Wordless Wednesday: Gidgey Out for a Walk

MIA...

I've been MIA for a long time now...wow, almost all of April and ALL of May! Sadly, I have no excuse...I have just been doing the same old thing. Just working and doing things around the house --okay, sort of doing things around the house.

A few weeks ago I made a big purchase, well, to me it was a big purchase. I don't know about you, but I have a hard time spending a lot of money on myself all at once. $20 here and $15 there is one thing, but for me to go out and spend $300 on myself at once is crazy!

Anywho, I bought myself the most amazing thing ever...

a NookColor!!! 

I love, love, love it!!! 

Since I bought it just over two weeks ago, I have read 6 books...and I'm currently in the middle of reading two more! It is so great! I never even turn the tv on at home anymore. The only time the tv comes on when I'm home, is if my tv addict of a boyfriend is home too : )

Two books that I would suggest to everyone would be:
Homer's Odyssey: A fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat.

and

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who touched the World

...I know, I know, it appears that I am just some crazy cat lady (not saying I'm not just a little), but they really are good books! It is just amazing how animals can touch the hearts of millions and probably not even realize it.

Must Have Monday: Green Tea Edition

I have been thinking about making a green tea cupcake with an orange, passion fruit & jasmine green tea frosting...so, I thought it would only be fitting that today's Must Have Monday would be green tea themed!

Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcakes

I have been big into making cupcakes lately...

I made these spaghetti and meatball cupcakes for April Fools Day.

The people at work LOVED them!

Some of them were even taking photos and sending it to their friends, haha.

My current cupcake adventure is tomato soup cupcakes...

Yes, those two in the front have finger indents in them...I was testing to see if they were done, clearly they were not!

They actually taste kinda like pumpkin pie!!!

They have cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in them so that explains the pumpkin pie taste.

They have not gotten frosted yet because I am letting the flavors of the frosting mesh a little longer.

I made a Chai frosting for on top of them...yum!

Must Have Monday: Cupcakes

Week before last I was a cupcake baking machine for my dad's 60th birthday party, okay only 5 1/2 dozen, but anyway...

It inspired me for this week's Must Have Monday : )
