Yesterday was a little strange. I woke up to an email saying that I had passed my Latin exam (yeah, I finally retook it), but that I didn't perform exceptionally well. I guess I was in a glass-half-empty kind of mood because I immediately clung to the bad news.
And that's when I started baking cupcakes.
Butter pecan cake with vanilla icing.
And then I ate a lot of them.
No regrets. It actually did make me feel better. I realized as I was chomping away that cupcakes are a great way to stress eat away my sadness and celebrate having passed the exam. Thank you, cupcakes, for your dual purpose.
Keith and I went out for a workout with Princeton Intervals last night. The work out:
2400m, 2 min. rest, 1800m, 90 sec rest, 1200m, 90 sec rest, 900m, 90 sec rest, 600m, 60 sec rest, 600m
Great workout! I'm definitely feelin' it today.
We also watched the movie Flight. That Denzel movie about addiction. Have any of you seen it? It is intense and really, really good. It isn't like Denzel's formula movies (Safe House, John Q). It's more like the movies in which he actually expresses the Thespian art, American Gangster The Hurricane, etc. Check it out if you haven't already.
What is your favorite flavor of cake? Does it help you turn a frown upside down? :)

Good for you for eating those cupcakes. I've definitely eaten many in one sitting before. I love them. It's impossible to just eat one! Congrats on passing your exam! You definitely had the perfect unwinding after some tough stuff. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo true that you can't eat just one! Thank you!
DeleteI am trying to carb and sugar detox after using the marathon as an excuse to eat carbs on carbs on salt on sugar, and now am drooling thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteBut they do look delicious - so congrats on passing and celebrating with cupcakes!
I myself LOVE baking. nothing eases the soul and soothes me like a batch of fresh cupcakes and homemade butter cream frosting. If homemade any flavor cake will do.
LOL, Gianna! Sorry to taunt you! Honestly, I'm gonna need a detox after this indulgence!
DeleteGreat job on the test!! Awesome news. I think baking is a great cure for any ailment. It always makes me feel better!
ReplyDeleteIt is awesome news. I'm more and more pleased with as time rolls on.
