Saturday Joys

After a weird last three days, its nice to have a day just to myself. I didn't accomplish as much as I would have liked, but when you work all week and are gone from the house for 12 hours, a lazy day is needed.

*Mocha Cupcakes

I made cupcakes for the first time today, can you believe it? I did Vegan mocha cupcakes with buttercream frosting and they are good! I'm surprised I only ate one so far. We'll see what tomorrow brings though ;)

*I have the best Best Friend Ever

He was out of town for an interview and near Whole Foods so I said to him, "If you want to be my favoritest person ever, you should bring me Vegan pizza..." He did too! Of course, pizza aside (which I'm clearly still thinking about), he is a constant blessing in my life. Even when he doesn't know when to stop talking or gets on his political tangents.

*The Avengers

Speaking of friends, one of my best girl friends and I are going to see The Avengers next Friday! She has a newborn and 3 year old, so we don't get to go out a lot and I'm really excited!! MAYBE part of the reason I want to see The Avengers is because of a certain actor (but you didn't hear that from me), but it just looks so awesome! I'm already counting down the days because I'm a dork.

*A Clean House

I spent a good chunk of the day cleaning the house and it feels so nice to have a clean house. Now if only someone won't mess it up..

I'm laughing about the cleaning the house and hoping someone won't mess it up! I get up in the mornings and wonder who were the little imps that partied while I was asleep!!! Your cupcakes sound divine and I'm very impressed that you only ate one!

So that's what happens between night and morning?? I think I'm going to end up taking most of my cupcakes to church tomorrow. I think another 2 and I'll be set for a while :)

Very interesting article. You cover several things well.

my house is far from clean, but I am making some progress to reduce or eliminate on the "hoarder" image

Rebecca P. May 19, 2012, 10:46pm UTC

I'm in the same board. I'm trying to thin out things and I'm better than I used to be.

I come from a long line of pack rats, so it's really hard -- the local thrift shop will be very happy when I deliver the bags and boxes -- the trash guys will not be so happy, since they will have so much more to load onto the truck

I can't believe you have never made cupcakes. Wow. They sound amazing. I am not a big fan of them but every once in awhile they are so good.

Doesn't it stink when you work so hard to clean the house and then someone comes in and messes it up. Happens almost every day around here. Especially when I vacuum the livingroom.

Glad you had some time to relax. Good for you.

Rebecca P. May 19, 2012, 10:45pm UTC

I'm the same way with cupcakes. Nice every now and then, but there are other things I prefer.

My problem is I have a roommate who is VERY messy and disrespectful. She's just been a nightmare. She constantly leaves trash and food crumbs and dirty clothes all over. She thinks we're her maids...so immature.

Risa G. May 19, 2012, 11:47pm UTC

That stiks. I used to have a roomie who was exactly the same. She was also a hoarder but we didn't call it that. Not in those days. Her idea of cleaning up was to throw everything in the closet.

Rebecca P. May 20, 2012, 6:51am UTC

Oh, she's a hoarder too. She has so much stuff too that it spreads into our areas (in front of my door, living room etc). There's just no sense in it.

Nice encapsulation of your Saturday! I would recommend AC LaRocca pizza (among others, like Amy's). The cupcakes sound good too. It's been pretty warm here, but with luck we'll get some cooling rain / storms tonight or early next morning. Thanks for the update!

Rebecca P. May 20, 2012, 6:50am UTC

I haven't heard of AC LaRocca pizza's, though I do love Amy's cheese free pizza. I just wish they weren't so expensive. Hope you got some cooling rain last night!

Those cupcakes sound yummy.

Rebecca P. May 20, 2012, 6:52am UTC

They are pretty good! I have to say it wasn't a bad first experience :)

those cupcake sound good, I never had a vagen cupcake, I had Gluten free one so maybe almost the same

Rebecca P. May 20, 2012, 6:52am UTC

They don't really taste different. The only thing I changed is not using an egg (chia egg), almond milk and vegan butter.

Am doing (the bigger) household chores at the moment as well and often wonder what type of hidden folk like to party whilst am not looking - and then those that didn't invite me..LOL - though seriously, at some point it is rediculous the ease of making something look messy sometimes very messy - geez, think am going nuts or those gremlins really are having a big brother party and testing my patience. LOL Chin up, a clean house makes it even more interesting to come home to...er?! Enjoy your baking I can sense the aroma's just thinking about them neatly sun tanning themselves in that kitchen unit :-) Enjoy the pizza :-) Have not seen the movie yet but am told it is one to look out for - Enjoy!

Rebecca P. May 20, 2012, 6:54am UTC

I love having a clean house and actually I cannot stand a dirty house. Problem is a nightmare roommate who is the biggest slob I've ever met. I'm thinking of doing more baking in the near future. I have some bookmarked recipes to try.
