Crazy delicious!

IrishCarBomb Cupcakes 1/2 way done...

I'm sure you can guess what they are made from but in case you don't know...  1) the cupcake is made with cocoa and Guinness (yummo); 2)  the chocolate ganache contains Jameson Whiskey (delish).  Be jealous...

Completion...

Iced with a frosting of Bailey's Irish Cream...

Now let's recap:
Chocolate + Guinness = yummo
Chocolate + Jameson = yummo
Sugar + Bailey's = yummo

There is no way this could fail.

Weird man at the gym...

I'm at the gym Friday night and Lisa and I had just finished our workout (ended with burpees and totally nailed it) with Trainer Mike (best trainer ever)...when this weird, old, asian man came over to us and was like "running". 

None of us (me, Lisa, and Mike) understood what he was talking about.  Mike thought he wanted him to run.  I, of course, sat down and pretended like I wasn't aware of what was happening.  Obviously, the appropriate response to a weirdo is to ignore them.   

Dude kept talking about running and how this is the best way to lose weight and how we should be running and doing cardio to lose weight.   Poor Mike was like "actually I'm their trainer and the best way to lose weight is a full body workout and they do a lot of cardio on their own".  Dude then proceeded to look at Mike without saying anything (this wasn't awkward at all)... Mike thanked him, and we all walked back to the trainer desk a bit dumbfounded.  The only logical thought was "ancient secret?"  

So thank you weird, old, asian man at the gym for your advice and awkward encounter.   

Klutz indeed...

Yay!  It's Friday!  Get excited :)

I don't know why I'm so pumped about this because everyday this week has been like a Friday since no work for this girl...

My day so far:

I went to the craft store because I am making Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes this weekend for a BBQ tomorrow.  I'm super pumped!  These cupcakes look redunk and can't wait to try.  So of course I had to get cute cupcake wrappers (pink polka dots with orange trim) and fun boxes for delivery.  I mean presentation is everything right?  I guess green would've been better because they're irishy and all but they didn't have any so that might have to wait until next time or St. Patty's day.  If I'm going to start a cupcake biz they've gotta look awesome as well as taste delicious. 

Then I had to run to the grocer.  This is where my misadventure began...So I'm walking through the door with my mini cart (because I hate those big ones) when I stubbed the last two toes on my left foot on the wheel!  It hurt like a biotech but I'm like "oh whatevs I just stubbed a toe no biggy".  (This is what I said to myself in my head not out loud.)  So I'm wandering around the grocer and I go into the beer section because I need a Guiness for my cupcakes and my foot is still throbbing in pain.  I look down and I'm bleeding everywhere!  It's all over my flipflop and all over my foot.  I'm now thinking I probably left a trail all through the store because I didn't realize I was bleeding.  I'm hoping there's no serious crime that occurs there because my DNA is all over that joint!  

This whole beer in the grocery store thing is a whole other issue.  I'm not sure how I feel about buying beer in the grocer.  This might be because I've lived in PA pretty much my entire life.  It's so weird to me to buy alcohol at the grocer.  I'm not saying it's bad but definitely weird.

  

Mini Horses

I saw a woman walking a mini horse across the road today... 

That is all.

Still got it!

So this weekend was a wedding extravaganza for me.  One on Saturday then another one on Sunday.  Saturday was super fun hanging out with some of my dear friends from school that I rarely get to see anymore and Sunday, well that was the crazy family time.

This sweet wedding fun has made me realize that I am too old for all of this fun jampacked into one weekend.  While I still got the goods at the time, (I can drink, goof around, and dance til all hours of the night) my recovery time keeps getting longer.  It's Wednesday now and I still just want to sleep.  I guess this is the price you pay for being a fun time ;)  I must admit, it was totally worth it!

Now I must rest while I watch the end of Howard the Duck...

  

Oh Panera...

I stopped by Panera today for lunch while I was out looking for shoes (which by the way was an epic fail)...As I'm sitting in a booth enjoying my salad, I notice the manager sit down a few tables away to interview some dude for a job...

PLEASE tell me when it became appropriate to interview for a job wearing ridiculously baggy jeans, a dirty t-shirt, sunglasses, and a dirty baseball hat?  The sunglasses and hat remained on this dude's head for the entire interview!  This is seriously inappropriate.

Is this really what we've come too?  Wearing visibly dirty clothes to a job interview?  Not removing your hat or your sunglasses while interviewing?  I think you either a) don't really want the job or b) have no respect for yourself or the job in which you are applying.  Shame on you! 

When did this become acceptable?  You might not necessarily have to wear a suit to an interview, but super huge jeans, a dirty shirt, sunglasses and a hat?  COME ON!  The least you can do is clean up a little bit or remove your hat and sunglasses while you're interviewing for a job. 

I'm just saying...

Blogging Day 1...

I started this blog because I love to write and this seemed to be the logical choice to share my thoughts and opinions with the world.  Trust me.  You'll thank me. 

I don't really have to much to say thus far as I'm not working today and haven't left the house yet to see what's happening in the world.  I am watching the Olympics though, so that's pretty good.

My day so far:
I began my day with a few snoozes of the alarm clock.  And by snoozes I mean I stayed in bed for another hour. 

So then I came downstairs, played with the dogs and made some coffee...now I'm 2 cups in and look at me I'm blogging away. 

Track and Field?  please...the Olympics just got boring. 

Okay,  this has been fun but I should go find a real job and I also need to find shoes.  We all know what the priority is...SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Okay so you asked for it and here it is!  I'mJessSayin' begins today.  You're welcome world...
