A Little Slice of Heaven and Hell

 

ohhh yeahhh. check out that slice of cake.

you like that? well you can't have it. its my slice of cake.

i would gladly share the rest of it with you though! it is huge. there is still a half of cake left, and that's after i shared it with whatever co-workers wanted some. i ate a piece for breakfast two days in a row. probably not the best idea ever, but whatever. i think i deserve it, and have every right to that, with it being birthday week.

everything went alright, had a pretty good day. i actually didn't even eat my cake until friday. i went to cheesecake factory on thursday, since my birthday happens to fall on the best holiday of the entire existence ever....national cheesecake day! well, technically its the day before my birthday, but they usually extend it to the day after, so it might as well be national cheesecake day part two. not complaining at all. they have a new flavor every year as well, and this year it was lemon meringue pie cheesecake. ohhh my goodness. so good.

aside from treating myself to cheesecake, i got more tea! and tea accessories!

 i have said it before. i super love tea. i firmly believe you can never have enough tea. ever. especially if it is super delicious, and awesome all over the place....which in my book, is mostly everything.

my friend heather got me two new flavors of herbal tea from teavanna: balsamic raspberry lime twist and caramel almond amaretti. i have had two cups of the caramel almond one already...coincidentally for breakfast the last two days while i ate my cake. holy crap its awesome. it smells almost like a snickerdoodle cookie or something, and if i could smell like that all the time i would.

the raspberry lime tea i had at the store, and it is gonna make an awesome iced tea. probably one of these next couple mornings i will make some.

i also got a nice tumbler with a tea infuser basket built into it and the perfectea maker from my husband. it's a nice big tea maker that, when you set it on top of the cup or whatever you are making it into, it strains through the bottom instead of pouring things all over and making a mess. they use them in the store to brew tea for customers.

super fancy! like a sir. *pinkies out* *get out your monacle*

i bought myself a comic and new socks, too. new socks are the best feeling ever. pretty much the exact opposite of wet socks, which is the worst feeling ever. i did not know that this series of comics, lenore (the cute little dead girl) was into series two, and they are all the way up to #10! which means i have to find 1-9. and then continue to hunt for the rest of them as they come out. i love roman dirge. if you are not familiar with his work, look him up.

have i ever mentioned that i love when my cats are being tortured, at least by their standards?

i think its absolutely hilarious. they drive me up the wall, so when people come over, like kristen, and snuggle them to the point where they look like this.....it's a good day.

they just sit there and take everything like a couple of little bitches, it is spectacular.

rufio was the lucky asshole to receive all the "love" on thursday. look at his dumb face.

hmm. i am not really sure where else i wanted to go with this. i kind of have a headache, which almost made me not come online and do this, right after i said i was going to start keeping a schedule every sunday and wednesday. blah. i am going to blame it on the weather. it started raining about four hours ago and has been pretty much all night. it is somewhat humid and feels funny all over. i really want to go to sleep, which i probably will after this. maybe even early tonight. hopefully by the time i wake up it will be all gone, and i can carry on almost like a normal person.

if there is such a thing as normal. i mean, i am ready for bed, but i kind of want to go eat some of my cake, but eating before bed is pretty bad, and i wouldn't go to sleep if i did that. i can't sleep on a super full stomach, it's so uncomfortable. i don't and never will understand how people can eat a crap ton of food and then just go to sleep. i can't even really sit still after i eat a lot. i need to get up and move.

and then i look at food some more on pinterest. just to make it better, you know. all of the things i want to make and eat. i love to torture myself like that. look at it again! ohh, i have never been defeated by a dessert. this one came close. there is so much cake, and the ganache...like woah. but i think because it's chocolate and peanut butter it made it awesome, and kind of required me to eat all of it.

this dollar, by the way, was in my register at work. one of my guys taped the note to it for me to find when i opened the store the next day. it's still in the register. i kind of want to see how long it will stay in there before someone gives it away.

i have no idea what to make next. i am thinking about those blueberry muffins, since i should probably make something good for me after all of the pizza, cake, and cheesecake factory i have been putting into my face the last four days. oh, speaking of trying to be good, i signed up for  a 5k marathon! it is the insane inflatable 5k in syracuse! heather and i are on a team, maybe with a few others, on the noon time slot. i just want to play in a giant inflatable obstacle course. i can't run my way out of a paper bag, so i am probably going to die. it will totally be worth it though.

in the mean time, i am going to leave you with this slice of lemon meringue pie cheesecake. it was delicious, and was one of the best birthday cheesecakes i've ever had. even if everyone had to sing to me in order to get it. stop back wednesday, i will hopefully have something to share! thanks for reading!
