Did yesterday really happen?
I mean is it REALLY already FRIDAY!?!
Did I, yet again, let a weekday pass without sharing some sort of hello or completely unimportant message to you all?
FOR THE LOVE.
Oh wait...
I was SLAVING over my sewing machine for most of the day yesterday making these...
Really there isn't anything I would rather be doing on a cold windy day.
I have finally started to wrap up my master bedroom.
I pulled out the sewing machine and my bags full of fabric,
I cleared the dining room table and hunkered down for some much needed sewing!
I had a few neighbors stop by for this and that...
I'm still getting use to neighbors,
it feels like I've been caved up in this house since we bought it in December so it's nice to see people out in their yards and have them honk as they drive by.
I LOVE my neighborhood!
Although every time someone stops by our place they each, very sincerely, comment about how nice we have made this house, followed by saying something about the previous owner and how he ran it to the ground.
This I already know of course.
If I found another dog hair or Airsoft pellet I think I just might find the previous owner myself.
He is such a mystery to me.
Since the house was foreclosed we didn't have any interaction with them.
As more and more time goes on and more neighbors comment on their neglect and filthiness I can't help but wonder what he is really like...
in the end his filthiness and neglect is what made it possible for us to buy such an enchanting house.
So in a way I am grateful for it.
This house is more than perfect for us right now and I have the freedom to let my imagination run wild...
as you all can see!
ARE YOU READY FOR A REALLY FUN ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
NEXT WEEK WILL BE ALL ABOUT MY MASTER BEDROOM!
Every post, every day I will spotlight EVERYTHING in my bedroom and explain the cost, the how to, the place I got it...
even the paint colors I used!
GET READY...IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT WEEK!
I couldn't help but share something else that I made yesterday.
Yes, instead of going to Crossfit I decided to make Spiced Carrot Cake Cupcakes with a White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting!
No, I don't feel guilty one bit!
I couldn't lift my arms above my head yesterday due to the back breaking WOD's {workout of day} the previous days so I thought this would be the perfect day to indulge!
After all I have been wanting,
more like mouth watering craving,
a Cocoa Bean cupcake for days now.
I halved the recipe which left seven for the two of us.
I ate only half of one before Jeff got home.
When he did he literally swallowed two whole...
When he did he literally swallowed two whole...
all before the welcome home kiss and smile.
But I digress,
I like when Jeff enjoys what I bake,
since he would rather have me in the kitchen fussing over some expensive cut of beef and perfectly seasoned potatoes it's nice to have him rave over these delicious treats.
I like to bake far more than I like to cook anyways...
so he might as well learn to grow a sweet tooth!
It's overcast today yet young teens are mowing lawns and dads are planting trees.
Reagan and I are off to the grocery store.
Wish me luck...
last time I went I waited in line with 2 items in my hand only to be greeted by a grumpy, dazed cashier who just happened to mention while she was lazily putting my items in the plastic bag that she has, "The worst hangover ever!"
AWESOME, I thought...
Did I mention this lady was like 54?
Did I mention it was 6 PM!!
YEAH like it was night time.
Apparently the shocked look and raised eyebrows on my face meant to her that I wanted to hear about the rest of the story...
"My best friend had her 35th wedding anniversary, she owns a bar...I've never been so drunk in my life!"
That comment only shocks me more since I have a hunch this isn't her first hangover...
I sheepishly laugh as I swipe my card.
I didn't want to seem rude so with a smile I said, "Thank you...and don't forget to get some sleep tonight and drink lot's of water."
I was half way out the door before I could hear her reply.
Bless her heart!
Now go out to your local Walmart and see what it has to offer you today!
I'm sure I will come back with a plethora of wonderful stories.
XOXO
Pin It Now!
That carrot cake was AMAZING! I'm so glad you shared it with me! and your pillows are darling! You are so talented!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh are you freakin kidding me with those pillows, I LOVE THEM!!! i want them all!! and i guess those cupcakes aint too bad either.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes look so good! You are a good cook.
ReplyDeleteI started Crossfit Sadie! Wed and Thurs were my Fundamentals classes and I jump in for the WOD tues. Just when the nerves went away I'm now scared to death to do a real class lol. I whimper going down the stairs or trying to sit down. My legs are shot. And only had 20lbs on my bar yesterday. I'm still unfamiliar with many of the lifts. I learned so many in the first two days I cannot remember what is what. It'll come in time I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes look divine! I'm down 2lbs this morning from what seemed like a never ending stall for the past three weeks. So something must be working =) I'm trying to follow the paleo diet as closely as I can. I still put milk in my coffee in the morning. And decided I wouldn't tell Dave (my trainer) about the diet Dr P I had today lol.
After doing HCG so many times in the past I am used to not eating grains and sugar. But I will miss beans and dairy! Of course I will cheat now and again ;P
You are doing great!! I love this program and if I didn't hurt so bad today I would want to go back!
