Cookie Monster Cupcakes

Captured!
  Look what Miss 14 caught tonight. Yep. Cookie Monster! One of her school friends is selling cupcakes at school tomorrow to raise money for the RSPCA and Miss 14 promised to make cupcakes to help out. She announced her intention just as I was looking at Pinterest. (What's the odds of that happening? I'm hardly ever on Pinterest! Lol!) So I showed her some Cookie Monster cupcakes and she went for it!


Aren't they cute?
See, who says nothing good comes from surfing Pinterest?

My Interest?

Has been completely captured by pinterest. It's really just a place on the web to keep all those photos you love best in groups. You can also look at what others love best and group together. It is a visual feast and I love it.

I was having a bit of a slow ho hum kind of day today and this afternoon after realising that I haven't accomplished anything today I figured I would just spend the rest of the day pinning things on pinterest. If I haven't done anything worthwhile I might as well have a lovely time, right? I spent a couple of hours doing just that. (The first time I had ever heard of pinterest it was a comment from someone who claimed it was a time thief. This is true. For me it equates to playing simcity, a game I love but rarely play because it vapourises time before your very eyes. I remember having a new baby, feeding the baby, playing ten minutes or so of simcity and the baby being ravenous again. I wondered what was wrong with the baby and then realised that the ten minutes was actually four hours and ravenous was exactly right. Since that epiphany I have rarely played simcity, but I don't have babies now so I figured pinterest might be a bit of fun!) Then I had to do some chores (picking up the daughter from school, picking up the car from the mechanics, you know the sort of things) and now it's not working! So much for my time waster! Maybe I might just get the old simcity out.......
