First, I need to apologize. I’ve tried 3 times to make a post that isn’t all A.) Negative and B.) Random. But here’s the deal, I have ADHD, and that’s just pretty much not happening today (It gets really bad somedays). So, if you get to the end of the post, and it’s so random you feel you need to be tested for AD/HD, then just let me know. I know some people.

Here’s a quick letter to all Males in the World,
I realize this is a tough concept for you to understand, so I’ll try to say this as simply as possible: Not EVERYTHING that I do means I’m pregnant. If I want some goddamn birthday cake or some goddamn cupcakes? It’s not because I’m fucking pregnant. If I was sick the other morning (3 months ago, because I was hungover as hell but I didn’t want to tell you that) it DOESN’T MEAN I’M PREGNANT. Not EVERYTHING means I’m pregnant.
You know..there are other symptoms that pregnant ladies have, and have you BOTHERED to ask about those? NO! You haven’t. And pretty much? Being pregnant might be close to the worst thing that could happen right now, so exercise a little bit more sensitivity when you ask about it, KAY!?
I mean, when you say you don’t feel good, how would you feel if I was all…Oh! That must mean you need to be castrated! There is NO OTHER ANSWER.
And no female does this.. Every female knows that 1.) A missed period is the surest sign of pregnancy, and 2.) WE DON’T FUCKING ASK LIKE WE’RE ASKING, “HEY. IS IT TUESDAY?” We’re not that stupid. Just because I’m craving cake, or just because I was sick (You don’t even know what kind of sick, I could have been bleeding from my eyeballs for all you know.) Doesn’t mean that I’m pregnant.
I realize that you will never know what it’s like to be sexually active, and not want a child, but in the future? Why don’t you just err on the side of caution, and just DON’T FUCKING ASK.
kthxbai,
Your son’s/friend’s/brother’s girlfriend.

That being said, I really want some goddamn cupcakes. Like, so much I think I’m going to chew my own hand off.
We’ve been eating a lot of salty foods lately, and rarely have anything sweet in the house. And I don’t mean like Chocolate sweet, I mean like you might as well hand me a bag of sugar so I can pour it straight in my mouth and cut to the chase.
Does anyone have a recipe for the best cupcakes ever? I’m not looking for cupcakes I can make out of a box, I’m looking for cupcakes that after you eat them, you have dream about them naked and having sex with you. (Too much? Sorry.) THAT kind of good.
Anyway, point is, I need the best of the best.
I’ve found this recipe, and it pretty much sounds good. I wouldn’t be against anything fruity-ish. The only requirement? That after you ate it, you were all “That’s the best fucking cupcake in the world.”
So, pretty much if it inspired explicatives without you meaning for it to, then it’s good for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This past week, I was feeling quite scatter-brained. Like my life was a huge mess. Like I couldn’t seem to keep my head above water.
And then I realized that a huge part of the problem was the staggering catastrophe that is my house. So? This weekend’s mission was CLEAN YOUR DAMN HOUSE WOMAN. I got about halfway, and then friend crisis struck, and I had to halt it for the day, but it begins again first thing in the morning.
And I’m finally getting around to my January Resolution of getting organized, so I’m guessing the rest of the resolutions are bumped back another month. This is a good sign though, because maybe this means I’ll be done will all 5-6 of them by the end of the year!
So, I’m getting organized, I’m cleaning. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, remember this post? Well, I thought I did a good job, I tried at least.
And Libbs suggested that I submit it to Indie Bloggers.
When I first read that, I was all, “Do WHAT!”
Indie Bloggers has always intimidated me. It’s for all..you know, people who actually write WELL. And if I’m about anything, it’s about not giving myself (or my ..work? Can you call blogging that?) enough credit. And I mean, the friggin’ site says, “Write well. Write now.” I’m sorry..that’s just too much pressure. I CAN’T HANDLE IT.
So, I just read the work on there for a while. Cheered when someone I knew was on there.
And then? THIS came along. And though I’m not sure what being ‘Indie’ is all about? I think that post might fit along with it…I think.
So I did. I submitted, for the first time EVER. And pushing the mouse to click ‘Send’ could have been compared to pulling the trigger of a gun. I didn’t want to do it. I was breathing heavily, I was freaking out.
So, I had to do it without thinking of anything, and ever since then I’ve been kind of freaking out. What if she reads it and is all.. ‘Wow. This is just BAD.’ (I know she doesn’t do that, but what if I’m so bad that it makes her START!)
Which is ironic because the post was actually about gaining confidence. Grrreat. It’s nice to see how far that one got me.
I don’t really care if she ‘picks me’ or whatever. I’m just hoping she doesn’t send it to some Blogging Judging Committee whose ruling after reading my post is that the post was SO BAD that I am hereby banned from blogging. Or writing. FOREVER. (Hmm..Over-reacting much are we?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In summation, I’m not pregnant *knocks on wood*. Though I still want some goddamn cupcakes. And I love making up end of the world scenarios to simplistic situations (You just wait, in a couple of days? The overwhelming terribleness of my writing will soon mean the destruction of mankind.)
Have a good Monday, y’all. Or at least try to.

