About Me

My photo
Well...I'm a happy person thanks to my fabulous husband, my family, my friends and all that God has blessed in my life. I love to laugh and to make others laugh...hysterically, possibly even until they wet their pants. I'm a fan of shopping, eating and reading. Unfortunately, I have the disgusting habit of picking/biting my cuticles (hence my love of Burt's Bees Cuticle Creme), and I have a tendency to be too trusting of others. I also have a hard time saying no to others, except in regards to my job. I'm an underwriter, so I get paid to say no every now and then. Russ and I enjoy boating in the summer and sitting on our butts in the winter. We have an amazing circle of friends, and basically, life is good :)

Oh My...

Well, I just had the BEST weekend EVER!! I did a whole lot of nothin' with my hubby, and it was wonderful. Well, I guess that's a lie. Not the 'wonderful' part...the 'whole lot of nothin' part. We have been apart for the last 3 weeks (out of town for work), and we just wanted to soak each other up this weekend. On Saturday, we went out for lunch (Qdoba Mexican Grill...yum), a little Starbucks, and a quick jaunt to the K-Roger (Kroger) to get the necessary items for Russell's delicious chili. Oh, the perfect Saturday.

Now, I purposely left out the best part of our mid-day outing, because I want to focus on this part for the rest of my blog, and you'll understand why:


To the left, you will see pictured what is quite possibly the best cupcake ever made. It is the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake, made by what could eventually be my best friend or my worst enemy: The Cupcakery.


I talked Russ into a lovely cupcake treat after our Mexican feast. He said he wasn't going to get anything...ummmmmm, yeah right. Not this kid. Not when he saw the deliciousness laid out before him. He chose the Double Chocolate, as you see pictured below.


O...M...G! Both were fantabulous! I can't wait until my next Cupcakery outing, BUT...this will be a true test of my self discipline (a.k.a. why they may end up as my worst enemy). Please see below:

First off, well, there is no first off...you know by simply looking at these pics that they're LOADED with fat and sugar.


Problem #2, two cupcakes cost $6.01 (including Tennessee's ridiculous 9.25% sales tax)!! Six dollars?!

Neither my hips nor my bank account can afford a habit like this, so a 'special treat' the Cupcakery will have to remain :( The real kicker: they have weekly specials. Freakin' awesome. I must refrain from visiting their website. I must beat my sweet tooth!!

But, just in case you're wondering, this week's specials would be the Grasshopper and the Island Dream. My mouth is watering now!



The Grasshopper: vanilla mint buttercream icing on dark chocolate cake.



The Island Dream: coconut buttercream icing on golden yellow cake.

Do you need to wipe your mouth yet?

Okay, two words for you... Betty Crocker. Seriously, those cupcakes are little slices of heaven yes, but for half of what they cost, you can have 24 little slices of heaven. I recently made a batch in honor of the dogs birthday. Yes, please observe what my life has become. Run, save yourself!
