PERFECT PRESENT

Perfect Present


I know that every gift from people can’t be the ‘perfect’ gift. I’ve gotten a lot of nice gifts from people but some stand out as wonderful. Last night I got a wonderful perfect gift.

I was so worried that I missed the UPS man, I was running up and down the stairs to check and see if I saw the truck. Finally at 6:49 it arrived. I opened the box and it was a cooler and had dry ice that was all evaporated and then I opened it and saw 9 cupcakes.

3 of them were red velvet with red velvet sprinkles and vanilla frosting.
3 were chocolate with chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
3 with white with coconut frosting.

Okay, so I must say at this point, I was like. Hmm. These don’t look all that great. I mean they were perfect, but they were super duper cute or fabulous. I put them on my cupcake stand and they looked a lot cuter than in the cardboard box.

Then I took 3, one of each type to a going away party. My friend Julie and I cut the cupcakes into quarters and then tried a piece. THEY WERE THE BEST CUPCAKES I”D EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!! They were so good, we went downstairs to the neighbor, who we knew made cupcakes just so that we could ask for 3 of her cupcakes, because they were so delicious!! OH MY GOODNESS, these cupcakes are SUPER DUPER good. And they are made in Napa. I’m totally there. I mean, Napa isn’t that far from Sac. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! And I’m NEVER sharing them with anyone else again. Ever.

Special thanks to Amber http://ambeegs.blogspot.com/ , for the perfect gift. And a special thanks to Opera, http://www.oprahs-favorite-things.com/ for listing them as one of her favorite things.

I've still got it baby

Okay, so we all know that I don't like being in my 30's. I mean, I know a lot of peeps say it's great and was the best time of their lives, but it's just not working for me. I really peeked in 8th grade. My skin is the only thing that's staid the same. 30 hit me like a mac truck this weekend on my way to Apple Hill.

Since I was the only one of my friends who really honors veterans by showing them how thankful I am by not showing up to work, I had to go to Apple Hill alone. For those of you not from the Central Valley, Apple Hill is a wonderful mix of farmers market, country, leaves, apples, and apple deserts. I love Apple Hill. I went to Apple Hill for my 28th birthday with Karen and Sarah and have a super cute photo of myself. Let me try adding it.

Okay, so I couldnt' find it and i think I loaded one from my 29th brithday, but I can't see it, so maybe it didn't work.

On my way up the mountians I was cruzing along at a comfy 81 mph in a 55 zone, when a bikecycle cop (maybe when he get's old enough he can get a car!) appeared behind me and pulled me over. I was totally sick. I mean, I'm over 30 and my never getting a ticket (other than fix-it tickets which don't count) run had finished. I try to think I'm still hot, but this Hot Buttered Cop Cornholio obviously didn't see that when he pulled me over. So I hand Officer Fife my drivers licence and registration. He went back to his bike and the whole time I felt like CRYING!! But then tought "I could have a good attitude or a bad attitude and the ticket will be the same. " I then started laughing becuase I mean, I really should have given the cops at least $10,000 in fines and thats just the ones I get pulled over for. Like this morning I wasn't paying attention and pulled thought a stop sign with out stopping. That was freebie. Sorry I digress.

The Fuzz comes back and hands me the ticket to sign and I sign it and smile and hand it back to Officer Doughnut. I'm totally thinking of how my friends are going to laugh becuase I finally got a ticket. Then Officer Jack Hole says "I just did this for a fix it ticket to take the tint off of your front windows. You're not supposed to have anything on them. Take this ticket to any Law enforcement and have it signed and sent to the address on the back. And slow down and becareful pulling back into traffic.

I'm so in love with Officer McDreamy who thinks 'mature' women are hot enough to let off without a ticket. CHP I Salutue you and will donate to your next chairty event, even if it's for Special Olympics.

Is it worth it?

I buy a lot of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. Some is just a waste of my money.

1. Concentrated dishwashing soap/liquid. Waste of money. I'm going to give it a 2 second squrit wheither or not it's 3 times concentrated or full of water. So really I'm just wasting my money and putting more phospates into our water by using concentrated dish soap. But where can you find unconcentrated dish soap?

2. Cottonelle Toliet paper. Yes, I like how this feels on my backside, but I always use 4 squares minimun, and you only need 2 with Cottonelle, so again I'm wasting and helping to chop down more trees. Goodthing I saved a few in college. I'm using them all up now.

Some items are TOTALLY worth the price.

1. BareMinerals. The makeup so pure you can sleep it in. And I do. Everynight. I do have doubts as to weither or not it stays on my skin that long, but now I can sleep guilt free and blame my zips on my job.

2. Fibersure. This is the fiber powder you can add to anything you eat. It's great becuase you can up the fiber in something and there by lower the points if you're on Weight Watchers. So by all means this is worth the trillion dollars that it costs. However, you'll need Cottonelle.

Friday night went to a Benifit Comedy show. It was hillarious. Afterword, Amy was dropping me off at my house and she got pulled over by a cop becuase her lights weren't on. I though it was hillaious and praciticed my skills flirting with cops. Needless to say, she did not get a ticket.

Saturday I called my friend Julie and asked her if she wanted to come over and bake. Somehow it turned into her entire apartment building coming over to my house along with Amy and Randy. SO MUCH FUN.

Sunday -- Church with Amy and Randy. Dishes with Julie and Randy. Work for JDRF alone. :(
