In Celebration Mode!

By Courtney 17 Comments

Whooooo’s excited it’s Friday? C’mon, let’s see those hands up in the air! :-D

I’m definitely feelin’ the excitement today, since I’m going to have a BUSY BUSY few days of celebrating coming up ahead of me. Most of today has been spent in the kitchen, making birthday cupcakes. Jay’s birthday (and Cody’s!) is on Sunday, so we’re having a few friends over tomorrow to help us celebrate. Tomorrow is actually also our friend Mal’s birthday too, so there’s lots to celebrate. Oh, and hey, I guess while we’re in celebration mode, I’ll just quickly throw in there that today is my 1/2 Birthday. What’s that you ask? Who in the world celebrates 1/2 birthdays? Oh yeah, THIS GAL, right here! Happy 1/2 Birthday to ME!! I just love birthdays!

So when I asked the hubby what kind of cupcakes he’d like for the party, he responded with, “Umm, how about all of them?” Oh hubby, you’re so funny. ;)

I decided still that I would make three different kinds…yes three. Hey, what can I say, I’m crazy like that. Oh yeah, and I’m not working. ;) Here’s a little sneak peek at what my kitchen has looked like all morning…

Some of these might look familiar…some of them are a new adventure! :-o

Breakfast

My main meal came in two batches today, since I wanted to get up and out of the house first thing to get my supplies. Before leaving the house, I snacked on a piece of Manna Bread. Since I finished my Carrot & Raisin loaf, it was time to try a new flavor: Fruit & Nut!

 IMG_3526

Topped with a smear of Blizzard Butter. :-P

I think I may like the Fruit & Nut loaf MORE than the Carrot Raisin. Immediately upon biting into it, the bread had a quick burst of cinnamon & nutmeg which was surprising yet totally delicious. And I’m definitely diggin’ the chunks of nuts in it too (there’s almonds, cashews, & hazelnuts). It’s a WINNER! :mrgreen:

While I was out, I also took part in some Coffee Friday celebrating.

Then breakfast #2 was consumed while in the midst of baking: a vanilla flavored Chobani topped with strawberries, blueberries, and some Bare Naked Fit granola.

Now it’s time to take a break from the kitchen and start working again on the deck. “I love painting. I love painting. I love painting…” Maybe if I say it enough, I’ll start to believe it? ;)

Fashion Friday may have to be put on the back burner today since I’m super busy, BUT I promise I’ll find a way to make up for it next week!

Question for the Afternoon:

Do you have anything fun or silly that you like to celebrate? (like 1/2 Birthdays…even though I don’t think they’re silly!)

    I always celebrate my 1/2 birthday too! I also love to follow all those random national food days/months. July is National Ice Cream Month. :) Cupcakes look great, by the way!

      I just used regular, 100% whole wheat bread that we had in the house. I believe the brand I used yesterday was Country Kitchen, but we swap around with brands a lot.

    Happy 1/2 birthday! :) I often celebrate on Tuesdays or Thursdays with my friend. Tuesday is the "Tuesdays suck so let's try to counteract it" or Thursday is the "We're so close to the weekend I can feel it". It makes the week a little more fun that way...

    Those Oreo cupcakes sound totally decadent! We celebrate 'Mid Winter Christmas' in New Zealand - because Christmas falls in the height of Summer, so roast turkey with all the trimmings isn't really what you feel like when you're sweating like a pig! But when winter rolls around we get together with our family and have all that delicious winter Christmas food and exchange small gifts :-)
