*Girls DL Trip* OLD THREAD

[BillyFan]

Well ladies do any of you remember the job I applied for that had a million steps just to get an interview . Well it's been a week since the interview and I got a letter in the mail that I'm one of the finalist and I have to go take a 3 hour test on May 28th . Okay, I know I really need a job, but this is really starting to become a bit much.

But I am flattered I've made it this far in the process. I guess I'm not a complete idiot .

Good luck on your test. You can do it, Katie!!!!!


Steph--safe travels home. Sorry about your Mother's Day!


Marty is going backpacking for the weekend with some friends, and I'm staying home with their kids. Maybe we'll make some cake balls.

Im with you....I could just eat the cream cheese frosting alone.

Don't deprive him of too much.

Don't worry he is far from deprived.

Good luck on your test. You can do it, Katie!!!!!

Thanks. Have fun with the kids. I make take Katie's idea about the lollipop cake balls and make them with the girls next weekend. I'm sure it'll be messy but a lot of fun.

I like the lollipop idea too. I better hit the store tomorrow so I can make some to suck up to my instructor.

Helllooooo....where did everybody go? Beth has an excuse, she is working with balls! But where is everyone else? Don't you know you need to be here to type funny things and keep me amused at work! Come on now, get it together!

Now that's the Diva work ethic! LOL

Beth, I hope your balls aren't misshaped, and that they smell good!

Well, I guess they do get a little Schewetty, but you can dry them off with a towel, and they're good as new. It really buffs them to a high shine.

Hopefully once you land the job it's all worth it! We'll be rooting for you!

for safe travels home. Sorry you don't get your mothers day.

And you know cream cheese frosting from scratch is the best .

Katie: do you have a cream cheese frosting recipe to share with us? (I love cream cheese frosting)

Thanks Cheryl .

The cream cheese frosting I make is pretty basic (but that's why I like it). You need the following ingredients:

1-8 oz. package cream cheese (room temperature)
1/2 cup (1-stick) unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 pound box confectioners sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix cream cheese & butter in mixer on low speed (works best with a paddle attachment if you have one) for about 30 seconds. Slowly add sugar to mixture (make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl). Add vanilla and increase speed to medium and blend until frosting is fluffy (about 1 minute).

That's it.

That sounds almost exactly like the recipe for the cinnabon frosting.

Once again I had a post but the internet in this hotel dropped.

So anyway I just got back from dinner. I'm flying out in the morning to head home. We were going to celebrate Josh's birthday and Mother's Day on Sunday but Selena had a last minute Girl Scout trip come up the same day. She really wants to go so she is. So instead of a relaxing day for the family, I'll be doing laundry, making a carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting (from scratch), cleaning the house, and getting ready for work... I am so ready for my 4 day weekend at the end of this upcoming week.

Have a safe trip home, Steph!

Good luck when the test comes! Like Stacie said, think of it that way! They just want to make sure they have the right one! You!

Lets try for 2000!!! Im gonna make cake balls Sunday night!

Let's go!

Since everyone is making them, take pictures of your made balls and post them to share!

Not even close. But I may experiment with different shapes and make you some special ones .

Can you imagine all the different balls you will see posted here now?

Maybe that's why I like it so much . Do you have the cinnabon recipe? They must add something else because there's taste a little different to me. Or maybe it's because it's on a cinnamon roll .

Ok, found the recipe

Ingredients
1 lb. Margarine
1 lb. cream cheese
2 lbs. powdered sugar
2 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Methods/steps
Allow margarine and cream cheese to reach room temperature. Beat cream cheese and margarine together in a bowl with a mixer. Slowly add in all powdered sugar. Once all of the sugar is in the bowl mix for at least an additional 12 minutes. When almost done, add in the extracts. Enjoy!

 

[MamaKate]

I think the only thing that the cinnabon stuff leaves out the vanilla.

I swear it was an easy recipe.....equal parts butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar. Then just use the mixer. Let me see if I can find it.

Don't worry about it. I may leave out the vanilla next time just to see the difference.

Well I'm going to go to bed. I have no life and I need to sleep while the baby is asleep.

Night everyone .

Thanks~ I'll give it a try. Maybe it's the margarine that makes it taste better .

[prettyprincessbelle]

I'm watching Nemo and trying to find something to wear tomorrow. I have a BBQ to go to then my cousin's graduation party. And I don't get to sleep in. Boo. (They really need to make a thumbs down emoticon.)

Can you imagine all the different balls you will see posted here now?

Sorry about homework. I have some to get to tonight before I head to bed.

I'm watching Nemo and trying to find something to wear tomorrow. I have a BBQ to go to then my cousin's graduation party. And I don't get to sleep in. Boo. (They really need to make a thumbs down emoticon.

I don't get to sleep in either. I have a final to take on campus tomorrow morning. Then I have to be at the softball field for Taylor's closing day ceremonies. And that afternoon, my BFF is throwing her son a birthday party. He's gonna be two. So I have a super busy day tomorrow. Have fun at the BBQ and Graduation.

Hey, I missed you guys, but little did I know I missed a lively discussion concerning Schwetty Balls. My goodness, these are new to me...I must have lived a deprived life thus far.

Well I had led a deprived life too, until today. YOu are not alone!

My balls are done. That was a lot of work.

Ok.........I wanted the special smilie for this, and could not find it. Phooey! Le's see what I can find.

Stick with this group. You'll learn all sorts of things you never knew. Whether you want to or not.

( I know this smilie doesn't quite match, but I have been looking for Jaunuary' smilie for the last 30 minutes and found this one. So then I had to find the best match. I love this smilie too!)

Beth~ Glad your balls turned out .



The "special" ones I'm going to make in October for our meet aren't even in the shapes of balls, but you'll just have to wait to see them .

Mee too!

Don't worry he is far from deprived.

OOh la la!

Well I hope you are all proud of me. I just spent the last bloomin hour trying to find smiles for fun.

Where is January's smilie???

Thanks! I bought new sandals today and I want to wear them tomorrow and I just walked around the house with them and they are squeeky everytime I walk! Ahh!

Super busy day for you! Have fun and good luck on your final!!

 

[tinkermell]

I'm tired too!

Kaitlyn has a volleyball tournament tomorrow in Fresno.

By the way..........I'm a food snob. Butter is always better! And it supports the business that supports us!

Night!

 

[tinkermell]

Have fun Courtney and don't get any blisters!


Stacie, good luck on your final, and have fun tomorrow!
