I was feeling rather stressed today so much so I cried (only a little) but after a couple of pain killers (for my stress induced headache), as well as making the pretzel stick favors for Dana’s baby shower, I was able to make a full recovery. Thank God for friends like Gabbie. Any who. . .I got a little frustrated after the store brand chocolate chips wouldn’t melt (they just cooked and were very lumpy). I guess that’s what I got for being cheap.
So after I went back to the grocery store to pick up the good chocolate chips (Nestle), everything was good. I don’t trust the microwave. . .lol. . .and I don’t have a double boiler. . .what’s a girl to do in her culinary woes. No worries. I used this cup. Ohhhhh looky it says MOCHA! Perfect.

I just used this cup like you would a double boiler (put the cup inside a pot of hot, not boiling, water). It may have worked even better because I don’t know if a double boiler would have had enough depth to cover so much of the pretzel rods as the cup did. So like I said perfect.
I bought a variety pack of sprinkles and made them all pretty. Then I set them on wax paper to harden.

They came out so good (or is it well and why am I concerned). You get the point; and they taste soooo good. Just ask my daughter. She already had one, took a second one, and then I caught her trying to take a third one! I told her no, no in a loud voice. . .kinda hurt her feelings because she started crying. I consoled her and told her she could have more tomorrow.
Now, let’s hope the remaining pretzel sticks make it to the baby shower.

Went to a buffet the other day that charges for children under the age of three. Who does that!? Anyway I did not appreciate it at all. So in retaliation, I left exact change of $39.17, this note on the back of the receipt, and my little cousin threw up all over the table and floor (did not plan that part). *Eewwww* Ha! Hope they enjoyed their tip.
I was gone for a minute. I had to spend some time getting my life together. I’m not quite where I want to be. I’m not even sure where I’m headed but I have taken a couple of steps in the right direction over the last year or so.
