Good Hair.

This kid has put the kybosh on plenty of good hair days. Only eight and a half short weeks until Dos makes his/her appearance- and if I'm anything like my sister who delivered an 8+ pound baby three weeks early (it was her second birth, third baby, first were twins) then perhaps Dosie the magical baby will help me get my tresses back to normal a little sooner.

I mean, it's not that bad, but a cowlick in the middle of my bangs? Seriously? I have to tease my bangs to get them into place. Tease them; 1987 called, they're gonna need their Aquanet back.

Oh, yea, then it'll start to fall out.

I need to set a blackberry calendar reminder to start take more Biotin IMMEDIATELY- last time that was deee-scusting. Clumps of hair.

Don't worry, I'M REMINDING MYSELF DAILY HOW MUCH EASIER AN INSIDE BABY IS TO TO CARE FOR THAN AN OUTSIDE BABY...but I'm still looking forward to have the option to go planking if I so choose.

Since I'm having a nice hair day, or at least, not a bad one, I thought I'd freeze the moment in time for all of your viewing pleasures. It looked awesome in the bathroom with the beauty of florescent lighting- got to the office with the natural light and the webcam- not quiet as good...but not terrible.


SEE!? Not terrible!

And here are some pics I need to get off ma'telephone:

Decided to wear shoes that don't match when I have the chance. No one noticed. 

 Bought and made cake pops...because I like my kitchen gadgets to ONLY be able to do one thing. 

Directions said:
1. Make cake batter with no water, + 1 egg (btdubs- I might do this all the time. It was bangin'.

2. Get some Styrofoam to allow for "easy" decorating. Note to reader- the word "easy" is directly proportional to how many times you've practiced decorating cake pops. Since I've decorated with melted chocolate zero times, on a one to ten scale of difficulty with one being a cinch and ten being the equivalent of climbing from the depths of hell, I'd say it was a twelve.

No Styrofoam meant improvisation. 

Egg carton:

Cut holes with GIANT razor blade:


3. Preheat oven and put that shit in there for like half hour, take it out and put it on the stove-top to cool slow like... 

...POW!


What happened was magical- you might see an overflow of baked-on cake batter...what we turned it into was cake-scoops a la Tostito Scoop. Since it's suggested you use flour based cooking spray, the overflow cake chips pop off just like the Scoop...and I used them just like the scoops, too (like saying scoop), except instead of salsa, I subbed icing. Please believe they were delicious.

Scoop.

4. Remove lid- and bask in the wonder of perfectly symmetrical balls of cake. 


5. Heat cherclate, dip end of sticks in cherclate, jam sticks in pops, put in fridge to set the cherclate. As you can see, I didn't read that far into the directions- see the one missing?


He got done first. By his lonesome self. 


And guess who forgot to take a picture of the finished product?!

ME! Here's a Microsoft Paint version of what happened when I tried to put them in my cake carrier and took them to my sister-in-law's that night: 



Look good they did not. At least they tasted good.

I'm available to destroy your desserts for your next party- be sure to email me and I'll make it happen.

Im confused by this new turn on cake pops- and if what you do is better I need to know!, rolling the crumbled batter and icing is challenging and melted chocolate is a night mare especially when the cake pops start sliding bc they werent solid enough.

I fully support you destroying desserts at any next party I may have :)

Are you sure those shoes don't match? They look good together.

Can someone invent Dorito pops?
MMM dorito pops.

Good job on the pops. I cant make anything.

Like the shoe combo

how about cake pops, rolled in dorito crumbs for a cruchy cheesy outside layer?
