From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

Today has been a good day. My new function at work is fun and challenging. After work I picked up my new KitchenAid mixer. When I got home tonight I had a letter waiting from my lovely penpal in the UK Hannah. And accompanying the letter were some sweets, and an adorable tiny elephant candle. I made grilled cheese to go with my soup for dinner tonight and it was delicious. I did a mini spell that my brother and sister-in-law and their family get approved for the wonderful new house they applied for, so they can get settled before Christmas. Especially since it is the first one for our tiny nephew Gideon. I am snuggling with my cat and my dog, while watching the Columbus Blue Jackets play the Philadelphia Flyers.   Gideon with his Grandma (Seth's mom)   My new toy. He's so little, heehee. Sweets.   I am feeling more like myself again. It was a little rough there in September and October. But things have been really good...

The lovely Toriz from  Torizworld  has tagged me and because it seems like fun I am going to play too. According to the rules I need to post 11 random things about myself, answer the questions Tori put together for us, tag 11 new people and make up 11 questions for them. 11 random things about me: 1. I have a deep speaking voice, but sing high soprano, so when I used to do musicals I would purposefully talk in a higher voice, so it didn't sound silly. 2. I have had several poems published. 3. I absolutely suck at playing video games and get frustrated really easy when I can not get the characters to do what I want. I blame this on having no gaming systems between the Atari 2600 and Playstation. 4. I love mannequins, styling heads, foam heads, glass hands etc. I don't know why but I could fill my house with them. 5. I love having people over and entertaining, but it stresses me out. I'm fine once people are here and things are underway, but before then I am a wre...

This is just silly, but I just have to get this out. A Cupcake is a specialized treat. It is a self contained treat. It is made to be eaten with your hands. The whole purpose is so that you will not need a utensil. This is apparently important to me because I got frustrated today when I saw someone in my department at work digging their cupcake out of it's wrapper using a spoon. It's a cupcake, just eat the cupcake. No offense to anyone who eats cupcakes with forks or spoons, but this person was putting in so much effort it just didn't seem worth it. In other news the cupcakes had hello kitty rings in the top and I got someone to eat a cupcake and give me the ring. lol. Love it.
