Quick Cake Pictures- Not Much This Week

man, you would think after two years of doing this i might have some kind of schedule or something. i mean, i guess i did for a little while, but meh. things happen, i guess.

136 days. it can't go by fast enough. by then, i will be getting ready to leave, go for a 12 hour drive, and end up on the sunny shores of the outer banks. that is much nicer to think about than the dismal grey skies we have here, currently: 36 degrees and rainy. i would even take the current thunderstorms in kitty hawk, considering it's 64 there. that's like a 30 degree difference, people. less layers. more happy. someday i will get out of here and live far away from here.

of course, maybe it's just because i've been at work too much. these weeks where i can't escape even for 24 hours are making me unbelievably irritable. i don't want anything to do with anything. ever.

so here is the cake i made for a second birthday over the weekend. nothing super fancy, but hopefully something to make a kid who likes tractors happy! it is just a basic vanilla cake, with vanilla colored frosting.

i piped some little dots and a (very uneven) yellow stripe along the sides to offset the green. i think it came out pretty good.

about the only other new thing going on aside from being at work all the time, we got satch a new cage with the tax money we got back. my poor boy got dumped on the ground twice in a month by these asshole cats, so he now has a fortress that (with any luck) will not tip over. ron was home both times, and the second time, kairi and nubs went with him. they are all doing okay though. satch is pretty confused with his new house though, i mean, he basically had a stroke in 2006, and his cage has been unchanged for 10 years. i hope he will be okay with it soon though. in the mean time, he gets whatever he wants. (not that it's much different than usual ☺)

oh! sometime around (before? after? i don't remember) the cake, i made this little batch of cinnamon rolls for breakfast! i found this on pinterest from dessert for two (small batch cinnamon rolls for two) a while ago. they actially don't require any yeast which is nice, and means you don't have to wait.

they had almost a biscuit like texture to them. it was different than normal cinnamon rolls, but they were pretty tasty. the cream cheese frosting is a must though! i am a firm believer of that for any type of cinnamon roll. maple icing is a close second. one of these mornings, though, i will have to make a batch of real ones. or maybe those red velvet nutella rolls.....damn. i am such a fat kid about food.

anyway. i leave you with these pictures for now. here is satch's new fortress, accompanied by crazy bird lady and cosmo, and below is assface lounging around in the window yesterday when it was sunny for like 10 minutes.

have a good week/weekend! thanks for reading! ♥

it's not easy being a dick.

Busy Month

honestly, i can't even remember what treats i have to post. i will as i upload the pictures in a minute. and now, i don't even get the day off today. cooool.

okay, let's see what i got.

oh yeah. so i made chicken soup earlier this month (god, it sounds like it was forever ago, its only the 16th). like, from scratch soup, boiled a chicken, the veggies, etc, and it took like 6 hours. it was pretty easy considering there isn't much to do other than wait, here is the recipe for those who want to try it out.

you can only eat homemade chicken noodle soup with egg noodles, otherwise i call blasphemy. i didn't make the egg noodles, that would have been waaaaayyy too much effort. i also made more roasted veggie burritoes that day.

today is just going to be a picture show day, since i don't really have too much, and haven't had a ton of time on my hands. all this last minute stuff, you know?

ron and i had to have our valentines day on the thursday before, since his boss is a terrible human being, dead set on having a whole weekend off (not that she works any other time of the week at all). but in the end, he was able to get a half day on sunday at least.

i made him some chocolate covered strawberries and oranges, and some chocolate covered potato chips. that lack of time thing (and money) kind of prevented anything else, but he liked them at least. (i am seriously going to take off the whole next month that is available to take off.)

we had a good day thursday though. we had a bunch of gift cards to get food, and we were going to go to each place, but even after walking around for 3 hours at the auto expo, we couldn't eat anymore food. we got lunch at the coppertop in cicero, went to the auto expo, then got dessert at cheesecake factory (and mac n cheese balls, because you have to.) we still have a gift certificate to melting pot, but i guess that will be another day, once we get caught up on things.

he got me a dragonfly bracelet from the mall, and we also went bowling. saturday we both worked. i had to work a double, but because the weather was bad i got sent home early. sunday we had a my work movie night, and went to see deadpool.

it was pretty awesome, minus the headache i got. excuse to see it again! i cleaned and stuff during the day, and made dinner/lunch for us before we went out to meet everyone. including these little lava cakes....

hooray chocolate!

(whipped the heavy cream by hand too. take that.)

well now. i have to go to work in oswego. it is going to be a long day, but at least i get tomorrow off. i think. i totally want to sit at home and have another s'mores dip movie day.

have a good week! ☺
