On blogs and blogging and to-do lists

Cake Toss by Amy Cutler

I love lists beyond all reason and must write at least three or four different ones a day: grocery, to-do, try to remember, etc... . But sometimes I feel I need a list for my lists! So many things get lost in the shuffle, forgotten as the ink fades away. I wish I had a reason for why this blog landed on one of those disappearing pages, something more exciting than "I don't know what I want to say so I won't say anything at all" or "sometimes this whole internet thing just freaks me out." Having a blog can so quickly start to feel like another one of those things you have to do...the pleasure packs up and runs away on an extended vacation to a place with no phone service or internet connection.

Thankfully, as with all things that are at the core of who a person really is, the passion always comes back—maybe changed a little from all of the sightseeing and good sleep, but better. Stronger and clear-headed.

I've been working on a new website, www.jessicasreed.com, that will serve as a home for all of my cake projects, as well as launching pad for the custom cake baking business I hope to begin. Because of these things, among others, I have decided to give myself the gift of more time by ending Cake Thursday. All cakes and invites will be archived on the new site (as well as living here).

My plan now, while I get the site up and running, is to start gathering up the dust bunnies that have accumulated around PoC these past few months and start posting again, hopefully at least once a week. There are so many interesting and wonderful things I've learned about, tasted and tried over the years that I sincerely hope will interest you all. If there are things you'd like to know about or see on this blog, please let me know (info@jessicasreed.com)!

Thanks for sticking with me and Pictures of Cake...
