Quick Updates

Wow.

I must apologize for being so lazy as to not update the blog. I have also been super busy, I worked 2 30+ hour weeks 2 days in a row, and I have also have been trying to read a lot

So what's new...

I reread Hunger Games and finished Divergent. If you liked Hunger Games, then you'll like Divergent as well. They're not the same, but they're both about futuristic corrupt governments, and the heroine has to fix the problem. I think everyone should read it. The author is Veronica Roth. The best part? Diveregent is the first book of a trilogy! Love trilogies. I was SO mad yesterday when my UPS box came in the mail and discovered I had accidentally ordered another copy of Divergent instead of Insurgent, the second book. SO MAD. Oh, well. That's a quick Amazon search and BAM, Insurgent is coming in tomorrow's mail! Can't wait. Until then, though, I will continue reading Wicked.

This past Saturday I got to make the cake for my friend's gender revealing party! That means I knew the sex of their baby before anyone! It was SO exciting! (And REALLY hard to keep that secret, lol). Even though my frosting gave me some crazy grief, I managed to make a really cute cake (with a pink filling, it's a girl! Congrats Canaan and Jillian!) and some cupcakes, too. I swirled the pink and blue frosting on the cupcakes. I recently found a blog that showed a different way than the technique I used to swirl the frosting, so one of my upcoming posts will be comparing the two techniques to see which way is easier!

The weather here the past 2 days has been amazing! Yesterday it poured all day, Matt and I walked Jack in the evening right after it finished raining. It was still warm and humid, around 75 degrees, but hey, I'll take that over 110 any day. It was still pouring this morning, THANK GOODNESS, because when I got home from work at one thirty, I was able to take the hyper dog for a walk. It's still really humid, though, so any decent sized puddle he found became a quick cool off bath. But he met a new friend on our way home! My friend Bethany (who I haven't seen in a long time!) was just coming home from work, so I let Jack meet her puppy. He was all bark at first through the fence, but after awhile Jack calmed down and even played a little bit with him. Jack was tired already, though, so he mostly ignored Dalton after awhile. He is now passed out on the floor, so I'm getting some nice alone time after work. I love my dog, but after a long day at work, sometimes I just don't want to deal with a hyper dog. I would take him for way more walks, like I was doing in the winter/spring, but it's so hot outside right now I can't be outside for long. Boo.

Man I need more coffee. But that's nothing new I guess.

Oh... Paula Deen just made a potato casserole that looks REALLY BAD FOR ME. But oh so good.

Ok, I really need more coffee. And Matt just came home! See you!
