    Posted at 11:26 AM by Brittany, on April 29, 2013

    Sometimes I take pictures that make me feel really freaking awesome. I pretend I am a professional feline photographer for a feline magazine. I call this, “Dreaming of a better life.” In reality though, he is really spoiled and comes home within 20 mins of being let out.

    20130429-100901

    Sometimes I edit pictures that make me feel really freaking weird.

    20130429-100912

    This is what my cat would look like with a human face. Or so I assume. I couldn’t decide on which one to post so I posed three different versions. I think I like the goober, simply because it best describes my inner personality.

    Sometimes I fight my cravings for cupcakes and satisfy my sweet tooth with something easy and quick. It’s never the same, but the sugar rush is similar.

    20130429-100955

    Adult version of ants on a log. Minus the log. Sub chocolate for raisins  So really this is nothing like ants on a log..scratch that all together.

    Sometimes I surprise myself with a good run. 6 miles at a 9:31 pace is about a minute faster than my average pace. I’ll take it. Still undecided if I am going to run my third half marathon next month though..I take it day by day with my knees.

    Sometimes I get wild and give into my cravings for what I really want and build myself ONE cupcake. If I make more than one, I eat more than one. Problem solved-bake one.

    20130429-101026

    No recipe for this yet, it still needs some tweaking. It did satisfy my craving though..so job well done funfetti like cupcake. I made a sprinkle cupcake to celebrate the missed birthday of my blog. Oops..I forgot that last week was my two year blog birthday. I can’t believe it’s already been two years. I should have known with a first post like this I would be here for a while. The weirdness hasn’t changed, I can tell you that much.

    Sometimes my family makes me smile.. OK more like a lot of the time. My younger sister has started an art blog. If you like to draw and want to participate in her contests check her out over at: Order of the Pencil. YAY! I wish I could draw, but really my skills are as bad as a monkey trying to sing. My talents include twisting my arms to look like Frankenstein and making faces that would frighten small children. I’ve been blessed.

    Q: What’s your “sometimes” for the day?

      Woah 2 years of blogging is a long time! I’d say a birthday cupcake is definitely in order, the more sprinkles the better. That one in particular looks delicious. I like your thinking on the whole peanut butter with chocolate chips and no celery thing except substitute cookie butter for peanut butter and then we’re golden.

      LOL! Love your talent of making child-scaring faces! Such a cute and funny post. It’s so fun to pretend you’re a professional photographer and try and take artsy fartsy shots. I am not very good at it…mostly because I’m lazy and only take photos on my iPhone. My sometimes is…sometimes when I think no one is watching or listening I either dance like a loon at work or belt my lungs singing. BTW Happy 2 year anniversary!

      How about the “chocolate version of ants-in-a-mud-puddle”? No log necessary then!

      Sometimes…
      I eat dark chocolate M&Ms for breakfast.
      I take too many iPhone pictures of my dog sleeping.
      I write lists just so I can cross items off and feel accomplished.

      Many more, but that’s just my day so far!

      Sometimes I’m really tempted to close my office door for a “conference call”. Which is code for nap.

      Sometimes….well, I guess that’s all I have for now.

      I love little personal cupcakes. Another plus is switching up the mix-ins every time so you don’t get bored with the same baked good every day. Hopefully you have more good runs than bad because knee pain is not fun at all. I love the cat imposed with a human face hahaha. I like to dip chocolate bar pieces into PB jars. Especially Hershey’s Special Dark. YUM

      I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD A YOUNGER SISTER WHO DREW WITH THE TALENTS OF JESUS. I am not sure what that means, but it felt appropriate. Sometimes I wish I had your number so I could call you and spaz out. Sometimes I wish you lived near me so we could indulge on ants on a log together. Sometimes I forget to wear underwear and feel really awkward at work all day.

      I love the cupcake. When you have your bed and breakfast with manfried, this should be your token treat that you give all visitors xoxo

        Lately I have been wearing no underwear when I work out because the undie lines drive me crazy with my skin tight pants. This has been good and bad. Good because I feel confident without the line and bunching undies, but very very bad because my confidence is immediately shot with the amount of crotch sweat I produce. It’s awful. When I’m running it’s no big deal..but when at the gym..I must briskly walk out. I clearly am not THAT bothered though because I continue to go pantie-less.

      I love your adult version of ants on a log, but I have to say that cupcakes are probably better… I've tried tricking my sweet tooth by giving it something other than what it wanted, but it hardly ever works.

      And sometimes… man… sometimes I seriously consider moving. Almost May and it's snowing? I'm starting to doubt that we'll have a summer this year.
