I heart cupcakes

Friday, I brought homemade cupcakes to work. Did too. I left them in a container Friday, so today I come to work and someone has nicely washed the rubbermaid container and left a post-it note on it, "thanks" with a smiley face. Fast forward (I wish) to the end of today, I carry said container out to my car. I realize as I get in my car that the post-it note had become attached to my left boob for the entire trek out to my car in the big parking lot downtown. My left boob says "thanks" with a smiley face. Awesome.

shooting up

Jan and I celebrated her birthday by going to the shooting range, driving range, home for drinks, and then having Gary take us to Tlaquepaque for a kickass Mexican dinner. I suffered all night giving birth to my food baby. Ugh.


Jan did pretty good for her first time shooting, and shooting such a big caliber gun. (40 cal and a 9mm) The lady at Target Masters was so helpful she put us at ease. I have never been to a gun range, only outdoors with friends. (i.e. blowing up tanks in the Black Rock Desert or killing Budweiser cans, and rightly so, in Mountain Ranch, etc.)

Yesterday, Gary and I went to Big Sur with Moxie who I've decided is an English Shedder, and of course I forgot my camera. It was sooo pretty. We stopped at the Maiden Publick House on Highway 1 where I tried a Belgian Beer, "Leffe" I think is what it was. It was tasty.

Retro cereal

Frankenberry, Count Chocula and Boo Berry at the Target. No one warned me about this. I don't like riding the Way Back Machine without warning. Geeez.

As I suspected.

I tried each of the so called "flavors" that Milk-Bone offers, and as you might guess, there's no difference. None. I was mostly disappointed with the "bacon" flavor that was not. Five colors, and dogs are color blind. But people ain't. We're such suckers.

Achin for a Bacon

I haven't written about bacon lately, so here's my latest find. I would not mind one (bacon )bit if I got the Bacon of the Month as a gift for some reason where I would happen to deserve a gift. I see on that site they also have Bacon Brittle which has me atwitter.

I have two trips that I'm excited about coming up. One to see my brother and his wife in Phoenix for Thanksgiving, and the other will be some time around New Year's. I've been invited to visit the UK with my beau. Both are going to be exciting. My trip to Phoenix will be a road trip with just me and Moxie. I have always wanted to take a road trip with just my dog. We'll be driving in my Mountaineer.

Going to the UK will be fantastic, I am so excited.
