Random Question Time!

So here's a cupcake-related question for ya.

I've done white chocolate cupcakes with pomegranate cream cheese frosting. And white chocolate cupcakes with lemon frosting.

What else sounds good with white chocolate? Caramel? Coffee? More white chocolate? Suggestions, please. And to make it easier, here's a poll for ya. Just point and click. (Although this is apparently a difficult concept since I had 18 views but only 2 votes on my last poll. Hmm.)

What kind of frosting for a white chocolate cupcake?

• white chocolate
• caramel
• coffee
• other, leave a comment

P.S. - If you've seen the recipe floating around the interwebs for microwave cake/coffee mug cake/chocolate mug cake... RUN. DON'T DO IT. PMS and a lack of baked goods in the house made me try it last night. It was so many kinds of wrong.

Oh Hai

I totally forgot to make a wish list, didn't I?

Honestly, it's a lot of work. Especially if I'm not feeling inspired. Which I wasn't yesterday. So that may not happen weekly. Things just happen that way sometimes.

Wanna hear a little about camping? Of course you do!

Loved the camp site. It's right next to the creek where we fished. It was a short hike up to some rocks and pools with a little waterfall. Good for more fishing (and swimming if you like ICE COLD water). Tad of course wanted to sleep in our tent (of course we let him).

The not-so-good? Let's start with my NINE mosquito bites. Including one on my FOREHEAD. Yup, it's attractive. I'll be wearing a hat around in public for a few days. Then my brother-in-law (who came up to drop off our oldest nephew) saw a mountain lion and cub on his way up Monday night. Greeeeat. Four children under the age of 10? Hubby carried a gun on the hike and the kids stuck to sissy and me like glue.

Notes for next time: don't believe hubby when he says it probably won't be cold. If we don't bring the air mattress, DEFINITELY bring some foam pads. Bathe in bug spray.

Happy Wednesday!

5 Things

Eventually I may switch it up on Tuesdays. But making lists is so easy. Almost as easy as picking a picture every Friday. So maybe one day it'll change, but we'll see.

So this week I'm up in the mountains. Woohoo! Actually we're coming back later today. But even one night away is pretty awesome. And in honor of that...

5 Things I Love About Camping

1. S'mores. Seriously, who doesn't love s'mores? Terrorists. That's who.
2. Campfires. I'm a bit of a pyro for campfires. Plus, campfires + marshmallows = s'mores.
3. Stars. You just can't see them that great in the city. But up there... wow.
4. People. Or lack thereof. I'm generally NOT a people person. Depending on where we camp, you really don't run into many people. Yay!
5. Time. There's no internets. No cell phone reception. No work. No house cleaning. I tend to fly through books when we're up in the mountains because I CAN.

So I'll be back later friends. Happy Tuesday. Try not to be jealous of my wildery adventures.

Monday Coolness

Happy Monday! Have y'all recovered from your weekend yet? I'm off to go camping today. Only for a night, but hey, it's still camping!

Today I give you some goodness from last week.




Yup, BSB baby. :) It was pretty awesome when EVERYONE was singing along. Sorry the camera work wasn't the best. I was a little excited to be there in the first place.

Friday Photo. BSB Edition.

So holy cow. It was amazing. Kay and I had the BEST time. I would go see them again in a second. We screamed more than freaky Twilight fans. And sang loudly. And danced. And it was the best trip to our past EVER.


This would be us afterwards. You can spot some of the glitter on my arm holding the camera. I looked like a freakin' sparkly vampire. That would be a result of our amazing shirts...

Kayla hearts Brian...

And I pink sparkly heart A.J. Always have. I had a serious thing for bad boys in high school.

Then there was the awesomeness of the backs. That's right, they say "BSB 4 eva."

Are you jealous? Because some people definitely were. We pretty much felt like rockstars with all the people lusting after our shirts. Some girls two rows behind us even asked to take a picture with us. Because they love Brian and A.J. too. And were in love with our shirts.

How could they not be? I think we did a pretty fantastic job. Best handmade shirts there.

Okay, so slight misread on the tickets, lol. Not tenth row. Tenth row in one of the floor sections. But not bad at all. Here's a view.

And here's the view with my zoom. *swoon* Now if you're wondering why there are only four guys instead of five, Kevin left a few years ago. But the remaining four are still fabulous.

The boys still dance. And their dancing still makes the girls scream.

I was entirely too giddy to see A.J. A LOT of my pics are centered on him, lol.

And the entire show was super fun. They opened with "Everybody" and I may have screamed like I was dying. (There's video, but I'm debating if it's too embarrassing to put up here.) Everyone sang along to everything (some of us didn't know the new stuff, but some definitely did). They had to have felt the love. Kayla and I even spotted a dude rocking out. Like, singing and doing some serious dancing. It was pretty amusing.

So today I'm feeling a renewed love for the BSB. And will likely be playing CDs in my sewing room for a long while.

I kinda want to put one of my old posters up too. Not gonna lie.

Friiiidaaay

Hey guys, so Friday Photo is definitely coming, but first I have to upload pics from last night. :)

So to tide you over a little (or completely if you don't care to hear about how amazing BSB was), have a new favorite commercial.





SWAN DIVE!

Happy Friday, I'll be back with pictures and much girlish nonsense.

Guess What???

So if you've followed my Twitter at all, you know that I've been keeping a secret. I've been sitting on it since Saturday and I am absolutely DYING to tell you.

So are you ready?

Please understand that if you were withing a mile of me right now you would probably have heard me scream this several times over the past few days...

I'M GOING TO SEE THE BACKSTREET BOYS TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

The freakin' Backstreet Boys! I knew they were coming a few months ago, but I also knew that the funds were not in the best situation. So as much as it killed me, I accepted the fact that I would not be going to watch the band I was obsessed with in high school.

Then last week I got an email. And it was like the heavens opened up and angels sang and everything was sparkly rainbows.

Tickets were on sale for ten bucks.

I expected these to be crappy seats, but I said to myself, "DUDE. Your favorite band from your teenage years. The boys you squealed over. The guys who sing those songs you STILL know by heart. Who cares about where the seats are, DO IT." So I checked out the seating situation. You know what turned up?

EFFING. FLOOR. SEATS.

Floor seats. Ten bucks. Backstreet Boys. I may or may not have set off barking dogs with the squeals and such that followed. I texted my dear cousin who I knew would be on board. And we got tickets.

Yes. Kayla and I will be screaming and singing and sporting our glittery homemade shirts from the tenth row at the concert tonight. There will be pictures. And probably video. And much swooning. Because I have spent the days since purchasing tickets listening to their music again. And feeling like a giddy high school girl (much to the dismay of hubby).

And just in case you feel like squealing and reliving a bit of your past, here's a playlist for ya. I have to go attempt to calm myself. Because I am bouncing off the walls with excitement right now.
