KRYNCAKE, HALF BIRTHDAY EDITION

After all, half birthdays only come once a year!

When in DC, cupcakes!

Going to cupcake shops is my thang I guess. I say thang instead of thing because I've been running on very little sleep and occasionally even the girliest of girls needs to go gangster, even if it just involves switching an i to an a.

It's the little things in life!

Anyway on our free day, Mary and Shelbie (and I! Of course!) went to Georgetown cupcake! Which in all honesty, has been on my want-to-do-in-DC list for ages. But I'm glad I waited till I had friends because it was so much more fun. I've also decided that Red Velvet is indeed another one of my thangs, because no matter where we go, it's always my first choice!

Red Velvet lovers ahoy! ALSO, props to Mary for being amazing and posing casually amidst the busy buzz of a major cupcake empire!

PS: And for nostalgia sake, the cupcake tag will do wonders for you. And by you I mean, your hips.

Lucky?

I don't know about you, but I don't classify myself as a lucky person. I mean, is luck even real? At this point we reach a dilemma. What about fate and chance? Philosophy is not my forte. Getting to the point, if luck is real, my aunt is really lucky. Something about her is lucky. I wish i could have inherited that. She got to meet Oprah (not that that is something to be proud of.) Glenn Beck, Train and she's chatted with Stu at Barnes and Noble, what an honor! She's always the lucky caller on radio shows. She's always Wednesday night Bingo winner at the senior center, and she's not even a senior.

So in honor of Lucky (Me) day, I entered a contest. Along with about 5000 other people. But who's counting anyway.
Isn't this just the cutest? Generally, I despise scalloped lace, but on a P.W. mixer, its adorable. So please pick me Ree, because that would really make for a great celebration.

Today I went to Emmers and made prune cake. But I didn't even get to eat any! Isn't that just so horrible? (I'm not being sarcastic here, I really like prunes. I like cake too so it can't be that bad) We were going to deliver some to Shy Guy, but we ran out of time. No cake for me, no cake for him. Sorry buddy, but that's how things work around this joint. I really don't like not being able to have cake.

Sincerely,
According to my Chinese fortune, Wednesday is my lucky day.

PS:
I love lemongrass.I really like this too.

P.W. does not know me. She has no idea I exist. There is the link for ya. Too bad I'm not being paid for all this great advertising. Then I'd throw away that old Chinese proverb. After all, its Friday.

I celebrate sugar

My day started off with me being totally oblivious to the fact that it was Sugar Cookie day. I could absolutely not remember. But I was too busy shopping to eat a sugar cookie anyhow. I had a cake pop instead. It was sugary. So there.

This was one of the first things I saw today. I didn't know how cool hot air balloons were until I saw them this morning. I was born in a very hip hot air balloon town. Hot air balloons are widely popular there. Our valley is catching on.

This was what I had instead of a Sugar Cookie. Although I delight in sugar cookies, Cake pops are way more tasty. Especially the birthday cake kind. And I actually know someone who has a birthday today. I ate that whole cake pop out of love for this person I don't really know. I celebrated in your honor Heidi.

Here’s the inside of my cake pop. As you can see, it is unbelievably fluffy and sugary. These are almost as good as Sprinkles cupcakes. But smaller. And bigger is better, and better is bigger and little bit is never enough (No no no!) Sorry. That just popped out. High School Musical, ya'll.

I hold my cake pops very tight because I think they are so delish. I do not want to drop the deliciousness.

So before I go any further I will tell you about sugar cookies. I used to not like them, but I found a great recipe and I will love them forever. I made these perfect ones at Christmas and I tried to sell them on Ebay. Sadly, no one was interested. I actually just finished those last month. I still wanted to sell them. I finally gave in to the delight.

Today I've been shopping since 8:00 for camp stuff. Items. I got almost everything I needed, and maybe more. I got a $40 dollar dress for $10 bucks. What a steal! I also happened to go to the Gap. It was probably the best happening ever.
You may think it is strange I am posting a picture of my clothes in the dressing room at Gap. I think it is hilarious. Here's the reason. After we'd been shopping for a while, this helpful young guy came to help us "start a dressing room." Whatever that means. I obviously don't shop in Gap very often because I was confused. When we finished and actually got to the dressing room, all my clothes were neatly arranged on the racks and door. I dont know about you, but I think that is pretty posh. Thank you Kevin. Or was it Jimmy?

Sincerely,
I am wearing that purple shirt now.

PS: High School Musical side note for awesome people who take classes: Did you know that Peter started singing High School Musical at the last chemistry class? I know that song by heart, go Peter!

PPS: Be sure to check eBay next time you are craving a sugar cookie. You never know what you'll find.

PPSS: I appreciate interns alot too. I want to be an intern for Glenn Beck. I am sort of an intern now. But not for Glenn Beck. I volunteer at the library. That is very intern-ish.

Who's Birthday??

Today is the Queens birthday. But I have a problem, I don't know which Queen. For all I know, it could be a Queen from 1654 or 1482. Or 2011. And Which country? England? France? Spain? It could be any Queen from any country during any time period. I don't know which! So Happy Birthday to the Queen, whoever you are.

Sincerely,
Happy Birthday to.....?????

PS: If it really is Queen Elizabeth, which I'm guessing it is, Happy Birthday. I liked your hat at William and Kate's wedding. I thought it looked like a cake. And I like Cake. I'd be happy to come visit your country anytime, we can have tea together. Just send me an invitation, and I'm on my way.

Update: I just found out that today is just a holiday. Its not really the Queens birthday. And I wonder if they celebrate the Queens Birthday when there is a king. Just Wondering. Queen Elizabeth's birthday is actually April 21st. Happy Belated Birthday. I would still like to come for tea