I can imagine certain men fleeing from this post with their tails between their legs!
I’m partial for some cupcakes too!
Get thee to cupcakeblog.com, quickly. I recommend the devil’s food cupcake with chocolate buttercream frosting – I made it (and even went over my food budget to get the ingredients). It didn’t turn out as in the pictures (no picture-perfect cupcakes for me), but it was delicious all the same.
When I first started reading this post I was going to make my comment a bit of a joke, but now I’m not. You’ve scared at least one man, haahaha.
Haha! This entire post made me laugh from start to finish.
Especially this line, “I’m looking for cupcakes that after you eat them, you have dream about them naked and having sex with you.”
If you find one, please pass it on.
Also, I feel the same way about IB. I submitted a piece and the waiting oh god the waiting!
ADHD? what?
All this talk about cupcakes, my goodness. I AM HUNGRY now! Maybe you could make some and send them to New York City?
Dear lord, now I WANT CUPCAKES TOO!! I hope we both find someone. About IB, I definitely can relate. The first few times I submitted stuff I was so nervous, but now that I’ve had stuff published there, it’s not so scary. Your post is brilliant and I can’t wait to see it up on the IB site. Have a better day dear!
Amen. I hate it when people ask if I’m pregnant. I hate it most often when my husband asks. He thinks he’s being funny but he’s not.
If it weren’t for the fact that I had the richest chocolate birthday cake last night I would probably be cursing you for all this cupcake talk. You must post pictures now
Congrats on submitting to Indie Bloggers – it takes a brave woman to put herself out there!
Who ASKS people if they’re pregnant? That is the rudest question ever. Even if you WERE, if you wanted them to know you would TELL THEM. That is even more obnoxious than asking if you’re PMSing. Ugh.
Good for you for submitting to IB! I hope it goes up.
I just had 2 pieces of chocolate after reading your post and eating my 3rd meal of the day (though it’s only 10am). And no, I’m not pregnant. =)
Okay. You absolutely need to buy the Magnolia Bakery cookbook and make the vanilla cupcakes with the buttercream frosting. I’m not fucking kidding. They are the sex cupcakes you’ve been searching for. I promise you. Many many expletives.
Eek! I missed you! And I totally talk about random inanimate objects like that… I think I discussed having a milkshake’s baby the other day.
Until you get the Magnolia Bakery cookbook suggested above, let me suggest a cupcake recipe from Epicurious. Red Velvet cupcakes: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/235169
The thing here is that the frosting they paired with it is coconut, which I don’t really love so much. So I made them with this frosting: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/102716
Plus, I bought red sugar sprinkles and they made the cupcakes cute.
Seriously, they’re rich and delicious and lovely. And, there’s a part where you hollow out a little hole and add vinegar and baking soda, and it’s a little mini chemical reaction! (Sorry, I’m a science nerd…)
Like your post, my comment might be ADHD.
Ugh, men. That is all.
Darn you, you totally gave me a cupcake craving. I might have to buy a muffin pan. Let us know how the recipe works out.
You’re a good writer, don’t sweat it
B and I went and got cupcakes this weekend from a bakery and he told me that my cupcakes are better which pretty much made me want to dance around. I love love love cupcakes. The site I like is cupcakeblog.com
Argh! Two minutes back I was craving for a burrito, now I want a cupcake. You guys, stop talking about food, I get distracted easily….
I would kill for cupcakes right now. KILL.
Kay I am definitely certain I have ADHD for sure cuz I thought your post was just perrrrfect…
Ummm…..who doesn’t love cupcakes! I think they are quite possibly the best invention of all time. And I hear ya on the pregnancy comments, the same could be said for the “do you have your period” comments. I could throw my husband through the window.
Hey cool, you swear a lot, just like me.
I put something in for indiebloggers and Stacy got all creamy over it but I don’t know when it’s being published and goddammit you better not ask them.
Sometimes a cupcake is just a cupcake. I prefer yellow ones with pink frosting, because I’m so not a pink frosting kind of girl.
For some reason your image of cupcakes having sex with me works.
Disturbing? Yes.
I think it’s something about the frosting.
I’ll save you a trip to the bookstore and some money. Here’s the magnolia cupcake recipe. I agree w/ NicoleAntoinette… in my opinion, it’s the best ever. I once had a Hollywood agent tell me that he wanted to represent my cupcakes.
Vanilla Cupcakes
Serves 24
Ingredients
1 ½ c. self-rising flour
1 ¼ c. all-purpose flour
1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 c. sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 c. milk (you must use whole milk. seriously.)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
(The cookbook recommends taking any refrigerated ingredients out of the fridge about an hour or so before you cook…they’re better/easier to bake with at room temp)
Frosting Ingredients
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
6-8 c. confectioners’ sugar
½ c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Line two twelve-cup muffin tins with cupcake papers.
3. Combine the flours and set aside.
4. In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth and gradually add sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Add dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk and vanilla, and blend well.
5. Fill cupcake liners three-quarters full and bake 20-25 minutes.
6. Let cool fifteen minutes in tins.
Frosting:
1. Place butter in large mixing bowl and add four cups of sugar, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Add remaining sugar, one cup at a time, until icing is spreadable. (you don’t have to use all the sugar…I usually don’t. Just test it as you go and see how you like the consistency).
3. Frost cupcakes.
I like to decorate them with fun sprinkles or you can add a few drops of food coloring to make beautiful pastelly frosting colors. They are delicious and you will be in frosting heaven.
And if you want the chocolate frosting recipe (i’m more of a vanilla girl, but the chocolate is delish) email me and I’ll send you that too!!!!
ahhhh! yay i’m so proud of you! good stuff – and should she pick you, it is well deserved!!!
