TACO Tuesday

Kelly, over at Dysfunctionally Functional, does a TACO Tuesday, and I decided to play along this week.

"T" is for:
Tonight. I am looking forward to it. I'm going to go out for dinner and hang out with some friends.

"A" is for:
The Avengers. I really want to see the movie again! I'm not sure if it will happen before it goes to the cheap theatre or not, but either way, I will eventually own and watch the hell out of that dvd.

"C" is for:
Chocolate cupcakes. I just made a batch of them today, they will be iced with peanut butter buttercream. And I will do my best to not eat them all.


"O" is for:
Oh. As in: Oh, why do I keep baking tasty things? I love to bake and unfortunately with that goes the fact that I love to eat. lol

I may turn my cupcakes into these..

Head over to Dysfunctionally Functional to play along!

Noah

Have you heard of Noah? I just heard of him yesterday, but I am so glad that I did. This guy is AMAZING!

I'm posting his LMFAO cover of "Sexy and I know It" because, well, it's freaking amazing, and it's the one that's getting him loads of attention. I sat and listened to a lot of his other videos last night, and then this morning I played them for my kids. Anyway, go check out his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/only1noah

My lucky day!

I was putting the mother's day cards that I made into envelopes this morning, and gave myself a paper cut on my lip. It hurts. I was thinking to myself, this just is not going to be my day..and then I checked my email.

There was a message from Angie, over at Eclectic Recipes, letting me know that I was the winner of a 7 quart KitchenAid stand mixer!! I had to go to her site to double check, because I'm really that unlucky. lol!
Head over to her site and check it out!
I am so extremely excited, I literally squealed when I found out!

!3 random things related to baking, my kitchen, and myself.

1. Making brownies while home alone is the best! 
2. There's no one else here to lick the bowl ; )
3. I am slightly addicted to making salted caramel
4. I am also addicted to eating salted caramel
5. While I made salted caramel brownies this morning, there was someone in my sink
6. That someone was Tatsu, one of my bearded dragons.
7. I don't really mind doing the dishes
8. They get done by hand, we don't have a dishwasher
9. Well, we do, but we have never hooked it up
10. I don't really care to have it hooked up
11. It makes a great spot for storing pots and pans

Monday Musings

• I wanted to see The Avengers again, this weekend, but the showings that I wanted to see were sold out.
• I guess I'll go another time, but I need to make sure that I do, because I really want to see it again.
• I made some "Almond Joy" friendship bread today, it turned out pretty tasty
• I have been on a serious music kick lately
• Normally when I'm alone all day, it's quiet in here
• Not anymore, loud music almost all day
• Plus, I spent a lot of yesterday evening with my ipod and earbuds 
• I'm boring, and have nothing else to say..

Thursday 13 - dislike

I don't like it...

1. waking up with a headache 
2. hot and humid days
3. wearing shorts - it almost never happens
4. being told how to do something - I don't take instruction well. lol
5. falling asleep while watching something that I want to see - so I try not to lie down
6. when someone else gets to the bathroom just before I get there - having only one bathroom sucks
7. when I finish an amazing book - I feel like I've lost friends
8. when I forget to bring a book with me - I'm early to a fault, so a book helps time pass
9. forgetting to bring my water bottle - it goes everywhere I go, these days
10. running out of ibuprofen
11. when we are supposed to get a thunderstorm and it misses completely
12. the neighbor's yippy dogs at 5am
13. my dvd player - it's acting wonky
