That is exactly what happens to me now. It is unbelievable how years change your opinions and views.

You’re hilarious! I am totally the “before” you. Even though I am always messing up the manicures by cooking. These muffins look fantastic!

I have to be honest with you, I still kind of yearn for those days! Anyway, love the site, keep up the good work?
Cruise for our 10-year in Nov. or another winter cruise again? Keep up the good recipe ideas!

Great post. There was a time in my life when I worked in a cubicle and wouldn’t have paused to read blogs like this. So glad THAT time has passed. This was like a breath of fresh air.

From one poorly-manicured blogger to another, I raise a glass to you.

Your post made me laugh out loud, Kristen – I’m lucky my boss is in home leave.

Things change and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. As long as your priorities are healthy ones, I say “you go, girl!”

Great muffins – send some over, please?

Ooh, those sound delicious!

I’m with you on a lot of those “there was a time when…” especially the I used to never leave the house without make up on!

Hehehe, great post! I have to confess, I still take secret pleasure in matching my underwear and outfit — but I’d take muffins over perfectly-shaved legs any day!

Those look particularly amazing and I actually have all the ingredients in the house (including brown sugar, which I have quite a time finding in France and hoard like nobody’s business when I run across it!). I’m going to give them a try ASAP!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a great comment.
I remember my diva days very well. I don’t miss them at all. There is so much more in life to fill my time up with than polishing the nails, spending an hour on my hair and make-up and watching my waist-line. Life is too short to be a diva. I still can’t believe that your husband waited for you to polish your nails…how adorable.

This post made me grin–I remember those “there was a time” days, too! Luckily, life just seems to get better and better, even if I don’t have nicely manicured nails. Thanks for sharing a great muffin recipe!

I’m so glad you made the muffins and liked them. They are a favorite from childhood.

I shave my legs every other day – does that count??

HI Kristen,

I hope you all are having a terrific summer! It is so hard to believe that we are almost down to a month until we start all over again. I am not sure I am ready to get super busy! Today, I made a cake with the yummy Chocolate Buttercream Frosting that you recommended. It is oh, so good! I had the frosting all over my lips by the end! I hope it is all the rave for the Bible study group meeting at my house tonight. I am hopeful that they will be so into the cake that they won’t notice all the paint cans, kitchen cabinets off their frames, and a hallway half done. Btw, I added your blog to mine, to remind me to check yours more often for yummies.

Hmmm, I think we’re kindred spirits in more ways than one, Kristen.

I’ll make those sexy muffins… just as soon as I can unpack everything that I packed this weekend. You might want to give me a couple of weeks…
