Olympics!

Yes, I'm sure you're going to be sick and tired of that word in two weeks. But I like watching them and they're starting today!

Also, chocolate festival starts today at Central Market. Wooo!

It's a good weekend. :D

Two things I missed on yesterday's post: first off, Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is rather damn awesome, and second off, I went jogging yesterday for a little bit. That half mile felt like it was two miles by the time I got to the end of it. Need to get better a little more first before I get back into jogging. Guess I'll just walk in the meantime. I walked pretty much two miles yesterday anyways. But I thought I would give jogging a quick try.

And today I feel like crap. Figures. Cold's getting better, just feel like crap. Meh.

Woke up dream-addled and stumbling over to my alarm this morning to find out while yes, I did turn the alarm back thirty minutes, I did not actually set it. Which I guess works out that the weird dream woke me up at 10-ish a.m.

But yeah, those dreams. Annoyingly weird. First one I remember is in a house. We're preparing to leave but first we have to fix food. And there's this big stew pot of spaghetti I'm having to watch. And we have to go! But the spaghetti has to be finished. So I'm stirring this pot of noodles and watching it.

And the next dream is I'm in marching band again. We're practicing and it's the big day of performing. So after practice, we're sitting, talking and waiting around before we're announced. But wait! I don't have a uniform! Where's our uniform at? So I run off to get a uniform. But nothing's fitting right. So they bring out this other uniform and it's a bit big but it fits. Then I have problems fastening the snaps, and hey it's the wrong colors. But that's okay, we're all wearing different colors now! So they won't notice. But hey oh crap! We're late! The band's starting to march out already. So I take off running, hoping I don't bash my clarinet in the process.

That's when I wake up.

Ahahaha, so cupcakes are actually kinda messy. I mean making them. I knew they could be messy eating them.

They're strawberry cake with chocolate frosting. Not bad really. Its just frosting them turned out to be really messy. Really, really messy. And I'm clutzy as well so I'm amazed I didn't drop any on the floor.

And I got a small burn when I checked the cupcakes with a toothpick to make sure they were done, and accidentally pulled my hand up too high. Yeah, I was stupid enough not to pull the cupcake pan out of the oven enough to check them. *sigh* Well, I'm learning. :P I don't bake all the time. :P

But, they are delicious and I have a looooot of them. Lots. Like twenty of them.

I have made pie!

Okay, my dad helped. ^_^ But now there are two delicious lemon icebox pies ready for consumption. I'm bringing one up to work tomorrow. ^_^

Saw a promo spot on the Food Network for this web page: The Gluten-Free Girl.
