Happy Birthday KJ

Today marks my beautiful son's 15th birthday! Happy birthday KJ!

Feeling Blue

Have you ever just felt blue? I discovered this weekend that my life wasn't what I thought it was. It turns out its a lot more complicated than I thought. I'm like uh....what just happened? I'm sad, scared and lonely. 3 things that I never thought would ever feel especially since I'm married with children. I will be fine once I can began to navigate what has become my life. I shall keep you posted....

Why oh why....

Is it freakin -8 with the wind chill this morning. I think I lost a layer of skin this morning walking into my office. I am now a new shade of brown!

Read it and weep!

Read it and weep Jenks Trojans! You got beat again!! Congratulations to the Tulsa Union Redskins for winnning back to back 6A State Football Championships! Go Stephon (my nephew and #6)!

Thanksgiving has come and gone...

and Christmas is fastly approaching. Have I bought any gifts? Have I even put up my tree yet? Nope to both! Its only December 2nd. I know, I know that tree should have been put up right after Thanksgiving. My momma calls me a scrooge because I don't put my tree up early. Why would I want to look at that tree for any longer than I have too. The bigger question is what in heck to get Kelly for Christmas. I will definitely get him something OSU (Oklahoma State University). Has anyone asked me what I wanted? Of course not. It doesn't really matter what I want. ALL I'VE EVER WANTED WAS A BIG KITCHEN AID MIXER. I have been asking for one for the past 6 years!

Dear Santa,
I have been the bestest girl ever. Please have Rudolph deliver me my Kitchen Aid mixer this year. I have so deserve it. Just think how many baked goods I could whip out with that mixer!!!
Love,
Soreeta

Oh wedding cupcakes!

Anyone that knows me, pretty much knows that I HEART CUPCAKES! So when I asked to do some wedding cupcakes, of course I jumped at the chance! Why wouldn't I. Alison who is the spunky oldest daughter of my co-worker Susan asked me to do some cupcakes for her wedding instead of a wedding cake. I had made Alison a Hello Kitty cake for her 26th birthday (at least I think it was her 26th birthday). She enjoyed the Hello Kitty cake so much that she asked me do cupcakes for her wedding, I was totally honored. Now I'm not the best cake decorator but I can make some mean cupcakes. What people tend to forget its really about the cake and not necessarily the frosting. Now I have has some great cake and some great frosting in my life time but I have also had the most nastiest cake and the super nastiest frosting. So I thought to myself I can so make a good cake and some pretty damn fantastic frosting too! Not to toot my own horn, but I can since this is my blog, ha! Anyway this is what I created for Alison's wedding. I made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream (let me just tell you that peanut butter buttercream was the biz-omb!), vanilla cupcakes with strawberry buttercream (uh the strawberry buttercream was so good it made you want to slap your momma, I'm not kidding. Even though I love my momma dearly and I would never in a million years slap her because if I did you wouldn't be reading this!) and vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream (which the vanilla leaves nothing to the imagination because its VANILLA). I was even invited to attend the wedding which was the most intimate affair that I have ever attend so thanks Alison! I had a blast, and I really enjoyed my Parmesan crusted tilapia!

September means......

Football, football, football. I heart football, whether its college or pro. My nephew is a Junior at Tulsa Union. Its one of those big power house football teams like you see on tv, like the show Friday Night Lights. I have gone to see my nephew a couple of times. I always warn my kids that mommy is a football cheering fool. I get it from my momma! No seriously. We grew up watching the Dallas Cowboys. When I got married my husband and I had to move in with my parents. Not a problem right? Well lets just say they all ruined pro football for me for a long time. I'm just now getting over it! My husband is a big time Steelers fan. We all know Cowboys+Steelers=Bad blood!!!! I have to give my props to my younger nephew Cassius. He also is a football player. Unfortunately for my my son is a basketball player. Not that I don't love basketball, I do. I truly do but we are in football season. Oh but I can't forget about baseball either.....Go Yankees! Oh by the way my momma is the biggest football fan ever! That's I posted her picture 2 times!
