I had such a busy work-filled weekend planned- I'm SO happy it snowed 28" in my little town. I came home on Friday after work (early, I might add- we dismissed at 3pm!!) and didn't leave again until 10am on Monday morning. This left room for copious amounts of at-home, indoor activities.
1. Did a shit-ton of laundry and rearranged the laundry "system" we have in our bed room/the baby's room. Got one of these bad boys and might get another for a simple baby clothes solution until we move into a larger place (holding my breath for that one...)
2. Made the most DELISHOUSH cup cakes in the world only adding one extra step and ZERO extra ingredients.
- used stand mixer to follow beating direction (not the extra step, the box actually suggests using an electric mixer.)
- while preheating the oven, put an additional pan in with water- let it preheat an additional ten minutes and then stick the pan(s) in with the water so it can steam it some. Two days later- awesomeness is STILL happening. I made cuppie cakes so with the batter left over I made little (but bigger than cup cakes) molten lava (adding choco chips into the batter) cakes in my soup-sized pyrex dishes. WHEW! Talk about adjectives.
I don't like to put on icing...so I just gobbed in on there.
3. PAINTED THE LIVING ROOM! I've been thinking about doing this ever since I painted it last October. I have vaulted ceilings so I went with an olive green ceiling and lighter walls so it would hopefully make the room look a little more quaint and not so HUGE. It didn't. As Todd put it, it looked "sterile." Because I'm afraid of paint, I usually choose a color that's two to five shades too light and this is exactly what happened. Well, my five blog readers, pregnancy has made me a little more gutsy- and I went with a color that resembled milk chocolate...and it looks AWESOME. Thanks to Todd for coming down with flu-like symptoms so he was out of my hair for the three hours it took for me to paint the place and keep the molding clean (he doesn't color in between the lines.)

What else...hmmm. Nothing, I suppose. Oh yea, Hey Lauren, if you read my blog, STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHEN YOUR SHOWER IS BY USING PROCESS OF ELIMINATION...YOU SAID YOU WANTED A SURPRISE SO QUIT IT.
