catching up

Lets see... last week was slammed packed with so many awesome things that it was on the border of not being awesome.

not complaining, i swear.
We had one of our best friends april + jason getting married and we were filming their wedding and i was also making their cake, cakepops and cupcakes, filming a promo of the new South Hills album at a studio in fullerton, working on a rushed video for a company that i contractually cant say nor tell you what its about thats how serious that job was (and yes this is me name dropping a unnameable company), whilst working my normal 9-5 and getting a whole day of jury duty.  
Luckily, Geoff helped me out so much and so did many of my friends with the baking duties. And the wedding was one of the most fun and love filled weddings ive been to. I love Love.
God has been really throwing out a ton of opportunities at us for our small growing business. Im so so excited. When im at work all day all i think about is going home and working on editing things we shot and im looking up how to be better. Heather and grayson stayed the night with us on saturday and i seriously just picked her brain for the whole weekend they were here haha. I miss them. Maybe they can talk geoff into relocating to washington. Im not opposed!   
Things have been amazing and wonderful and super busy but im starting to get used to the busy schedule again. I got so used to punching out after work and just hanging out and relaxing that i kinda miss it. This stress though is reeking havoc on my face and my body. I had no time to make healthy dinners so i'd eat some dino-chickies and tots. ten year's taste buds, i know. i swear ive gone up 2 pant sizes since we got married too. you'd think knowing you have to be naked in front of someone would make you eat less and be skinnier but no. (sorry dad and pat if thats tmi!)

heather and april dance show

Last night we were all hanging out at brendas apt and april and heath wanted to watch a webcam video they were bored in long beach a long time ago. They emailed it to my iphone so we could watch it from there since B's comp wasnt in the working mood. Well, this morning i check my email and guess whats still in there....

for your enjoyment, heres a little piano and dance number by april and heath circa 2005 in apes apt:

J<3M + baking = fantastic idea

i would just like to bring your attention to john mayer's blog.
i know, i know, some of you dont love his music like i do but you "respect him as a musician". but seriously, the guy is pretty dang funny and for that i like him. yes, he is my unreachable dreamboat celebrity crush. but i digress-
he started this contest he calls, Interfaith Baking. people submit their best looking and holiday spirited baked goods and he will share them and post the best looking one and winner gets a prize.
im going to win it.
well not really, im not that fantastic as a cake decorator. but its nice to dream.
i have made tons of cookies in the past 5 days. i love baking sweets. i love baking with my mom every christmas. on last friday i tried making vegan cookies for SG to snack on while they were on their travels. not so hot- first batch i used whole wheat flour instead of white. leave the wheat flour for bread haha... no good for chocolate chip cookies. the second batch were okay but not good enough to give to them (espesh since i hear joanna, lil ryans girl, makes the best vegan baked stuff). then on sunday night i made cookies and realized i ran out of chocolate chips (note: carob chips are AWFUL). so we thought oreos would suffice. uuuhhh brilliant idea! delishiness mixed with, oh whats that?, MORE delishiness!
AND with a certain someones birthday coming up this week im going to bake these amazing cupcakes nicole found a while ago. if they come out as cool as it looked in the picture you will know.

wow, i cant believe i had that much to say about baked goods. haha im such a fat kid.

me: getting my baking on
heath: getting it on
