Current Mood: Athletic & Happy

Ok, this is pretty fucking yummy. I had some left over batter from the s’mores cupcakes I made the other day so it made a thin 2 layer cake. I mostly wanted to try out this frosting recipe, chocolate buttercream. There is about equal amounts of cake to frosting, hehe. I love the frosting, it’s so damn yummy. I just threw some milk chocolate morsels on it for decorations. This frosting would be awesome tho with some fresh raspberries or strawberries. That just was too expensive for this thin little cake, hehe. This is the first slice of cake that I’ve ever tried from my own little kitchen.

My computer at work died. So I’m sitting here contemplating life. Not really a ton I can do without my comp. They were talking about setting me up on a visitor one but honestly I still can’t do shit. So hopefully they fix my stuff fast.

I went running last night. First time in over a week. took it REAL slow. I walked a ton. I am so not the runner that even apparently after a week I lose a lot of endurance, or well maybe more just body endurance, I wasn’t near out of breath. But my hip aches a bit today and I figured it would. Friday will be much better tho. I was still snotty yesterday too. Congestion usually sticks around for awhile with me.

I think I will go quit L.A. Fitness tonight. Save $30 a month. I’m quite happy with the running and I should do some weights but my apartment gym is perfect for that. I just can’t keep being forced to get to the gym 45 minutes early just so I can sign up for a class. Waste of time…. I’m 3/4 of the way thru a run in that time and with more calories burned. Even my shitty little run from last night burned equal calories to what I do at the gym.

CHEEBURGER!!!!!!! That’s where I’m going for lunch. It’s a splurge day, I’ve been doing so good lately. The real test will be Friday night tho, I need to cut that night back a little, haha. I must figure out something yummy to get that isn’t like a ton of food. So no pizza night Friday. Maybe McDonalds! I haven’t been there in like 4 months.

This weekend is fondant weekend. Time to try it. This chocolate cake I made the other day is dense enough for me to be comfortable with as a first attempt to cover a cake. So I’ll go to Michaels probably Friday night or sometime Saturday and get all the ingredients to make it from scratch. I should get a rolling board, I only have little ones. The bank account it a bit thin this weekend from getting my hair dyed and a bunch of long term baking items I purchased. But whatever, I am very excited to try this out so it will be worth it!
