i feel like i need to coat everything in chocolate lately. it should be. and then i'll coat the chocolate in chocolate and eat it with a side of chocolate.
its that kind of week.
i made some microwave brownies on umm.....monday or tuesday or something. i dont really remember. it is the same recipe i used in another post, but i used whole wheat flour, which was either a mistake, or i needed a little more oil for some extra moisture. it tasted like a brownie. it was like brownie crumbs though. i am going to try this again, though. it worked out fine the first time.
or, maybe theyre just not meant for whole wheat flour. i havent decided yet. if i ever stop working so i get a chance to make them again, i'll be sure to let you know.
i am so glad for ramekins though. they really do make my mini projects like this easier than either finding a small bowl, or using mugs. mugs are kind of fun sometimes though. they have a handle. convenience!
i havent baked anything other than these though. up until tuesday night, i did not have a phone. i was living in the 90's. so now, people can actually get ahold of me again. it totally is going to cost me $200, but whatever. at least it is a brand new phone, and not a refurbished one. it took me a couple hours to get all of my email and authenticator stuff back in order, but i think i got it all now. i can actually use blogger on my laptop again!
work is still another story. i kind of want to punch it in the face. they want me to be a super scumbag about things and i cant bring myself to do it. i am still on the lookout for something new. hoping. dreaming.
someday, things will get better.
in the meantime, well, most of the torture is almost over. i should have my girl back this weekend. tomorrow would have been ideal, but i have been called into work, and am now working a double.
here are the last few pictures from the last couple of days. she is almost done! these emails are totally the highlight of my day. i miss her so much.
i still have to talk to the insurance though. i have gotten a bunch of papers and stuff the last few days, and they all say to send it to one place, and then another place, and they need this, that, and the other thing.....there are so many things. i tried to call today, and naturally when my claim guy called me back, i was busy with a customer. i really would like to figure this out tomorrow. work happened though. someone called in sick. maybe saturday. or next week. or someone else will torture me to make me wait some more.
meh.
i have sunday and monday off. i have to work on some cakes though. i have two requests for next week: a pokemon cake, and a 50th birthday with a log cabin air brushed on it. i probably wont have pictures on sunday, but ill see if i can come up with something.
oh, and my phone was photobombed today. kris came to see me with cocoa at work, and it was awesome. i am still wondering how i am not fired yet. aside from numbers. maybe working hard actually does make up for it a little?
....yeah, no. #fired
i can do work at the same time though, i am awesome like that. i re arranged my gift cards and a couple other things.
oh! i got an email for the insane inflatable 5k, it is coming back to syracuse this year! september 26th. i really want to go again. they have new obstacles and stuff. it was seriously the best $50 i spent last year.
did you catch that? a happy thought! actually, there are a few. work just drowns everything out. moving on though....
i just have to keep looking up. i am hoping things will work out eventually. things seem to continuously get me down, especially the last week, and i keep forcing myself to look at the brighter side of things.
valentines day is next week. maybe i'll get to make some epic chocolate treats to share. have i mentioned anything about chocolate lately?
sooo okay. i guess i am kind of rambling now. i will try to have something to share on sunday. i am planning things, but keep losing time. we'll see how things go. have a good weekend, all!
