A Sprinkles Kind of Day

Can you guess where I went on Monday?
It's near the Jesus-Christ of LDS Temple.
Can you spot it in the background?

They sell delicious treats and it's the only one in La Jolla.

It's Sprinkles Cupcakes.

I know a lot of people rave about these cupcakes in Los Angeles and made me curious to find out what all the hoopla was about.
Luckily for me, my dear friend treated me to their special cupcakes for my birthday. Btw, I'm 21 again. ;-)

I had the german chocolate cupcake with frosting that was dee-li-shus... also had a taste of the banana cupcake. It was good, but the chocolate frosting was waaaaay too sweet for my liking.

Would I go back? Sure. Would I recommend them to anyone? Why not? They have plenty of flavors begging to be sampled and sharing them with friends makes them even more tasty.

Also patronizing them is good for the environment and not to mention your conscience since Sprinkles Cupcakes is eco-friendly.
Hopefully this short post sweetened your week without all the extra calories.
Till next time with a much needed knitting post. :-)

Back Online

Wow, talk about a break... an unexpected one at that.
HP was about to receive a scathing letter from me about their shoddy products.
Having your computer crash at the most crucial time of year is absolutely not cool.
Thank goodness the sales guy at Office Depot knew exactly how to fix the problem, (which it turns out had nothing to do with the computer hard drive), unlike the "techs" I had to speak with in a different continent, who by the way, wanted to charge me $90 just to have me open up the back of my laptop. I don't think so.
It not only bothers me that so many jobs are outsourced, but that they have the nerve to charge a fee to follow directions they're reading off the computer screen.
Keep jobs in America, HP!

Now, I can take a deep breath and it's back to blogging. I have a lot of catching up to do.
I am determined to make this year a good one despite the hardships of life the universe is dishing out right now.

HAPPY 2012!!

Love Conquers All

If only my problems were this simple.
I'm a big fan of The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team, so when I read about Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Kelsi Reich story I knew I had to tune in.
See, her boyfriend is David Nelson and he plays for the Buffalo Bills , the Dallas Cowboys opposing team for today's game.
According to the articles I've read (one more here), they were both looking forward to the game, but he was planning something special for her without getting her into too much trouble with her boss, Kelli Finglass. Yikes.
Watch the video to find out what he did for his girl.
Enjoy!

Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you to all those who have served and are serving to protect us and our freedom.

Chilly Sunday

On this chilly Sunday.
Cold and raining throughout the day and a sinus headache to boot. There was no reason to get out of bed.
San Diego Chargers lost. Boo. :-(
There was definitely no reason to get out of bed.
AND...
It's not even 6 o'clock and it's dark out.

After 3 advil, 3 pancakes and 3 hours hibernating under the blankets, things were looking up.
So...
On this chilly and COZY Sunday...
it's a good time for some knitting.

I'm working on Christmas cowl. And...

I made a pair of purple armwarmers for a friend that I have yet to deliver. She requested them when the weather was still in the low 80's, high 70's. :-/

Stay warm knitters.

Happy 11-1-11

From the Doreen Virtue Official Fan Page

"Today's date is 11-1-11 (or 1-11-11), which in Angel Numbers is a STRONG angelic message to keep your thoughts steadily focused upon love, positive energy, and manifestation."

Hopefully everyone had a great day.
