Way to go, Zen!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Since I don't use FB regularly, I don't bother unfriending anyone, even if I don't speak to them anymore. And, I do have to admit, the last time I went on, I did look up everyone I had once been close with and hadn't spoken to in forever.

I probably didn't need to do that. But I also learnt not much more than "everyone's had a baby except you". The people I was mad at didn't have any interesting info up anyway. Well, not where I could see it. ::sniff::

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Lifehacker had a link to a recipe for mini-cakes baked in canning jars.

I am making [link] in jelly jars right now! AIFG!

I've done the jelly jar thing, but still didn't eat them fast enough.

Can someone find/link/retype the CI cupcake recipe? found and evernoted! Twin's birthday this week and those sound perfect.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank you, -t!

Tangentially related to topic, a former co-worker pinged me to connect on LinkedIn, and when I did, I discovered one of my exes in her network. Shouldn't have surprised me, I guess, we all used to work at the same place, but I didn't know they were friends. It's a bit strange. I don't want to reconnect with Laura, and I hope she doesn't either.

I hope you're not going to feed *them* adult cupcakes. That's irresponsible parenting, and I judge you.

Kat's going to feed the twins adult cupcakes in the bathtub.

What makes the CI cupcakes adult? I mean, yes, they have filling, but whatevs? I'm going to make 4 dozen of the CI cupcakes for their party AND another 2 dozen of cupcakes in ice cream cones for Noah's actual birthday on Tuesday. And I have to buy bakery/storebought treats for Grace to take to her school.

Cupcakes in ice cream cones, my mom used to make those. Nice.

Kat - I'm working on birthday plans for K-Bug right now too. Tuesday is an awesome birth date all around. I should figure out cake, but her day is already pretty full with work and school, we just get to spoil her over breakfast.
