On Saturday morning I was greeted with this beautiful care package from the ever fabulous LeendaDLL.
Obviously, LeendaDLL knows everything that is important to me in life: greeting cards with cupakes and cute dogs; Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing (in cups, and in a bottle); Girl Scout Cookies in both Thin Mint and Peanut Butter flavors and Lucky Charms for Iain. (I've also been sharing my cookies with him. And the Ranch. I'm not that selfish.)
And let us not forget...
Cupcake magnets.
LeendaDLL, you made my day, my weekend, and quite possibly my whole month. Thank you so much! Goodies from the UK will be on their way to you shortly!
Every time I dip a slice of pizza into a Ranch Cup, retrieve a Thin Mint from the freezer, and smell Lucky Charms on Iain's breath, I'll think of you.
If you're looking for something to bake for your other half this Valentine's Day, or are just looking for something to stuff your face with while you *ugly cry* about being single...I'm your gal! Or rather, I spent shit loads of time searching for recipes and creating this nifty cupcake collage for you, so you don't have to!
Kzinti sent me a link to a fabulous recipe for red velvet cupcakes, and then I went nuts and starting searching for as many as I could find, so, here ye be.
1. "Red Velvet Cupcakes" from Eat Yet?
2. "I am a Southern Belle" from Cream Puffs in Venice
3. "Have Your Roses and Eat Them Too" from Bakerella
4. "Red Velvet Cupcakes" from Recipe Girl (thanks Kzinti!)
5. "Redrum for Stephen King" from YumSugar
Number five would have to be my favorite, as despite it obviously not being meant for Valentine's Day, but rather for Stephen King's birthday, it just seems to perfectly sum up my feelings toward this ridiculous holiday. (That I have full intentions of probably, most likely celebrating and enjoying...but with the utmost contempt...if that's possible.)
Enjoy!
If you noticed it was a little bit chilly this past Sunday it wasn't because of Global Warming. It was not the icy breath of Jesus on your neck because, once again, you sat in bed eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch in bed instead of going to church.
It was because Hell froze over a little bit because I BAKED. Yes. Tis true. After a year and and 17 days of me being CupCate (dot vox dot com) I have just NOW gathered up the courage to bake.
All that swirling got really stressful, so I had to make a drink.
...And then go BUY SOME OF HER FABULOUS FURNITURE.
I died laughing while reading this article, hopefully you will, too!
Be back soon with the story of how I was almost refused service at the post office for being too "factitious". Seriously.
I'm not usually such a photo whore, but some things just need sharing, posting, and voxing.
The other morning I received a lovely gift from my fabulous online lover pal LeendaDLL, who not only created this wonderful Tshirt, but was gracious enough to send a couple across the pond for me!
Thank you Leeeeeenda, and MelMega for the suggesting this brilliant idea!
Iain and my Mom teamed up to find me the glorious cupcake slippers from Old Navy. They're perfect for sliding around on hardwood floors to "Sexyback".
I have yet to take them off. I even wear them in the bath.
My sister completely spoiled me, and sent me what I like to call "Carrie Bradshaw Ruby Slippers". I would actually never spend the money or have the balls to buy these for myself, so hats off to my sister for getting me out of my cowboy boots.
These will actually match my wedding dress -which YES I will post a picture of soon- so I guess they'll my "Something New" or perhaps my "Something Shiny".
As far as my "Something Old" goes; if the gigantic zit that I begged Iain to photo shop out of the above pictures festers on my face for a couple more weeks, I suppose that will suffice...
And for the final installment of my photo whore excursion, behold the Anne Taintor-esque masterpiece that the ever handsome Iain concocted.
