Cupcake day!

Cupcakes are my thing. I like making them, eating them, wearing them. They're just amazing, ok?

During hat week, I had the opportunity to wear my amazingnessful cupcake hat that my even more amazingnessful future husband bought me. I didn't have time to get a good pic, so you get a glorious picture taken in the bathroom.



Not only did I wear a cupcake, but I also made cupcakes. Bunches and bunches of them.



In all, I believe there were over 100 regular sized ones and probably about 60 mini ones. (mini cupcakes are my favorite!)

I made these for my future grandparents-in-law (Is that what you would call them?) as they celebrated their 50th anniversary. And yet again, I failed to take a picture, thus resulting in not so good photos. However, this is the end result.


I then played server.

I'm pretty excited because I have another cupcake project coming up. Not near as many, but it will still be fun!

Maybe I can make them without this happening to me this time.

Popcorn and Popcorn Chicken

Yesterday was a somewhat lazy Tuesday. Juju and I met in the SUB (Student Union Building) for lunch:

Popcorn and popcorn chicken! And Juju gets the blame for burning the popcorn. 

Taking over the SUB


We were really excited to see that bendy straws made the top of our school newspaper's weekly Ups and Downs list!


Being a college kid means you'll take a nap anywhere. Even on the floor of the SUB.


Snoozing in the sun


And just because it's funny:

i had a bit of fun on picnik :)

Berets and Beignets (aka 4th Day of Hat Week)

It was accidentally beret day! Juju and I both wore one today. And we didn't even call each other planning to be twins! You know what they say about great minds...




I borrowed my Grampa's camera (yes, my Grampa is cooler than me with his DSLR camera, ginormous Mac, and his brand new Macbook Pro) so we decided to play around with the settings, thus resulting in some funny lighting. Watching Grampa try to figure out what happened to his settings ought to be interesting.

Isn't Juju's dachshund pin absolutely adorable?


There's something I have yet to announce to our little blog, but I suppose it's as good a time as any. 

I recently got ENGAGED!

Recent being two months ago, but still. 
Here's a picture of my gorgeous ring.


  
Didn't he do good? He picked it out all by himself. :)


Juju and I are both excited for tomorrow--we're wearing our favorite hats!
And they might be somewhat interesting.
