A funny thing happened to me last Thursday, I realized it was Thursday. “Holy crap”, I told my husband, “it's Thursday”. I believe I got some smart remark back about next week we would go over the months in the year, once I got this whole days of the week thing down. ;) Which actually might not be a bad idea since I keep writing August on everything...yeah, it's October next week. Which by the way, how on Earth is that possible? The point being in all of this though, is that in discovering it was Thursday meant that I completely spaced on Tuesday. Or more importantly, Tuesdays with Dorie. Life has been extra unique as of late. LFB still battling her eye. CCS decided that she needed to compete with an illness of her own, going to the Vet herself for tummy and poopy issues (festive). And in all of this I am sick as well. I have that fun I don't really seem sick until I lay down to sleep, then I cough like crazy and can't sleep, no matter what. I even have a sexy … [Read more...]
Second class fuzzball…
When I wanted a bunny (having owned many in my life) my husband asked me “what on Earth do bunnies do”? The thought of having a rabbit as a pet was something he had never thought about. I explained that just like a dog or a cat that the bunny would eat, sleep, poop, pee, play (not necessarily in that order though). Play? How does one play with a bunny is what he was thinking. Lots of ways, though her favorite is pretty much a game of hide and seek. She tries to play this with CCS as well, but CCS is a little too dense and just sits there staring at her. My husband had to admit that our bunny has as much personality as our dog. She is a diva from time to time, especially if you move things around in her cage. For if you do, she takes them and drags them back to where she thinks they should be. She drags her bowl to the front of the cage in the morning and bangs it to let you know she wants her food. She squeals with delight when she sees she is getting apple juice (she gets … [Read more...]
Getting fresh…
About a month ago, I went to a birthday party for Jessie (for both her and her blog) of Cakespy. If you don't visit Cakespy, you should. Jessie makes the cutest illustrations of cupcakes that you ever did see. And speaking of cute, Jessie is about as adorable as a person can possibly be! Seriously. She also is the size of my leg. Apparently every time she eats a cupcake the calories get sent to my thighs, not hers. :P It was of course held at a cupcake shop (Cupcake Royale). While we were there we were served 3 mini cupcakes. One of those cupcakes was a white cupcake with fresh strawberry buttercream frosting. Wow that was good. So good I needed to take the larger version home. Since I only bought one it was gone before I knew it. And darn it, I wanted more! The drive down to Seattle seemed a bit much just to get a cupcake (though it was contemplated) so I decided to do the next best thing, make my own. My muffin pan was dirty, so I made a layer cake (gosh I am lazy, just wash the … [Read more...]
Bon Appetit has muffin top(and not the good kind)….
Photo from Bon Appetit.com You've heard it before and I will say it to you now, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Case in point, the muffin top. The once delicious part of an actual muffin, the term has now come to (according to Wikipedia) “describe the phenomenon of overhanging flesh when it spills over the waistline of trousers or skirt in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its paper casing. This generally occurs when an individual wears low-rise, hip-hugger pants, or midriff-baring tops that are too small.” Meaning just because you can squeeze yourself into a size 8 pair of jeans, if your ass is a size 12, it ain't going to look pretty. Bon Appetit has made their own muffin top as of late. Whoever they have chosen as their photographer is going in a direction that, though he/she can, they really shouldn't. Let us use this month's cover as our first example. When I took that out of the mailbox I just stared at it. My first thought … [Read more...]
