Aww, Bloggers, I Suck

I know I suck. I haven't been writing as much as I used to but that will change I promise, I am now allotting myself more time to devote to you guys. Not that anyone cares if I write or not but I feel like I've let myself down when I don't. Who knows? Someone may read my scintillating words and see the light! lol. Or maybe not. So what have I been up to you wonder?

Well nothing.  I work, I had a bachelorette party on Saturday, everything wasn't exactly as I wanted it but it turned out OK, the before party at the house was nice, I wasn't able to go out with the girls but at least I did get to wear a slutty dress like everyone else. That's always fun! I won't be participating in the Blog Fest after all I missed the deadline, so I am thinking of how to incorporate a contest into my blog I would love to make it a monthly thing.

Currently my sister has decreed I am on a diet, she thinks that may be the root cause of my legs not working the way they should so I am now on bean sprout duty. Well not Bean Sprouts but close to it. lol. She took away my Mountain Dew, I may have to kill her now.

Today is hat day at work, I have a weird cowboy hat with feathers on it. I know I look ridiculous in a hat.

I missed yesterday at work because I just couldn't walk. It was horrible. I stood up I fell down and cried a little, my legs looked like Quasimodo. I am currently reading a historical romance novel from Victoria Alexander and I have two different postings for The Interview to post but they are at home, I am going to combine them and you are going to see one long post as Post 9. I am putting that on there today when I get home.

So I am thinking about doing a podcast...Not sure what my topic would be. What do you think?

Update

I know I have been slow on the blog lately. I apologize. My health has been up and down and for the past week my Internet has been intermittently not working at home. I have a lot to share and as soon as I get over the Internet/Health hump I will be here everyday again. I do want to apologize to any readers who haven't found installments on The Interview and anyone who just likes to watch me ramble.

Timewarner and I are locked in a battle, they say my outside cable needs to be replaced but it goes into my neighbors yard and he has a dog tied to that pole. I cant get my neighbor to respond to me on that front so Timewarner says I can't get the issue corrected. When I have been trying to get everything working with them for well over a month they offered me FOUR DAYS worth or credit. Need I remind them I haven't had a good Internet or cable connection since day one!? My cable skips, freezes, on demand isn't working. My Internet is up and down all day it doesn't stay connected and they want to give me four days of credit. Um, no. Either you fix the issue and give me the credit I deserve or I will go back to satellite. I do not care at this point. lol. Anyway, they gave me a months worth or credit and are sending yet another technician out to my house. (My third).

Now keep in mind I'm mostly flat on my back at this point because my legs are throbbing and are not up to keeping me on my feet. (Which are swollen to about the sizes of grapefruits at this time) So, yes. I have been fighting some battles and sleeping a lot and working a lot and trying not to lose my mind.

Stay POSITIVE!

Wednesday...A lot happens on Wednesday. Today is payday for me, Today I have tickets to see an advance screening of Despicable Me at 7pm here in Charlotte. Today I had to call out of work because I couldn't physically stand on my legs. They are improving now, the swelling has gone down with the help of a heating pad and sleep, but I'm still in pain here.

I refuse to miss my screening. I have been wanting to see this cartoon since I saw the trailer for it. And I will definitely let you guys know what I think!

If you are fortunate to live near an Ikea then they are having a monstrous sale for the past week, and it looks like this weekend they are going to have a great TV stand for $20 bucks so go grab one guys! I've almost got my office/craft room the way I want it and as soon as I do I will be posting some photos, I'm also almost finished with Kerrelyn Spark's All I Want For Christmas is a Vampire and a review is coming up!

Tonight after the movie I'm going grocery shopping. I have the following coupons that I am going to use:

1 Free Can of Libby's Veggies
1 Free bottle of Suave Shampoo or Conditioner
1 Free Weight Watcher's Cheesy Scramble with Hash browns
BOGO Free Nabisco 100 Calorie packs product

Also, yesterday I received my package from Amazon, a very good friend gave me a birthday gift certificate for Amazon and I was able to order the following:

Avatar DVD
Valentine's Day DVD
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyers (for Reagan)
Taste of Home Freezer Cookbook (for Reagan)
Gillette Razor
Cricut Spatula

I was very happy to get it and look forward to vegging out in the living room this weekend with the movies. I will also make Reagan write a review for both the books I gave her, including the cookbook which by the way looks awesome and has some great recipes. The key to this cookbook is that you prepare the meals and then freeze them, the day you want to eat them you take them out to thow and and there you go! Fun.

Well, I will be back later with that movie review!

The Naughty Cupcake ~ Sassy Icing...Oh Yeah Baby!

So yesterday as you all know, was my birthday. I turned 30. Just something about the big 3-0 that makes you look back on what you've done with your life and wonder..hmm. Well I COULD have done this differently, I SHOULD have done this differently...But you know? I don't think I'd really make that many different choices. Why, you ask? Each mistake I've made, everything I've been through in my last (gulp) 30 years, have made me the kind of person I am today. Yes, I may have to save money to be considered poor (it really is bad, but whatever, money is money, its just green shiny paper) and I may have a job I hate (I do hate it!) and I may be single, childless and alone...but I'm also compassionate where some people I know feel nothing for others, I'm happy regardless of the fact that I have a few minor health issues, and I'm pretty darn mature. I may have a thing for pink and polka dots, I may still LOVE Disney cartoons, but you know, during a hard time or a crises, I'm there all the way to help out.

But whatever, right? On to more interesting topics. I watched the new Food Network Cupcake wars last night and it was rather interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of some of the things these people were using in their cupcakes (avocado chocolate cupcakes anyone?) but it was interesting. The Vegan cupcakes were VERY cool, they looked awesome and the judges seemed to like the taste, but sometimes I question those types of judges tastes.

One judge described the taste of a cupcake to be Naughty and Sassy. I laughed for well over an hour. I don't think I've ever had a naughty cupcake before. Did it whisper sweet nothings in her ear? Did it flash her some thigh? I'm just curious here, you know, for professional reasons.

I think I want to take the Wilton's decorating classes for cakes, those seem fun. I want to open a new line of Penis Cakes. I can do it in all colors and nationalities. I thought it would be funny to see a cobalt blue penis cake that says "Oui, Mon Cheri". Go Figure.

My sister made these awesome Peanut Butter Bon Bons for me, her own recipe.

Reagan's Naughty Bon Bons

1 tub of White Cake Icing (About $1.20 at Walmart)
Peanut Butter (In her words "I just added spoon fulls until it was to hard to stir.")

She let it sit in the fridge for a bit to thicken and then rolled it all up into little balls, it made A LOT of bon bons. She rolled chocolate sprinkles onto some and dipped others completely in melted chocolate, some were left just plain..anyway they were awesome and I'm sitting here at work with a baggie full of them hidden in my purse.

Hopefully I will Write more later!
