I had a conversation yesterday with a woman I worked with about how random her son is. How he will just say, 'I don't like black eyed peas,' then just walk away.
So, here are my randoms for today.
1. I don't really care for ice cream.
2. Thunderstorms make me crave a grilled cheese.
3. I always like to play jokes when I go on first dates to test out the other persons sense of humor. No laugh, no way.
4. One of the biggest life decision I will ever make will be bangs or no bangs.
5. Today I'm going with bangs.
6. Tomorrow I will cut them and think I should have gone with no bangs.
7. I didn't watch Dirty Dancing until I was 22.
8. The real world needs naps.
9. When you get a phone it should come with 10 phone chargers.
10. Popcorn taste better with M&M's. Period.
A Simple Friday Night
Sometimes there isn't anything better than sitting outside by the fire with good friends.
These can be the best kinds of nights.
(p.s. I built the fire...)
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm pretty much theme queen when it comes to cupcakes.
Gimme a holiday, and I'll bake ya a cupcake.
Luckily for my co-workers, I bring them all of the cupcakes I bake each themed holiday.
The latest one? St. Patrick's Day.
I will say that I somewhat cheated, and by cheated I mean I bought everything and just added the correct ingredients. This St. Patrick's Day, I baked two types of cupcakes. Green vanilla with white cream cheese icing and chocolate with green cream cheese icing.
And green sprinkles.
(I'm sorry to those who thought I made all of these from scratch this time, I had a date that same night so I did what I could...)
First. This is what I used to cheat.
Added some food coloring...
Which makes it pretty.
Nice and green!
Bake away!
Getting ready to go to work the next day!
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, I decided to 'sell' cupcakes at work with all money benefiting Heifer International.
I created a Team Heifer account here:

We collected $17!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Time to Cook!
In celebration of St. Patrick's Day, my cousin Sarah and I decided to take a cooking class at Kitchen Co. The menu included Cornish Hens with Apricot and Balsamic Glaze, Turnip Puree and Gratin Cakes.
(Also, wine may or may not have been involved. Or Guiness....I mean, it was St. Patrick's Day.)
I've taken cooking classes in the past and they are always full of characters. This class was filled with a young couple celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary, two couples who have been friends for 38 years and a lady who was interestingly obsessed with barbeque sauce.
The night was enjoyable as everyone watched the self-made chef cook and entertaining listening to the older women discuss their life adventures together. The more wine they drank, the better the stories got.
Funny how that works.
Cooking classes are fun. Cousins are fun.
Going to a cooking class with your cousin is the best.
