Running on empty…

It’s a known fact I don’t run and am not a fan of it as a general rule. I own a bumper sticker that reads “0.0 I don’t run”. I’ve done the 5k and 10k thing and even a triathlon back when I was 31 because a friend thought it would be a fun thing to do (she was wrong). My point is I can run…I choose not to. I bring this up because you may recall my special friend who went to lunch with me last year and started with “remember when you used to be in shape”. For the record she has gained some of that weight back. Just saying. :P Anyway weight comes and goes and I don’t care about people’s shapes or sizes. Aside from her being the food police when you go out to eat with her (she sells diet supplements and always wants you to buy them from her) she LOVES to tell me how in shape she is because she runs. She does a 5k at least once a month if not more. She wasn’t really believing me when I said I can run I choose not to. She took it upon herself to “challenge” … [Read more...]

What it takes…

First just want to say that I am pretty sure the person that wrote the email is real. They have an AOL address and an IP from Florida. In the words of my future mother-in-law she is probably a little on the senior side. Which is fine but may explain the repetitiveness (I hope). I do get some weird emails from time to time my other favorite is the man that asked for nude photos of me and of course the Refund Muffin. If you have never read those you probably should. Also yes, we have made the email a drinking game which can do some serious damage. So if you want that play at home version you will have to copy and paste that...as there is no print button for the email. What can I say...I'm not a best blog. Second let’s talk about best blogs for a second. No, I’m not going to list my favorite blogs. I am going to talk a bit about what people think being a professional blogger is like. For the record I am not a professional blogger. I don’t make enough money at blogging to call … [Read more...]

The Joy of Packing…

In moving I have discovered that I am the worst purger ever. Good thing I’m going up in space and not down. Going down in space would really suck right about now. The biggest issue I have of course is cookbooks. I thumb through one to decide if I should keep it or donate it. Only to waste 10 minutes reading through it. Only to decide to keep it. I mean how can you get rid of The Confederate Cookbook? You laugh but it has great southern recipes…see I am doomed. :D In other moving news the dog is a wreck. CCS is literally afraid of boxes. So you can imagine how upset she is. She has run into more stuff in the last couple of days then she ever has before. And she is in complete panic mode. I wish they made doggie vodka to take the chill off for her. :P She already takes puppy Prozac (for real) but that helps with her every day stuff not the new apartment maze of boxes. I found stamps. Lots of them. Which is good because I was just about to go buy stamps as I thought I didn’t … [Read more...]

Give us our daily rice…

I don’t know if I am singled out (I doubt it) but people have the perception often that since I run a dessert based blog that all I do is sit around and eat them all the time….and usually for breakfast. Hence the tote bag that was given to me by a friend (which I love btw)….Eat Cake For Breakfast. For the record I am pro eating cake for breakfast, I feel it is no different than that of a Pop Tart and probably has less fat and calories than the muffin people pick up at the coffee shop on the way to work. But I do seem to disappoint people when they ask what I had for breakfast. I know in their mind they are thinking some sort of homemade croissant, cream puff, apple strudel…something along those lines. Nope, not so much. On the weekends MDP makes breakfast 99% of the time (yes, I am lucky) and that is normally waffles and bacon or an egg hash brown scramble thing…with bacon. :) But when it’s just me here during the week I either eat a bowl of multigrain oatmeal or brown … [Read more...]
