Wednesday Things.

1. Fact: It's hot. If I could be anywhere right now, I'd be eating a mint chocolate chip ice cream sundae at Disneyland, for breakfast, from that place on Main Street that always makes me crave waffles and sugar cones and sprinkles. And I'd be in line for Splash Mountain.

With the cast from True Blood.

... and probably sharing the ice cream sundae with Eric. I mean, Alex. Alexander Skarsgard. We're best friends in this fantasy, you see. He bought me a churro too. How thoughtful.

I'm hungry.

2. Best decision all week: adding a spoonful of blueberries to a chocolate cake in a cup. Yes, I'm still obsessed.
... aaaand now I'm obsessed with blueberries. So. Good. Like a big chocolatey blueberry muffin in my mouth.

Side note: Must make chocolate blueberry muffins.

3. Summer goals. Do you have them? I want to...

Make something crafty and cute. An apron!

Make something in a jar. Cupcakes. S'mores cake. Carrot cake. Wedding cake?

Go camping. Eat peanut butter cup s'mores. See trees and stars and things.

Read The Hunger Games (has anyone else read this? Is it as amazing as everyone keeps saying? Quick! What's on your summer reading list?).

And last, but not least, two words: Harry Potter. July 15. At midnight.

... with the cast of True Blood.

Well you asked.

4. I made cupcakes! ... again.
I can't wait to show you what they're stuffed with. Hint: it's not chocolate.

5. I'm obviously not looking forward to the summer premiere of True Blood on Sunday. Not. at. all. Hate the show.

SO EXCITED.

6. Our summer festival starts today! An entire week of funnel cakes and Ferris wheels, parades and music and sunburns. It's not ice cream sundaes and Splash Mountain, but it's my favorite part of summer. And Daniel's coming down too!

7. I thought three-tone frosting was fancy... that is, until I found this photo buried in a box.
Can someone please teach me how to make these adorable fat ballerina elephants out of pink frosting? Thanks. I love you.

hunger games is awesome. You will read the first one and then immediately go out to get the second one. I was traveling when I read the first and second one... had to call my hubby from the airport and make him go out and get the third one so it would be waiting for me at home when I got in. Despite traveling for 20 hours, insane jet lag, and getting home at midnight, I read half the third book as soon as I walked in the door. Oh great. Now I over hyped it. Forget all that. The book is okay. Read it if you want. :)

I'm pretty sure that you could seduce Eric with ANY of your baking, it all looks so good! x

I wanted my step daughter to have fun this summer while she was with us so I enrolled her in a Wilton cake decorating class at the local Hobby Lobby. Its pricey (the class wasn't but all the stuff you have to buy really adds up) but she's having a ball! Plus I've used the time to give her some baking lessons. We've done homemade red velvet and devils' food cakes from scratch. So she wants me to bake the cakes and she can decorate them. I'll bet you could learn how to make ballerina elephants in a class like that!

I enjoyed the Hunger Games - good action/adventure kind of book! I'm reading "Graceling" right now. I really like the YA novels for some reason.

Elephants are oober easy, just takes practise! Use a bigger sized round tip and pipe the shape of the legs. When you do the body, keep pressure on the piping bag and don't release until you have a big elephant body blob(technical term). For the head, same as the body only obvilous not as big, and for the arms and trunk, just pipe the shape of the legs! For practise, just use some extra icing and pipe it all on a wax piece of paper, if it looks terrible, scrape off and start again! Hope that helps!

In the property market, the primary market is the initial transaction between the developer and the buyer. This is the only time that the developer gets money from the property. Even if property prices rise by 50%, the developer once they've sold the property doesn't benefit unless they develop and issue more units or buildings. <a href="http://www.fallmoney.com" target="_blank">www.fallmoney.com

Both the pharmacodynamic as well as the pharmacokinetic character changes with time. With aging inherent variability in physiologic differences becomes accentuated. Pharmacodynamic responses are blunted, ability to eliminate drugs is diminished and sensitivity to the toxic effects of drugs is increased.dls health care consulting

If you are a business class executive who cannot do without business desk facilities in their hotel can also get convenient accommodation in this area. There are some hotels offering internet and communication facilities too beside television, air-conditions, and other basic amenities.hotels and resort
