"Serious Fun"--an Oxymoron, or My Apron Arrived!

I discovered today that I am, and always will be, an English teacher, for when my new apron arrived in the mail, two words came to mind, serious and fun, and I immediately thought, oxymoron!  Let me explain. An oxymoron is a literary term meaning a self-contradictory combination of words, such as bittersweet, or jumbo shrimp, or holy war.  (Actually I just discovered that the word itself is an oxymoron, from Greek meaning sharp-dull.)  Have I lost you yet?  Are you falling asleep?  Then let me get to the photo!
Yes, I ordered an apron with Baking Daze in LA embroidered in yellow on red.  To me this apron means I am serious about my baking venture and committed to this blog, yet having so much fun!  The two words go together perfectly.
