Part 2

Another busy week under my belt! Monday: Memorial Day, Already talked about it in a previous post. Tuesday: Book Club Meeting with my co-workers. We read, um, um, hold on, Oh yeah... Promise Not to Tell. I have no idea who wrote it. It was an okay book, it had a potato girl and lots of creepy moments. Our next two books for the summer will be: Garden Spells for July and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for August. neat. Picked Shannon up from the airport. I was surprised she even came back. Another BFF lost to the Michigan Black Hole.... This is the second time in my life a dear friend has met a boy from MI, stayed and never left. What gives? Wednesday: Had my beloved co-worker girls over for grillin' chillin' and AMAZING make-0vers. We also played board games and found out that i was most compatible with Good Liz. There was also a sleepover (on a school night! gasp!) and breakfast in the morning at Bruegger's Bagels. Thursday: I don't know what i did. Friday: Final Fa

Your dump cake was a masterpiece in culinary history! Monday: Birthday dinner for Sarah D at Kelly & Kyle's, with some grilled steaks, corn on the cob and a heap of Gossip Girl on the side. Serena take that stupid tassel out of your hair and PLEASE let Blair and Chuck last longer than a week next season. Tuesday: Co-worker BFF\GC secret poop bathroom extraordinaire Kristin literally RAN to my house... 4 miles in what we had no idea was 97 degree weather! Super Star!

Wrecking Cakes, Gossip Girl Style

Image
My cousin Kelly and I had this brilliant idea to make our own version of Cake Wrecks. If you haven't seen the blog Cake Wrecks , you must go! These are professional cakes gone horribly, hilariously wrong as they like to say. But what is better than a Cake Wreck? Our favorite show Gossip Girl as a Cake Wreck. We invited our pal Nikki to join us, (a recent GG convert) and we each made our own cake. Kyle was there to supervise and he said, "This is probably the second strangest lamest event I've ever attended, the first being opening night of Twilight at the theatre." These are some fabulously awesome cakes, you never have nor never will again witness such breathtaking beauties!!! My Amazing Chuck Bass Cake Nikki's Fierce Cake Kelly's Ghetto Fab GG Cake!

Better than TWD?

I did not make the Lemon Tart. I had to make a cake last night for an extra special blog post that will commence tomorrow. The Upper East Siders are going to be a wreck! XOXO Check Back Tomorrow....

Today is my 2 year anniversary at my job. To "normal" people 2 years is not a long time to be a at a job... to my people that is a MILESTONE! I've had a handful of jobs since high school and graduating from college. The longest I've stayed at a job has so far been 1.5 years. I just get restless and bored very easily, and so I have no problems putting in my two week notice. As a matter of fact i have become quite good at it, considering I've changed jobs A LOT! The other miracle of this job is that i hated it when i first started. I never thought I would stay there longer than a month... and now here I am 2 years later! It's not the most exciting job, nor is it my dream job, but it's a job that i like. I have great co-workers that make the day most enjoyable. For example, just yesterday my work BFF and I hid a book about poop in the bathroom. Just some light reading to add some humor to our day. It's stuff like that, that makes me love my job! And how a

TWD~Tiramisu Cake

Hello, My name is Noir and I am blogging in place of my owner Sabrina. She was too tired to blog so she asked me to write this for her. So while she is sitting here watching Gossip Girl, I am going to do her dirty work, because she is too busy drooling over Chuck Bass. Whatevs. Tiramisu cake: I so wanted to make my big comeback with this cake! And sadly, this was my biggest disappointment yet. Mostly because the frosting did NOT turn out right. All that wasted marscapone makes me sad. It tasted awful, and my cream would not get thick. I did like the cake part... very different than the traditional tiramisu I've been used to. Making the cake was simple, and I decided to make it in a 9x13" pan instead of the 2 round ones. So I plopped the icky frosting on top of the cake and sprinkled mini-chocolate chips on top. It didn't taste half bad, but its not at all what I expected. I wanted the marscapone to be light and fluffy. Oh well, better luck next time. On PBS the other day

Turkey Lurkey

I have been convinced lately that none of my real life friends read my blog. Turns out my lurkers are my real life friends. How do I know this? Well yesterday I was hanging out and catching up with my pals from high school and they apparently knew everything that was going on in my life. How & Why? "We read your blog!" OH. Thanks guys! You are the best! I no longer have any site monitoring devices on my blog, I have no way of keeping track of where people are lurking from. But what I want to know is, I wonder how many others lurk on my blog? I love my lurkers by the way. So hello creepy friends! Lurk away. Also on a totally unrelated note, I have been having really weird dreams lately. I mean these babies would put the Sci-fi Channel to shame. I usually have very vivid and colorful and outrageous dreams, but lately they are INSANE!!!! I might have to start writing them down! They start out tame and by the end of the week, I'm growing chicken eggs inside my body. So to

Good Advice

Read in Elle Magazine May 09' issue: Dear E. Jean: What should I have in my bag when I'm going out and thinking I may spend the night with a guy? E. Jean: I always carry fuzzy slippers, binoculars, and a copy of The Brothers Karamazov, a box of triscuits, and a slingshot. I heart E. Jean who writes for Elle Magazine. Her advice is always truthful, helpful and strait forward. Now I'm not advocating for one night stands. Nope! Never! But if I had to pick a few things to pack in an overnight bag, I would have to have: a pencil sharpener 3-d glasses left over chicken salad a copy of Dressing your Pet for Dummies trick gum that turned your tongue black A Pee-Wee Herman Doll What would you pack?
