Oh, Mono!

Hey, I have mono! 

And this section of my blog! 

Check this post out for more info on the mono life and, hey! Letters D and E set to come tomorrow!

Thank you all for the love and support as I died in my bed, ha. 

Happy Friday!

Cupcakes A-Z: C is for...

Calvin and Hobbes!

One of my all time favorite cartoons, if not all time favorites. Calvin and Hobbes is just overwhelmingly charming and funny. 

Duncanpology: An Apology, Cherry Blossom Cupcakes, & Duncan Heinz Mix Ups Review

HELLO! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALL! 

Which brings me to, SORRY SORRY SORRY SORRY!

I am not dead, injured, ill, or anything quite so dramatic. 

I was however cut from my position in the company I work for and shifted to new ones that involved interviews, travel, craziness, and now ridiculous hours. 

So, no blogging happened. 

Life happened all over the place though. 

Now I have a new role that involves more responsibilities and hours, plus a handsome boyfriend, and all the usual drama of being me twirling around on an endless loop.

Oh look! Cherry Blossom Cupcakes! 

Cute :)

Much nicer as a topic than my life. Let's talk cupcakes.

Cupcakes A-Z: B is for...

Bears...Beets...Battlestar Galactica!

From this scene, for those of you who don't recall this particular reference from "The Office". 

Gosh, I had way too much fun with these cupcakes. 

What Happened to B? Ice Cream Cake Pops...

Well, so. B never happened on Monday. I have no idea why, it was supposed to post. It just decided not to. Which is fine, I'll post it now. But, still.

And I don't notice because of that list. Pretty fun, right? 

My To-Do list is self generating at this point. And it's tragic because all I want to do is play SNES and eat pretzel M&Ms.

Or some of these guys. Yummmmm!

These pics are kind of old. /Really old. Remember that giant Hogwarts cake I made? Well, it was chocolate and massive. And so, after about 3 days of it taking up way too much space, I spooned it and smashed it into dixie cups topped with ice cream and made more ice cream cake pops again. 

Cucpakes A-Z: A is for...

ALIEN!

A is for Alien! Or in this case, ET.

News! News! An Alphabet Project

So I came up with this idea for a blog series on my pages.... 

Cupcakes A thru Z. A is for.... B is for....

You get the idea. (Find all the letters to date here)

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Filling: The Story of the Photogenically Unprepared Pies

Back from the beyond! And by "beyond" I mean, trips home and to California!

Good to see you too!

Once upon a time, it was the holiday season and I made a frack ton of holiday cookies for my house's holiday party and then for my dear friend, Sean's holiday party. Including these amazing amazing whoopie pies that got raved over, devoured, and were never seen again.

Avocado & Tomato Pasta... Hello there, Summer!

Yum. There is just something about avocado that makes everything better. 

This is one of those recipes that doesn't even count as a recipe. I took whole wheat pasta, sliced up a carton of grape tomatoes (over the bowl so I kept the tomatoey juices), and an avocado. Drizzled with a TINY bit of olive oil, dashed with some salt and pepper and, ta da.

Yummy clean eating. 

I am going to California for the week so, I'll be off the grid/no posting (again). 

Also, thanks to all of you who were supportive when I was sick last week. I got better just in time to go to Cali but, I am not allowed any alcoholic drinking due to the antibiotics I am on for the throat. I scratched it apparently which caused an infection which caused the death cold which required crazy powerful drugs that I am still on for the moment. 

Always an adventure, right?

Happy April! Talk to you guys in May! :)

And the winner is....

Hey guys! I am down for the count with a cold from h-e-double-hockey sticks but! I wanted to take this opportunity to announce the cupcake give-away winner! 

Drumroll please... 

And the winner is!

Nancy O'Connor Ames! 

As I said in my response, Maine isn't too far! Ha. I am so happy that I get to replace the cupcakes you so narrowly missed out on! And that such a loyal reader got the treats. 

To all of you who entered, you guys are amazing. I am so so blessed to have such loyal and supportive readers.  Thank you for all the comments and support! 

I am off to some nyquil induced sleep, ha. Nancy, can't wait to hear from you!
