The GOOD stuff!

Life is very short.

Eat donuts.
Eat FRESH donuts.
Then look around.
Reach out.  And eat one more.
& whatever you do....don't count any of the calories.
No one needs to know.
One last thing... be thankful for every single bite.

TGIF!
Have a beautiful weekend!

If this doesn't scream...

Hark the Herald!
Joy to the world!
Fla la la la la!
Jingle all the way!
or
HO HO HO and a bottle of RUM!
I don't know what the hell does.

HELLO CHOCOLATE SEASON! Come give Mumma a smooch.
Welcome once again.
Extra 10 15lbs!
Chocoholic complexion!
Sweet cravings galore!
And guilt free binges!

Let the sugar hangover follow... but not until I pass around (and snarf back) my favorite treat of the holidays.... TURTLES!

In between renos and phone calls and naps and a hard core game of tidy/retidy/make mess/tidy/retidy Andrew and I whipped up a batch of turtles this afternoon.

It was a tradition my step Grama kept.  The lady didn't smile all that much but Grama made a kick arse batch of turtles!  I never held back. EVER! I ate them by the handful.
I'm keeping that tradition going.  It may be selfish.  It may not.  But Mumma is keepin this one alive!

And this post can't go without mentioning... the famous Sandra/Turtle hiding story.
*** cue sarcastic voice***
Wayyyyyy back when my Mom gave me a box of turtles to hide so she would not eat them before the holiday (see, I come by the love honestly).
Christmas Day rolled around.
"Sandra, please go get those turtles I asked you to hide!"
OMG!!!
Yup
I ate the entire box the week before.  By myself.  And I couldn't even blame it on brother.
That Christmas, everyone (except MOI) went without turtles.
Du-oh!

So now I make my own turtles, eat them all if I want and no one needs to know.

Mmmmmm I love turtles!
Cha cha cha...

** a quick batch of toffee (basically butter, corn syrup & cream)
** melted chocolate in a double boiler
** and a fresh bag of pecans and VOILA!
Sweet Jesus!

Happy Holidays!!
Enjoy them guilt-free.  Life is very short!

Cupcakes Galore!

While Andrew has "nappies" I allow myself the time to sit at my computer and do whatever I WANT TO DO for most of the nap.  I get lost in all kinds of blogs.
Today was a tough one as the wee Bean was fussy for 25 mins before finding snoozeville.  Scanning blogs helps me occupy my mind and let him find his own comfy sleep spot, something that is really really hard for me to do and not go in for cuddles.  Does this ever get easier?

Today I found an amazing CUPCAKE site.  Delic!
If you are like me and LOVE LOVE LOVE cupcakes and really LUV to bake, you'll be sure to check it out and give a few of the out of the ordinary ones a try... I'm going to start today with cupcake #4!  YUM!

This site had some really neat ideas and is worth checking out.
