Wow, this hunk of junk was so bad, I don't know where to start. I had 4 kids and 4 packages of cupcake mix. That was the only good thing that came of the whole fiasco!

The mixing and "micro-baking" went well and everything was good until we hit the icing point. This contraption literally slung blobs of icing and unfortunately most of it landed and dribbled over the sides of the cupcake and made a mess. No way was this icing experience even close to the commercial version. *tears* from my daughter.

I get out a spreader and manually spread icing on top of the cupcake and let her decorate it. The worst is yet to come...

As soon as she peeled the cupcake paper liner away, the cupcake literally crumbled. She had a fist full of cupcake *more tears*.

I think it had something to do with the microwave "baking" because every single cupcake crumbled the same way. Shame really.

This is one Birthday present that will get put into the closet and forgotten about.

Next time we will bake "real" cupcakes!

Don't waste your money. Really.

I just wanted to get the word out about itseasytowin.com. This website is run by a man named Eric Friedberg and I have personally talked to him on the phone several times now. He is trying to make an effort of getting this new website off the ground and he is not paying me to write this. He's just a super nice man that I feel compelled to help.

So, wanna know more? This website rocks! He has a set schedule for live games and they are so fun. The game is called State Your Case. You log in (or register - it's free, head for the live games and sit back and watch and hope they call your name. It is completely random and addictive! Eric has a fun personality and always makes me giggle.

My son and I have personally won $50 from itseasytowin.com and we had the check in our hands within 4 days! That was even including a weekend!

There are other great games as well that you can play a few times each day to win real money or even a trip to Aruba. Two people have already won that trip! *drool*

Anyways, head to http://www.itseasytowin.com/ietw/index.do and tell 'em Sheila sent ya! Good luck! Hope many Moms here win. :)

We have kittens! There were 4 of them, but now we are down to 2. My daughter is completely smitten with the kittens. Mama cat is gone and we've been taking care of the wee ones. Such fun! Yesterday we let them play in the grass for the first time. So cute watching them pick up their paws and adjust to grass. :)

I'm pathetically tired this afternoon. Do you know what it means when a dog wakes you up several times overnight panting? Well, lemme tell you what it means to my dog. I GOTTA PEE! Yea, I knew that, ... after he started whizzing all over my kitchen floor! So, after cleaning up the doggy mess, I was wide awake. What does a dweeb-head do when she's wide awake. Get on the computer of course! I answered about 40 ChaCha questions and meandered the web for a few hours. *yawn* That was dumb, I shoulda went back to bed.

Ok, so I finally caved and I'm an official blogger. Yea me! * roll eyes* Like anyone actually gives a cock-a-doodle-doo-doo.

Did you know that with baking stones (like a pizza stone) when they get really nasty and overly oily you can use a sander to clean them up? Yep, read that on the instructions on the new one that I won from Bolla Pizza yesterday. Wow - can you believe it, I actually read the instructions! Ok, I was bored and the pamphlet was handy.

I think I'll start posting some tried and true recipes here on my blog as well. Stay tuned, I'm sure you'll be waiting with baited breath! *snickers*
