It's funny, growing up I always hated and dreaded Christmas but now with the internet it's just really not as big a deal. In fact, I'm even starting to like Christmas because it means huge sales I can take advantage of. Baby Gap is much more attractive at 40% off. If you're all wondering why the internet make such a big deal in terms of Christmas... well in the bad old days, there were limited channels on TV and so for Christmas all you could see were Christmas shows which if you don't celebrate Christmas aren't much fun. The radio stations use to only play Christmas music. But thanks to the internet and mp3s I can listen to whatever horrible music I want, all the time and with the internet I can watch whatever I want. It's truly lovely and helps make the day less boring. Though honestly with a baby it feels like I am constantly busy every day.
Lately, I've been indulging in Next Generation DVDs. It is great.
Adina gave her Mommy a late gift of A cupcake corder It's an awesome gift and has enabled her mother to make her dream cupcakes, chocolate with lemon curd filling and chocolate frosting. Yummy! I guess if we were having company I could try to get fancy with decorations but they're just for our enjoyment. Pictures may follow. I've been using Martha Stewart's Cupcakes, another gift I received. So far the cupcakes might be a little greasy in terms of the pan, but taste moist and delicious and the frosting is very yummy and not too buttery. I love Rose Levy Beranbaums cakes, and one of her recent ganaches inspired me, but her buttercreams seriously taste like super sweet butter. Mommy also got a scale, in an attempt to stem the tide of weight gain. This does not go well with cupcakes in the house.
I am so not looking forward to tomorrow's snow Particularly since we are out of garbage bags so I really sort of need to go out to buy them in the morning. Meh, I so hope we don't get more than 6 inches. Though I've already been making jokes about pictures of Adina in her first snow.
( And a few baby pictures because who doesn't want to see my baby? )
