More Cupcakes and Backpain

So, we tried a few more cupcakes. I tried the Plain Vanilla (vanilla cake with vanilla icing) from Cupcake Royale and Ben tried the Eggnog (vanilla cake with eggnog icing) from Cupcake Royale. They look almost the same, except the eggnog one was slightly darker in cream color and it had a sprinkle of what appeared to be nutmeg on it. They both tasted like they had coffee in them. I think it's because they're in a coffee shop and that shop REEKED of coffee. I mean, it was strong! So, we figured that the flavor in the air must've mixed with it. The cake on both was dry and the frosting was pretty dense. I think it's because it gets cold at night here and we don't have the heat on downstairs, but still... Not impressed again. Such a disappointment thus far.

Well, Ben hurt his back on Thursday playing football with a bunch of guys from the ward. He then decided that going to judo on Tuesday was a good thing and has been in a lot of pain all day. Today, we were supposed to take a HUGE load to the dump and possibly squeeze in another one, but NOPE. He can't even bend over, so he's heading to the chiropractor in the morning and I hope he's able to make it better, because we need to get going on the moving business soon! I'd like to take over some stuff to my parents on Sunday, after church. He's been taking ibuprophen and vicodin to help with the pain. He walks crooked and it looks hilarious. Since we didn't go to the dump, I slept for several hours because Ben's snoring is SOOOOO horrible, but since his back was hurting I let him sleep in the bed last night. Thus, I only got 2-3 hours of sleep before I got up and got Keven off to school. Once I woke up, Ben had to head out to go to a manditory meeting at work, but couldn't take the KIA, because it's too low to the ground and he has to shift and it all hurt his back. So, I told him to take the Cruiser, since it's MUCH higher off the ground and no shifting. While he was gone, I got to work on our room. This is a room we have SERIOUSLY neglected over this whole year we've lived here. I threw away so much crap and purged a lot of stuff. I filled several garbage bags full and I feel MUCH better about moving things out of this room now. I threw away old bathroom stuff from under the sink and it's down to one bag that is going to my parents this weekend. YEAH! Keven and I are going to work on his room tomorrow and get a nice, large bin FULL for the goodwill. He has way too many toys and can only take a bin-full over to my parents house, because when he has too many toys, he just makes an enormous mess!

OK, I'm done. Will continue to post on the cupcakes. I told Ben we have to get them eaten soon or they'll go bad! So, we'll shoot for 2 each tomorrow. They're so rich that I have a hard time finishing them! Until then, sleep well and dream of large women... or men. HA!
