Just a typical Friday in the house....

I got up with every intention of going back to bed and lounging for a good part of the day... like all of it. I'm serious, I had every single plan of sitting in my bed and alternately sleeping and reading/finishing Wideacre and maybe starting The Favored Child.

And then I got out of bed to do Liv's hair and it just didn't feel right to get back into it.  What the hell is wrong with me? It used to be that if I actually got out of bed, my day consisted of doing everything possible to divert my feet from making a beeline back to it, now once I get out of it, I don't usually get back in until nightfall... I swear if my bed could walk and talk it would do a parental abduction on me or at least sue reality for custody...

So since I was up, I decided to go make jewelry.  I'm working on an orange necklace.  I don't have orange.  Well I do but I want another one.  I was going strong on that one until I remembered the church meeting was tonight and this was my chance to give Tammey her cupcakes and her mother her brownies.  I know I said that we could wait until Christmas since she wasn't able to bring me pans but I found a deal on 18 foil pans at BJ's yesterday so I figured let's do this!  So I started with the glass to make the Cracked Glass Cupcakes when I got that done (Which honestly I should have done last night, I realize now) I started on the red velvet cupcakes.  In the middle of those I had to stop and go to Kay;'s school but that was a five minute trip so whatev...

So I got home and baked those.  While I was baking those, I started on the brownies...


There's a pan missing but only because I couldn't fit it in the picture...  You can see the second batch of cupcakes right above it. Excuse my messy table... And that pile on the floor.  Livy refuses to clean it up.  I don't know why...

Then I started the cookie dough so I could drop it into the brownie pans.  When that was done I loaded the pastry bag and iced Tammey's cupcakes.  Used the small circle tip.  I need to find connectors for the large tips.  I guess I should go to Wilton's online store and try to find them.... Anyway...  They came out looking like this...  The glass hasn't hardened yet so if it doesn't, they will be delivered as such...


She wanted Cream Cheese frosting.  Blech!  Aside from the fact that I can't each cheese in any form, I just don't like the frosting.  Of the dozen left, seven of those got the rest of the frosting and five were left bare.  

I had a little down time after that but not much cause I had to check the brownie/cookies...



They all came out really well.  I'm kinda certain that one of the bottoms might be a little crispy but I'm allowed a little bit of burn sometimes.  At least that's what I'm telling myself...

Anyway, they came out looking like this...





So I sat down to write this blog post and I realized that Mrs. Ware said she wanted Peanut butter as well so here I go.  Back to the kitchen.  Those are in the oven and with the leftover dough for the peanut butter ones I added some chocolate chips and put them on a pan.  Those will be for me.  I get to be selfish...

So in a few minutes I'm going to go get the last of the brownies and let them cool for a bit.  I have to be out of here by six thirty to go get mommy which means I have to have them cooled and bagged by then.  I have been baking since about eleven this morning and I have to admit, I'm tired.  Briefly wanted Facebook back today if only to post these pictures, but my blog is good enough.

Told you I could do Donna Reed better than Donna....

Heh!!!

See you at the end of the night loves!!  Might do the O blog tonight.  I got a topic that's not Orgasm!!  I'm kinda excited!!

By the way, I still have some baking supplies left but only because I need like five dozen sugar cookies and more brownies within the next three weeks....
