Well, I'm all caught up. Easy to do since it was super slow here this weekend. One of those rare times when everyone has a life I guess.
I woke up at 6 this morning and decided to make more balls! They've been a hit with everyone who's tried them so far, so I wanted to make different varieties to send in with Ruben to work.
I made 5 cakes this morning.
Red Velvet cake blended with cream cheese frosting.
French Vanilla cake blended with vanilla frosting.
Pineapple cake with pineapple pieces, coconut and macadamia nuts, blended with coconut frosting.
Carrot cake with raisins, pecans, and coconut, blended with cream cheese frosting.
Yellow cake blended with chocolate buttercream frosting.
Some cakes were from scratch, some a mix. Same with the frosting.
I am freezing the balls now and then I'm going to bag them up and dip a different one each day this week to send in to his work. We'll see which ones they like best.
Here is a pic of the ones I made the other day. I experimented with size, and I prefer the bite size ones. I have no clue if this is what they are supposed to look like or not. LOL And I need a better way to drizzle the topping over the balls. But for the first time, I think they came out ok.(They tasted good anyway, even if they look funny.)
One is cut open to show the inside.
Anyway, enough ball talk. I hope you all have a good day today!! Catch ya later.

Cone?
You can do it!Beth - you wanna come to my place and make my guys some balls?? It's nice and cool here............. They would love you forever (no way can I bake - not a good plan
They better. LOL We had nine kids in here last night dancing, singing, laughing and screaming for three hours.Oy!
Ah, but it was so much fun. The kids had a blast!! They played guitar hero, then danced, ate pizza, and danced some more. At one point they discovered how highlighter markers shows up really cool under the black light so they were drawing graffiti all over their arms and holding it under the black light.
I also have this nail polish that goes on clear, but glows under the black light, so the girls all did their nails. They were trying to convince the boys to do it too, but they weren't having it. lol
I think their favorite though was the strobe light. They had so much fun putting it on different settings, cranking up the fog machine and then making funny dances.I just sat there and watched, laughing my butt off the whole time.
The neat thing was seeing the two older teen boys, who naturally are just too cool for anything, really getting into it. Especially when we played the YMCA song and ALL the kids, even the rap/rock music loving boys, screamed out the lyrics and did the motions. That was neat. Kids are still kids, no matter how cool they pretend to be.
If you get my name in the next exchange, I know what you can send me. 
Aww, so sweet of you Bridgette!
Also I'm glad to hear the ebay selling went well.
..... are you ready.... $607 in profit just in the last week. Are you KIDDING ME?! Can you say J-A-C-K-P-O-T?! 
I have lived here for 13 years and still haven't felt an earthquake. It isn't that we haven't had one, I apparently am too much off on my own planet to notice a little earth shaking. We've never had a big one, but everyone at work will be talking about it, and nope.....didn't notice a thing.
What does that mean about me?
I found out something alarming on Satruday. My boss just sold her business. I only found out because I was still at work far after work hours working on charts, and in she comes with the buyer's dad and an inspector. She never even told us she was selling.
Now, don't get me wrong, the place could SERIOUSLY use some new management, but don't know what this will mean for my job. I work part time, he apparently said he will keep everyone, but talk is cheap. I am trying not to freak out, because there is nothing I can do to alter the course, but egads!!! I was going to finalize our plans to go to WDW during free dining in the fall....not a good idea if I am jobless!!!
I am the only one at work who knows...and I am sworn to secrecy until the rest of the staff is notified. I am about to EXPLODE with the knowledge.
It will be really hard to get a new job since I am so old....places don't want to pay for my experience and/or think I am behind the times.
I guess I am telling you guys since I really need some hand-holding!!
