thinking about doing things  ,and then never actually doing them.

Such as:

1. Reading that mile high stack of magazine subscriptions. I’ll do it later when I have “free time”. Seriously guys I’m so behind, Taylor Swift is still dating Calvin Harris!
2. Folding laundry: I’ll just turn the dryer on for the third time, and pretend the clothes aren’t dry. Please tell me someone else does this?! Anyone?!
3. Making a grocery list: Haha just kidding I’ll just backtrack 2342 times and look like a moron.

One thing I thought about a lot this summer was making Strawberry  lemonade. I didn’t want to make a whole pitcher for 2 people, and I just never got around to it. (Somehow we did get around to strawberry daiquiris, frozen strawberry margaritas, and strawberry mimosas though). Priorities! But, I’m not here to make excuses I’m here to make CHANGES!

I can still enjoy the tangy lemon and sweet strawberry flavor in these Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes.
