False Eyelashes*

Admittedly, I have nothing terribly exciting to write about today. I had written a post about my undying love for winter and Christmas, but I think that you're aware of that by now. And, if you aren't, just go back to the archives and see what I've written before. We'll save the Christmas love for December and the winter love for when it actually appears, rather than celebrating it preemptively.

Then I thought I might tell you about the excitement that's coming this week - tons of fun is cooking - but then I thought that it might be more fun to tell you about how much fun I had rather than how much fun I will have. So, the exploits of my weekend celebrating Bradshaw's birth will be forthcoming.

I considered sharing my to do list with you, then realized that it was largely populated with things like "do the massive pile of dishes" and "vacuum the living room" and "sort the laundry." These things are not interesting to me, so why on earth would I expect you to find them anything but snoozy?

Since I clearly have nothing of substance to tell you about, you are going to get an update of my weekend in bullet points while Puck digs in the couch cushions looking for the feather toy that is no longer stashed there.

  • Friday was productive. I did dishes, made a "Lemon Lemon Loaf," did the dishes from that, made the cupcakes for what I have dubbed the "Trick and Treat Cupcakes," and then left those dishes in the sink. Did I mention that I no longer have a dishwasher and therefore must do the dishes by hand? And also that I detest doing dishes? Well, now you know. I also watched the DVR'ed episode of Gossip Girl from Monday and found myself quite amused. Admittedly, it's another show that I prefer watching on DVD; it's somehow better when you can watch several episodes in just a few hours rather than over several weeks.

  • Saturday was spent assembling the "Trick and Treat Cupcakes," the idea and recipe for which came from the ever-lovely Spiff. In the center of each cupcake was the hidden surprise of....Pop Rocks! Comments about my love of lemon prompted me to use white cupcakes instead of lemon, but I did maintain the lemon frosting. I have a rule about cupcakes particularly and desserts in general: Keep three, pass off the rest. So, the cupcakes were taken to my parents' restaurant, where everyone was surprised and strangely amazed by the effervescent filling. (Actual stupid comment: "I would have thought that they would melt if you baked them." This would be less stupid if it came from a real child, but it came from a 23-year-old moron.) I rounded out the evening with a marathon phone call with Bradshaw.
  • Sunday was lazy day, spent primarily with scrambled eggs with Asiago cheese and the book I just started reading, The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing. I watched the new Storm Chasers and reruns of House. And did not do my dishes.

My current plan for today involves housework, phone calls, writing, and planning. I am going to take this week to enjoy autumn - which I'm hating far less this year than in those previous - and be content. Next week, I'll start decorating for Christmas. All that's left is to figure out where to put the tree....

*Nope, the title of this post has absolutely nothing to do with the content.

It's not out of the realm of possibility for them to have melted, seeing as how they're just sugar with infused carbon dioxide. And sugar has a low enough boiling point that were you to have baked them at too high a temperature, they might have in fact turned into a lumpy blob.

Your random science nonsense was brought to you today by the letter "L".

No, I know that they would have melted. The stupid thing is that he thinks that I would bake them in instead of sneaking them in later. That's the point; he has the mentality of a seven-year-old who is astonished by a ship in a bottle.
