I made cupcakes last night, probably for the first time in my life. (I honestly can't remember ever making them before.) They were in honor of my co-worker Jen's promotion. (Congrats, Jen!) I made more than four dozen out of two boxes. Yellow cake, some with buttercream frosting and others with chocolate. Oh, and some with chocolate sprinkles and others with candy flowers. They turned out amazingly moist! With the plethora of cupcakes, I decided to take some to my condo neighbors. There are seven units in our building. The first two units didn't answer, despite the fact that all of their cars were in the garage. (Do people go to bed before 9:30?) The third unit answered. She opened the door and looked at me as though as I was offering her used motor oil. Granted, we'd never been introduced, but we always say hi in the parking garage. She took two of them, reluctantly, and I decided that I wasn't going to head to the rest of the units. More cupcakes for me and my co-workers! Hmph! They were a big hit at work, so pissy neighbors be damned! (I know that the one unit we really like wasn't home because their cars weren't here.)
I watched Beauty and the Geek tonight. It really is a great show. I have a love/hate relationship with Richard, the nerdiest geek of them all. He is simultaneously entertaining and really annoying!
I skipped hip-hop tonight because I'm lazy. I am going to try to make it to a 6 a.m. spin class tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll have better luck with a pre-work workout. Someone please feel free to kick my butt. I need to get into shape!

Your neighbours are indeed a pissy bunch. If someone came to my door with cupcakes I would only be scared they would ruin my diet. Which they then would. Then I would be pissed off at myself. But not at the bringer of cupcakes, oh no!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a very nice gesture. Also, great blog!
I wanna a cupcake now - now me hungry - big time.
ReplyDelete6am spin class? Yikes! I like morning, but not enough to hurt for it.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I wouldn't reject a yummy cupcake! Screw your neighbors.
Your neigbors are weird. Anyone who doesn't want a free cupcake is. Especially a good one.
ReplyDeleteI admire you for working out in the morning. I can't and have to do it after work.
I wish my neighbors brought me cupcakes...
ReplyDeleteAll I get from them is loud music in various languages and cars always parked behind mine so I can't get out.
mmm...cupcakes..
ReplyDeleteKudos to you on the 6am spin class.
ReplyDelete1) I never take a spin class
2) I don't get up at 6am!
i agree with you on the richard thing.. i like him, but i can't stand him sometimes... i still hope they win because i can't stand chuck's attitude at all.
