Midnight walks
In order to try to lose some weight or at least get off my butt my husband has set up a little schedule for walking. Well, it really isn't a schedule more like a time block type thing. We walk at night. Now when I say at night I mean like almost midnight. In fact, it is 11pm and we have yet to go for our walk. I am sure though that we will be going quite soon. He is busy with a game map and I am dog tired. I hope he forgets tonight! I feel like a crackhead walking around so late at night with our dogs but it is really the only time that it cools down. We did get to see some nice lightning last night though.
myLifetime - it's about me
I admit it! I am such a sucker for anything on the Lifetime channel! My husband can't stand that I watch it but it is one of those things that a woman has to do! Ok, maybe not all women but you know you love the Lifetime channel. Did you know that they have a myLifetime.com? It has everything from holiday party ideas to articles about everything you can imagine. They also have daily updates of horoscopes and fitness advice! The fitness advice will help me since I am trying to lose some weight and the daily horoscopes are right up my moms alley. This is a really awesome website. Definitely one to bookmark and visit frequently.
You're joking right?
So a little bit ago we had a little excitement if you will. One of my brothers decided it would be fun to bring his friend into our house. That is not the problem because they come in here all the time. The problem is that we have three dogs that are very protective over their domain and that they were sneaking into the house. My sisters dog who loves everyone and anything even had her hackles up and was going after them. You don't sneak or play around like that in a house where you have two large dogs and a medium dog running around. It is a good way to get your friend bit and a lawsuit for your family. Just a "you're joking right?" moment!
Gimmees Promo Products
I have to admit when Shaina and I began talking about trying to do a baking business my thoughts first went to the different promotional products that we could offer to people to get them to come in and try a cookie or a cupcake. We could get a personalized pen with our company name on it and Gimmees offers it for a very good price. In fact, they offer a lot of different products that you are able to get for your company or even different events that you could be hosting. From pens to foam fingers you will find something awesome.
Latest Cupcake Try
I have no pictures of my latest cupcake try. Why? They did not turn out remotely well. The frosting did not fluff up and it turned out very oily or buttery rather. I think perhaps I will have to use real butter instead of margarine for the frosting recipe. That is the only thing I can think of. All the other steps went fine. I was trying the Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. I ended up trying twice and both went into the garbage. I also did vanilla cupcakes that turned out OK but they should have cooked longer. Chalk it up to learning. Next time I should be able to get something right.
