i'm just the quiet one

Unfortunately, I'm still injured. Boo! My leg has been giving me a lot of trouble and is still swollen so I haven't been able to run in a couple weeks. However, I'm still going to San Francisco in October and still need to raise money to meet my goal!

If you know anyone who might be interested in making a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, please pass on my link:

My dead line for fund raising is September 30, so act now! :-)

Thanks so much to everyone who's already donated!

- Student loan
- Health insurance
- Magazine subscriptions
- Netflix
- Mail forwarding at post office

Am I missing anything?

Parakeets for adoption.

I put my parakeets up for adoption today.

Anyone want two really cute parakeets?

I knew that when I moved I would have to give them up. And I know it's better for them because I'm going to be super busy with working, classes, and volunteering.

I still cried when I got the first email.

Smurf cupcakes.

I'm sure a lot of you have seen these on facebook, but here they are again.

I made these for Kaylaraine, they're vegan chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting (also vegan).

July 4th Cupcake burger baskets

Inspired by Bakerella. Vanilla cupcakes, brownie "burgers", cream cheese icing acting as lettuce/ketchup/mustard (or cheese, depending on who you ask). Sugar cookie fries.

I made the baskets, tissue paper, and fry holders myself.

I was really jumping up and down and giggling like a little girl when I was making these. So fun! And they were a big hit at the july 4th bbq. I did 24 but didn't get a picture of them all assembled.

Here's a picture of the rest of the burgers lined up:

Easter Garden Cake

My Mom and I made this one on Saturday for Easter lunch yesterday. Got the idea from Martha Stewart.

Everything is edible except the ribbon. Spice cake on the inside. It was a big hit at dinner, everyone was taking pics.

Who wants to bleed with me?

I'm going to donate blood tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. at the E street donor center if anyone feels like getting up bright and early to go with me.

Cake topper.

I'm making a 3 tiered cake for my brother and sister-in-laws vow renewal this weekend. I've spent the past two days making the topper for it. Here it is.

It's going to go on top of an aqua cake with a brown fondant ribbon around each layer. I'm really pleased with it.

Babies.

Stories like this are why I can never have a baby.

Oh my god. I think I'm permanently traumatized.

It was almost enough to make me have a panic attack just reading it.

HOW do you people do it?

Quickie

* I just passed the $1000 mark for my TNT fund raising!! Woo!! (A lot of it is in checks/cash that don't show up on the site yet)

* I somehow twisted my ankle yesterday and it's sore/swollen today. I'm icing/elevating today, hopefully I can run tomorrow, if not then at least by the weekend.

* I'm going to deliver GS Cookies to HH tomorrow. Let me know if you'll be there. I promise this time I won't forget them.

Girl Scout Cookies

If you ordered cookies please let me know if you will be at happy hour tomorrow so I know which orders to bring.

I need to know by tonight so I can gather the goods.

If you're not coming, let's coordinate a pick up schedule.

(no subject)

I need your creativity.

I'm going to be selling cupcakes for my team in training fund raising goal. I need a name for this endeavor. I was thinking "cupcakes for a cause" but that's in use by Duncan Hines it seems.

Treats for the Team?
Training for Treats?
Eat Cupcakes, Cure Cancer?

Suggestions?

Public Service Announcement

Watching the Daily Show while running may cause you to giggle, trip over the treadmill, and faceplant into the display.

I don't recommend it.

Laughter is dangerous.

Writer's Block: Bird by Bird

It's National Bird Day in the U.S. Do you think it's cruel to keep birds in cage where they can't fly freely or flock with others of their kind?

View 500 Answers

First of all, my birds fly freely and flock with others of their kind.

Secondly, why is it any more cruel to keep a bird in a cage than it is to keep a cat in an apartment?

Also, parrots who are bred and raised by humans are just as happily bonded to humans as they would be to other birds if they were raised in the wild.

This is just a stupid and annoying question.
