I currently am making funfetti, star shaped cupcake sandwiches.
I made them up but I'm sure I'm not original.
Whoa, I think I need the directions for these. They sound amazing.
Oh, nothing hard
I made a very thin layer of funfetti cake. I took a star cookie cutter and cut out star-shaped pieces of cake. I'm going to stack two with cream cheese icing in the middle.
I want to bring treats to work tomorrow but keeping icing pretty on cupcakes is hard. This is the same flavor but easier to transport!
Anyone ever flown Frontier? I'm going to Chicago in July with a group of my favorite gals, and I can get a direct flight for 200 buckaroos. That seems hard to beat.
I fly them all the time because 1) I'm a pretty low-key flier and don't need/expect much 2) I use them for short-ish flights, so who cares if it's unpleasant 3) YES CHEAP! We are flying home next weekend for tickets that were only $19 each way!
Their customer service is crappy (they canceled my flight back and I had to cut my vacation by a day and a half in order to get back in time) and their seats aren't the most comfortable things ever. It's never happened to us, but I know their flights are frequently delayed (but I feel like that's any airline dealing with O'Hare).
Anyways. The experience isn't great, but I love a good bargain and I'm willing to deal with some nonsense for cheap flights. Plus, you'll be with your friends, so you can just laugh it off! If travel inconveniences really annoy you, stay away.

We flew frontier to Vegas and it was alright. Pay in advance to check your bags and make sure you bring snacks/drinks on the plane. They will charge you for everything they can (including sodas $2 each). Our flight home got delayed 8 hours and we got notified +dinner vouchers +flight credits for the next one which was nice.
To be fair, there are a lot of people who live in nursing homes because they don't have anyone to care for them, or they just need a little bit of assistance. This doesn't mean that they have dementia or aren't aware of what they are saying.
Yes, but how would she know if the woman who said that rude comment is or isn't suffering from dementia or something similar... She wouldn't.
ETA that this was my whole point. She said she doesn't give the elderly "a pass" unless they have dementia or a painful disease, but how does she know if someone is or isn't suffering?
I did not know if that woman was suffering, I only saw the pain on my friend's face as she told the story and the aggravating comment from our teacher who said to let it go because the woman was old. If I was randomly insulted by an elderly person I didn't know I would walk away because I wouldn't know where they were mentally. The elderly people I do know however do not get a free pass just because they're old, including my very rude and hurtful paternal grandmother. MY whole point is that if an elderly person is in their right mind, their age alone does not give them a free pass to be rude.
Would that have been any better? To tell someone they weren't pretty enough to be there with the other girls as a joke? Granted I wasn't there but I remember how hurt my friend was when she was telling me about it. And then overhearing the story, our teacher said "yeah but that woman was old so they get to say things like that." Uh no. Whether you're 9 or 90 you shouldn't say things to hurt someone's feelings. (Disclaimer: this is not regarding the elderly who are unaware of what they're saying.)
She is living in a nursing home for a reason!!!!! So she probably didn't know what she was saying or that it was hurtful. I'm not saying it wasn't rude, but people live in a nursing home for reasons other than that they are simply old.
Slow your roll with everyone in a nursing home having mental issues.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
And no, elderly doesn't give them a pass to say shit that is rude and hurtful even if it isn't there intent. So why do you think it is ok for you to do what you are bitching about?
All this talking in sleep reminds me of MH. I'll give you guys a little story time, mainly because I need a break from my paper. #procrastinationstation
MH talks in his sleep. To the point where it scares the shit out of me. He speaks gibberish most times, and I would wake up (lighest sleeper ever, right here) and tell him to shut up. Most times he would just say "shhh be quiet wanderingheart" and then keep talking gibberish. Eventually he would stop and I'd go back to sleep.
But the worst time was about a year after we were married. I woke up because I could hear him almost yelling. He was laying on his stomach, propped up on his elbows and facing the headboard. He was talking like he was arguing, and shaking his fists all aggressively. But it was all gibberish, the words made no sense and they were just made up sounds. I told him to be quiet and go back to sleep. He turned slowly to face me, and just blankly stared at me. I stared back, until he rolled over and faced away from me. I assumed it was over, so I laid back down to go back to sleep. Then I heard rustling, so I opened my eyes and his face was INCHES from mine, just staring at me. He had a smirk on his face, and I calmly just said his name and told him to stop because he was scaring me. He laughed in a mean spirited kind of way, and rolled over again. Yeah, I didn't go back to sleep for a while after that.
He did not remember any of this the next day. I could go on about stories of MH talking in his sleep, but that was the worst one. The way he stared at me gave me the creeps.

Because she has a super obnoxious habit of saying stupid shit & defending it to death, while continually saying more & more stupid shit.

With all this talk about the elderly and being rude, I decided to lighten up the mood. I recall my aunt playfully saying she was "older and bolder" meaning she is more likely to speak her mind now that she is older.
So...I typed in "older and bolder" in google images hoping to find some funny ecard or meme. NOPE. DON'T DO IT. Unless you really like older women.

wanderingheart YH has my sister beat on a scale of creepy-ness. That's both impressive and terrifying at the same time.
Productive day here! It was sooo gorgous out! We got the garden completely ripped up (yay rototillers!) and got about half of it spread with some miracle grow soil (we didn't buy enough at the first trip to home depot... womp womp). I bought seeds for cucumbers, sugar snap peas, sweet onions, two types of lettuce, corn, watermelon and cantaloupe... and still need to pick up some tomato and strawberry seedlings. Going to spread the rest of the soil Tuesday! Hopefully will plant next Sunday, if I'm not too exhausted from New York on Saturday
Shepherd's pie in the oven and now I'm working on lesson plans for this week. I'm so flipping tired. But good tired. I just really don't want to go back to work tomorrow. The next two weeks are going to be busy as fuck.
