tea and coffee equals many bathroom trips

So I am still kind of sick. Got a icky cold and a school induced headache. I have pretty much got it covered, but It is just a fussy thing that is happening with my trying to sign up for my next year classes.
Anyways, into a more interesting and joyful topic of discussion. I called my cousin and she didn't pick up. *tear* I am utterly alone. haha. I'm kidding. I just like to hear her voice, even though she sounds like shes about to cry whenever I talk to her on the phone. It's her phone voice. My phone voice is a little humiliating. I get made fun of for it by my family. Apparently I sweeten up like a jar of honey when I answer the phone. I get a higher tone and sweeter manner. I can't help that I am so damn polite. haha.
My boys birthday was okay besides him being sick for some of it. He pulled through and by Sunday seemed to be doing loads better.
Whenever I have a day off I make my coffee as usual, but since I'm staying home I end up having three or four cups. By two o'clock I am jittery and dancing to annoying pop music. It's pretty scary and I am glad that I have all elderly neighbors and that its too cold for them to be out, so that no one saw my imitation of Rhianna's "Umbrella" in the living room.
That is all

here they are!

YUMMY! They are gone now but I am going to make more tomorrow:)

Here is a picture of a mug I got at a thrift store in Eureka, SD.

It's really pretty! Well thats all. I just wanted to post my cupcakes of wonder.

i forgot the pictures

OK the cupcake pictures are on my computer at home. So next time promise they will be up. Gosh I'm a loser, I am just so certain that my cupcakes were so amazing that people need to see pictures of them to feel whole.
Anyways, work was absolutely nuts this weekend. All the crazies were in on Saturday. It really pisses me off when rich people complain about the prices at a secondhand store. The people who are less fortunate are never the ones complaining. It's the damn rich snobs that don't want to spend over a dime for anything, how else are they suppose to stay rich? I will admit the some things are marked higher than others but most people realize how much more expense they would be in the store. That's it for my rant...I don't like saying anything negative about my work, b/c I really do love my job and most of the customers. It's that tiny population of meanies that put a snag in my stocking.
It is snowing today and I almost slipped countless times on the sidewalk. Pretty entertaining if anyone was watching. Hayden looked so cute today! I dressed him in a new shirt I got at work. Growing up so fast! His birthday is this weekend. I'm thinking cake and ice cream. A quiet endeavor this year. Last year I invited all the relatives, cause that's what you do, and everyone showed up. I mean everyone! Like 25 people crammed into my moms house. He made out like a bandit, better that Christmas on his first birthday. I told everyone no toys this year, cause he has more cars than I think the stores even keep in stock. If I took all of Hayden's cars, just the cars, I could give presents to every little boy in North Dakota. That's sad.
Anyways, I have blabbed long enough on here. I should finish my correction on my paper due in two hours.
Oh and Happy St. Patricks Day!
I totally forget until the radio was talking about beer and leprechauns. In some small miracle i wore a green tank top under my shirt:)

exploding cupcakes take 1

So philosophy yesterday was awesome! Very interesting topics that made class eventful. Amanda, my cousin, was upset she missed it.

Well the weather is beautiful! I can't believe the warm sun outside! I must be excited because I've had to backtrack on spelling a billion times already. Anyways, I made strawberry cupcakes last night, they are freaking amazing little gems. I should have taken a picture, darn. I'll have one up here tomorrow or something, for dramatic effect:) hehe. Hayden saw me bring some along for school this morning and was like, "bite". It was funny until he screamed "BITE", and so then I gave him one. Whats a little treat now and then? I usually hate when parents shut there kids up with treats, but i made an exception this morning.

I am apparently going to be a board member now in the local fund raiser club I am in. Basically I do the same thing I already do, which is show up and help out. I basically do whatever my mom does because I am still trying to figure out how to have a voice among the somewhat intimidating women (all very wonderful though).

Anyways I guess that is all the info I have today. Enjoy the sunshine and get some coffee. That sounds perfect right now. Just remember to tip your baristas! (i think thats the right term?)

five minute update

I have a couple minutes for a brief update. I added a playlist on the bottom of my blog, sorry to anyone that it annoys and cheers to all you who like. I met up with an old friend today and I must say it was grand. My cousin is sick today so I have to go to Philosophy alone today:(

M y nephew got 1st place in the spelling bee, did I already mention that? I cant remember. Hmmm. Anyways I had a nice day. The sun was shining and it wasn't as bitterly cold as it usually is.

My boy Hayden got a haircut yesterday. He screamed like a banshee. By the time they were done there was no one else in the salon. haha. It was awful. I hope hes not scarred for life. For some reason he is afraid of scissors and nail clippers.
I got to go to class.

i should be doing laundry

Haven't updated in a couple of days. Been really sick and now I am finally feeling better. I missed three days of work, which really sucks. Plus I am mad behind on my paper writing...yes i realize I used "mad" like slang. I'm hip. I'm with it. haha. Anyways, I am going to visit my sister-in law and nephew tomorrow evening. My nephew is going to be in the spelling bee, I am so proud and excited. He won last year!

I dont have much to say really, must be the ear ache I have.

Here is a picture of yours truly back in the day when i was a natural blonde and had perfect skin. Also accompining me is a bartman t-shirt and a siamese kitty. My head looks bigger than my body! haha. It's just the picture I swear!

Thats all for know. I am gonna go watch trash tv. I have a scary addiction for Rock of Love....terrible. I wonder if it's on?
