Note to self - must charge the iPod. I took the iPod with me on the camping trip and it never got played. Why not? Because I didn't charge it before I left my place. I know...I am lame like that. :S

Day 94 - My Jogging Companion
I admit...I've been bad. I have not jogged for awhile. I've gone to the gym on and off. I've jogged a few times since the half marathon but it has not been consistent. However, when I do jog, the husband is my jogging buddy but I also have a jogging companion called the iPod.

MSC - Zucchini-Spice Cupcakes
I was plesantly surprised about a week ago when I received an email from Betty with Eat My Cupcake that I was admitted into the Martha Stewart Cupcake Club! Yah! Let the baking begin!
My first baking assignment in the Martha Stewart Cupcake Club was zucchini-spice cupcakes (picked out by Tracey from Tracey's Culinary Adventures). As this was my first baking assignment, I had this vision that I would create this awesome cupcake to display and take pictures. Unfortunately - I ran out of time. I never realized how many ingredients are in these recipes!
The recipe asked for freshly grated nutmeg! Where do you find fresh nutmeg and how do you grade nutmeg? I went to Whole Foods and the grocery gal showed me a bottle with whole dried nutmeg. I bought the bottle and ended up grounding the nutmeg. I also cut down the sugar to about 1 and 3/4 cups and was perfect with the cream cheese frosting. If I wasn't using any frosting - I think I would have kept the sugar to 2 cups.
Overall....I really enjoyed this recipe and would use it again! :)
And I promise to do a better job of photographing my cupcakes from now on. :P

Day 93 - Farmville
I received an invitation to become a farmer on Facebook from PM's mom more than a week ago.
Life. Has. Not. Been. The. Same.
For the past week, I have been busy cultivating and harvesting my farm, nurturing it with love and attention, hoping it will thrive. (Gleefully rubbing hands together) I have plans for my farm. :D

Day 92 - She's Looking for a Recipe
This was the best picture I could take of #3 while she was sniffing around in my magazine collection. I think she's trying to look for a doggie biscuit recipe.
