independence day.


the 4th isn't major for me like most. every year i hope for sun and a bbq rib or 2. since i was off work on the 3rd, i got my sun then. (and my glow is fabulous, might i add!)
so my boy Dugger invited me to the Jaspects bbq - my only real plan for the day. i met mom for pedicures, went to the mall and helped her pick out her outfit for that night, baked some cupcakes, partook in fun bbq time, gave myself an at-home mani and stepped out briefly. this nightlife, btw, is not for me. all in all, a solid day.

easter sunday...

...was so long ago. but i'm backtracking so i can go ahead and delete this pic from my phone. so i made my 1st cheesecake. i call it "the black & white". mom helped with the crust.



and just for jealousy's sake,our dinner.

best i ever had

i'm not on drake's nuts like everyone else is. don't get me wrong, he's cool. i'll even say he's a refreshing change. but i'm old school, so these new guys don't excite me. anyway, i find the video for his first single clever and witty.
doesn't he remind you of the flying dog from the neverending story? i'm just sayin.

Michael Jackson dies at age 50



i apologize for being late with this.
the king of pop (really, of music) died on thursday, june 25th of cardiac arrest. the complications that caused it are still unclear. rumors have been circulating, per usual, and the most frequent one is a demerol od? idk. it hit me harder than i thought it would. i've had a soft spot for mike ever since the allegations started. he was too much of a child to be a bad person. i'm just sad that he passed at a time when a lot of people only had negative things to say.

iTunes, best buy and any other music retailers have been selling out of MJ stuff, as expected. i was hooked up with a compilation album, it's only right that i pass it on to you. download the mixtape here.

artistry

one of my first posts was about cupcakes. they're awesome. i like to eat them, look at them, read about them and more recently i've been about decorating them. i am IN LOVE with the way a box of all different looking cupcakes looks.

so my friend julie invites me to her birthday situation at Screen on the Green. i love julie dearly, but the idea of being in the heat, on a blanket, with a bunch of chicks made me shudder. a-ha! i'll make her cupcakes instead. julie's a plain jane when it comes to flavors, so i had her choose what she wanted. screw surprises, i hate to be wasteful. we settled on carrot cake with either cream cheese or vanilla frosting. i chose to use both.

i purchased the supplies - cake mix, frosting, dye, sugar, coconut, white chocolate, etc... i wanted to be creative. and since cupcake night coincided with erica and i's girl's night, she was recruited for the cause.

although they clearly look homemade, i think i did aight. will be tweaking it soon. (i made the carrots with a toothpick, my hand's not steady enough for the bag of frosting.)

hiatus

what's weird is, i haven't been here because there's been so much going on - but isn't that the purpose of a blog in the first place? working on transferring those thoughts and occurrences to here. seriously, it's all amusing. stay tuned. and my bad.
