Lots of Cakes and Snowy Days

don't walk away. come and visit my blog!

just gotta say, i feel like noone reads this stuff, and i'm pretty sure 95% of the page views are from me checking to see if everything is where i want it.

whatever. i'm gonna keep posting anyway. maybe someday someone will read about my baking and adventures.

speaking of adventures, how about that blizzard we got?!? i would almost say that i have never shoveled so much snow in my life, but that is a lie. i did shovel quite a bit today though. my back hurts. (#oldlady)

i got called out of work, and then called into other work, where i didn't even get a full shift because we closed early. ehh, at least some hours are better than no hours. i can't take not working at all. at least it feels like i'm not working at all. these full days off are pretty bad for me. i get lazy, i get over tired because my body is trying to catch up with any rest or sleep, i bake too many things, laziness....

hopefully things will get better. hopefully being the key word there.

look at all the snow! as much as i complain about it, when it is fresh like this, it is still pretty.

not to mention, look at these pine trees. when they get the heavy snow on them like this, it makes me think of the grinch. not the real people version, the good one, from like the 80's or something, from dr. seuss. you know what i'm talking about right? ah, the good old days. (#iamold)

the sky was really weird when i was heading home, too. it was like the sun was trying to get out, but it failed at it's last attempt for the day, since after this picture, it got dark. i had ventured to wegmans to get more butter for some cakes. driving was awful everywhere. for some reason, it felt as though someone had plowed thousands of tiny speed bumps into the road. my poor car was vibrating everywhere we went. frustrating! just when i thought i could be rid of the terrible roadways for the night, i got home and found out i left my phone at the register at wegmans, so i had to drive all the way back. i am just glad nobody stole my phone. (#oldpeopleproblems)

i don't even know why i do these stupid hashtags, i don't have a twitter, maybe i just wanna be cool like everyone else, or maybe it's kind of funny and dumb so maybe i want to be dumb like everyone else?? i dunno. imma just keep talking about the weather and post some more pictures. don't worry, there's some cake at the end.

the snow in my driveway was touching the bottom of my car when i finally got home. that is considering i shoveled this morning to get out of my garage. if i hadn't, it would have been past the middle of my tire, over the bumper, and i probably would not have been in my driveway at this point. it's funny, because yesterday it was absolutely beautiful, 50 degrees, sunny, a light breeze....and within 24 hours, we have this. i keep telling you the weather here in upstate new york is bipolar, and i mean it. *insert mythbusters "confirmed" stamp of approval here*

i probably don't have to say it again, but i'm going to anyway. for people who expect the roads to suck, you should know how to drive in it by now. the number of idiots in accidents or almost accidents astounds me no matter how many times i leave the house on a day like today. i don't think there are enough "derps" in the english language to explain the people on the roads in bad weather. "oh, well my steering wheel is turned right, but my car is going left, and when i hit the brakes my car spins out of control into oncoming traffic. that's how it's supposed to work, right?" or how about the huge trucks and suv's that think they own the road? then a mile down the road they end up in a ditch because they obviously don't own anything? oh, that's the best.

 wanna know what's even better? cake.

look at how fun the marble is. i don't know why, i just really liked how the swirls turned out. the ones on the right are serving a different purpose, and are also not marbled (the marble on the little one kind of got sucked into the middle in the baking process, so looking at the top, you can't really tell anymore, hence why i say that).

got a little first birthday party on monday, so i got to work around works for the next few days to get ready for that. it shouldn't take long, but i feel like any time i have to work around double days (work 1 in the am, then work 2 in the pm) i get too tired and demotivated. i tell myself, i can work on that for an hour before bed, then end up passing out early instead, or cleaning something. i still have to get all this packing done in 2 weeks. anyway, hopefully these cakes will go over easy and they will get completed in time.

look at this crazy ass! she seriously does want to take my place as wife. (that is my side of the bed.)

speaking of bed, it is really late. i am going to wrap this up, wrap my cakes, and wrap myself in some blankets, cuz aside from the snow, it got daaaaamn cold again!

even though i poke around on facebook, i still don't use it as much as i check this. leave me some nice comments and motivation or something. i'll need it to force through moving again!

blah. bedtime. thanks for reading!
