You guys, I know I know, these cupcakes don’t exactly look like brains. But I did my best with the tools I had at home. I don’t have a million piping tips because I would only use them once every 3 years. But if you are looking to make some better looking brains, here is a great instructional video! But come on, this is by far the most creative I’ve ever been in cooking or baking. Like, ever. Bleeding brains? Adorably gross! You could use this Raspberry Caramel on anything and call it bleeding ____. You’re instantly creative like me then. Do it, just do it!
You know when you have one of those days that involves multiple fits of screaming in your car? I do. I had one of those days. It started off with a dream. In my dream, I got in a car accident and was thrown from the car. I woke up from the small scream I let out. So whatever, I move past it, make some coffee, eat a muffin. Then when I decide to leave the house for the gym, I back out of my garage as usual, watching each mirror in the tiny garage I lay my car in at night. But guess what happens? Oh you know what’s about to happen. I smack a mirror. Not all the way off. But enough to send pieces flying. So what do I do? Scream “F*******ck” then pull forward and what happens? I run over the pieces that just broke off. So guess what I do? Scream “F*ck F*ck f*ck f*ck” while slamming on the steering wheel then I go about my day pouting like a mother f*cker and eating cupcakes. At least I know how to turn a sh*tty situation around. This is what I get for buying a midsize car after having a 2 door Honda Civic my entire life and having a garage the size of a tea cup. Get your life together, Juli, use your effing eyes.
You know what people can’t be trusted? The people who don’t use curse words. I think of those people as the people you see on Dateline special. I said “AF” in a post the other day and a person told me she was unfollowing me since I was no longer a decent site. B*tch, please. I need you to do two things for me before you leave my site: 1. Grow up 2. Check yourself in before you become a dateline special. A good “f*cking f*ck” here and there is good for the soul. Don’t cover it up with some fudge word. You’re an adult. You can do this. Don’t be a murderer. Murderers hold curse words in. Do you understand what I’m saying about a Dateline special person now!?!
No one told me that Million Dollar Baby was the most depressing movie of all time. No one. I finally saw it for the first time over the weekend and sadness has not left me.
Guess what? I’m about to book my flights to Jamaica for our wedding! Colors chosen, wedding dress in hand (needs to be altered still)….wait, that’s all I’ve done. If I book tickets then I’m done planning, right? Totally right!
