Cuppiecakes

I got to make cupcakes today! Yay!

I love to bake and decorate cakes. It is so much fun!

I made cupcakes for a baby shower we are having for a girl at work. They are just basic chocolate cupcakes with blue buttercream and sprinkles, but they were fun to make.

I need excuses to bake more...put in your orders now!

Just Another Day of Hotness

So I went grocery shopping today at the big smiley face place. Here is the highlight of that experience...

I was walking along puching my cart (buggy for you suthren crazies), happily spending the Sugah Man's money. I am dressed like I usually am...jean capris, flip flops, low cut shirt (those of you who know me in real life know I like to let the "girls" breath).

I pass a guy on the main aisle. He smiles and says hi. I say hi back. He says "you look good." I say thank you and keep walking. He says something about phone...I swear I heard "phone a friend"...but anyway, I took it to be something about wanting my number. I said "no, I am married" and turned down an aisle to get Sugah Man's shower gel so he can smell good for me. He comes back to the aisle and tells me I have a nice shape. I say thank you again. Then he asks if he can take my picture...I say no. Now, I am smiling and laughing at him the whole time because he was nice and funny, but in the back of my mind I was thinking, "is this about to get really creepy?" Then he asks again if he can take my picture and says he can take it from the neck down...I am choosing to believe this is because he thought I didn't want to be recognized, not because from the neck up is bad. I say no again. His final attempt was asking if he could get a hug. I say no again and tell him he is crazy as I laugh and walk off.

Then it got creepy. I walked down the next aisle and another guy peeks his head around the end of it. Then his head disappears and I hear something about big...I am choosing to believe he was talking about my tatas and not me in general. I guess the first dude told his friend to check me out...but peeking dude was older and creepier.

Sigh...I can't take the "girls" anywhere. ;)

I'm Baaaack!

Ok, I have not blogged for a whole week...you guys are probably going through withdrawal, right?

I had a fabulous weekend! I spent the whole weekend with Invisagirl, Saturday night with Hedgehog, and a few other people made guest appearances in my weekend. the only thing that could have made my weekend more fun would have been Mannequin joining us...sigh.

Friday night "Invisagirl" and I had dinner with Purple, Prada, and Prada's husband, Sequins. Prada had on a fabulous Prada jacket and red lipstick...loved it! Prada also had a few drinks, she was silly. Sequins told us about his new skis and his new red, sequined ski boots...I can see him on the slopes now.

Saturday afternoon iInvisagirl and I attended a wedding before heading up to K'ville to steal Hedgehog from her smart people boarding school. when we got there Hedgehog informed us that she put down Invisagirl as the responsible adult on the leaving school form...I really couldn't argue with this, but sigh. We also decorated Hedgehog's room for Halloween...scary!

Then we headed to Da Forge for the night, where we kept hedgehog up past her bedtime...bad aunties. At Da Forge we finally decided on a hotel to stay at, then we headed out for some F-U-N! We went to MagiQuest where we went through the mirror maze, the laser room, and played MagiQuest...I must admit defeat to Invisagirl, how did she beat me?!?!?

By the time we headed for dinner it was 10:30 and the Chinese restaurant hedgehog requested was closed for the night...don't worry, we still fed her, TGIFriday's for her! At TGIF we had a guy waiter, maybe in his early twenties. He was checking out our little Hedgehog, we thought we should have low jacked her before we let her go to the restroom on her own. When he brought us our check he ended up giving it to Hedgehog cuz he pointed at the hot tea on the ticket...when she said she didnt' order hot tea Invisagirl said "No, he was calling you hottie". Waiter said ssshhhh...and then Invisagirl told him she is only 16...hahaha. Waiter was like "woah, I better back off". Then he talked about how girls are maturing much earlier these days and it is hard to tell how old they are. When he came back to the table Invisagirl gave him a glimmer of hope that he could have Hedgehog by saying "She isn't 16" when he asked for my ID with my debit card...he thought she was talking about hedgehog. He ended his night with "16 will get you 20" and a note on the check that told him I was going to blog about him trying to pick up a 16 year old.

The next day we made a quick drive through the Burg since I have not been there...I love all the kitschyness! I am going to try to get Sugah Man to take me there for our 5th anniversary in May. Then when we were finally heading back to K'ville (Hedgehog had a lot of homework to do and needed to get back early) Invisagirl got a bad tire on her car. We hade to stop and have it fixed, which made Hedgehog get back to school later than we planned, but we got more time with her, Yay!
