April Showers Bring, Like, Treats and Stuff

 i didnt actually make too many things this month. i made another carrot cake cheesecake, and some strawberry oatmeal muffins (no pictures because they did not turn out the fanciest). i got mad at ron yesterday because he got halfmoons from holland farms (this awesome place in utica) cuz he was at his dads, so we went on a late night (well, like 9:30) adventure to wegmans to GET some halfmoons. they were satisfactory. wegmans is awesome, but specialty cookies....halfmoons specifically...what will i ever do when i leave the state? pretty much nowhere else believes in a proper halfmoon cookie OR tomato pie for that matter. its like a utica thing.

i will just have to make my own and cry about it, i guess.

easter has come and gone, as we speak, we are down to 41 days until our annual north carolina trek. i can't wait for that, either. duck donuts can't get here soon enough. or the beach. or anything down there, really. is it bad when you default to your favorite foods and stuff being a motivational factor to go someplace?



look at that. this beast is a thing of beauty. dat cheesecake layer, tho. the frosting kind of makes it, also, but what cake doesn't that apply to?

it is the same recipe that i used from my previous blog, from shugary sweets. super awesome, considering i got to try it this time! i am glad i spent the time to remake it!

in other news, ron and i got to hit up painting with a twist! one of those paint night things, for those unfamiliar. it was pretty fun. they did a star wars night, we loaned them our darth vader costume from work, and they gave us a couple tickets to come to the event! apparently my painting was so cool, they offered me a part time job over there ☺ considering it! i miss painting and doing art in general.




everyones costumes were super great, the whole night was really fun. ron even had "more fun than he thought he would." next time i may consider either a- bringing wine, or b- getting a slushie or beverage while there.

i mentioned it last time, but i finally went through and did it. i had a new friend help me remove the color from my hair, and brought back the rainbow. i really did miss it a lot. the red and orange is like my favorite part. purple is awesome too, but just something about the vibrancy of those warm colors. i will upkeep this for a while.

it is not often you see a rainbow.

work has been pretty uneventful itself as of lately, other than our dr who trivia we had on saturday. i guess there were two other conventions going on which drew away people. i am trying to get access to our store's facebook page so i can freely post more and interact with people, and with any luck, have more cool events.

the only other exciting thing was with starbucks, they had a unicorn frappucino for a limited time, which kristen and i went to three different starbucks to get said frappucino. it was quite magnificent. they also came out with a parrot cake pop, which, bird, i had to buy it.




magical unicorn hair needs a magical unicorn frappucino. and of the few people we had at our event, someone built a fully functioning k-9 unit from the show. he was pretty awesome.


lastly, i will probably be transplanting my garden into a slightly bigger home this week. they are getting quite tall and tangled in their starter pods. the second batch of tomatoes took off pretty well compared to the first, and my cilantro finally decided to grow! it only took like 4 weeks.  i hope transplanting them doesnt kill them, too. they've made it this far. it is so interesting and exciting to watch them every day. the basil is starting to smell like basil, too!

for now, i will call this a post. keep checking instagram, my social media home, as i post there quite often (must not be offended by cursing, because its what i do). i will leave this picture of punk ass here, in his new home, since he loves to steal what little body heat i have and try to burrow in my hair. have a good week! thanks for reading! ☺
