Menu for 10/12/15-10/18/15

I have absolutely no motivation this week. I don't want to clean or cook or go anywhere. I just want to sit on the couch with the cats and Bailey and watch television (YouTube videos) all day. Why does this happen? What steals my motivation? I'm not sick. I've slept plenty. I'm just feeling incredibly lazy.

I'm generally a lazy person. It takes a significant effort not procrastinate everything and if I'm given any excuse (such as a new YouTube video from my favorite channels) I will never ever do anything useful. My procrastination abilities are the reason that no matter what time I have to be somewhere my hair is always still wet from the shower when I leave the house.

As I stated in a previous post, the cure for being a lazy bum is to drink coffee. Maybe I should make a pot. I do have salted caramel mocha creamer.

Okay, that's it. As soon as I finish typing this I will make a pot of coffee and get to work!

Menu for 10/5/15-10/11/15

Last week was seriously stressful. Between a cake order for Monday and a cupcake order for Friday I hardly had time for anything but baking and then I had to work Saturday morning. I was painfully tired by Saturday night so we skipped the soup and ordered food from Texas Roadhouse (the only time I ever get steak) and Bailey got to try her first bite of steak. I say bite but really she ate half of my 8 oz sirloin. I was glad to share with her. It's always good to find more foods she likes.

Anyway, back to the baking for a second. After my brother's wedding I was asked by several people if I would do some baking for them. My Aunt Mart wanted a pumpkin spice cake to share with her friends at Hardee's. I really didn't mind making it for her. She rarely needs anything complicated and she always buys us breakfast for the trouble.

My more stressful job was the cupcakes. Four dozen in four different flavors with two different frostings and four colors of frosting. They were for a birthday party for some adorable little twin girls.


One half were puppy themed and needed hot pink and turquoise frosting.


The other half were Descendants themed and needed red, royal blue, or purple frosting. I'm not gonna lie, that was 7 hours worth of work but they turned out really beautiful. I just hope the girls enjoyed them.

I did manage to spend my time at work on Saturday making out my menu for this week. Here ya go guys!
