Recently I was told if I don’t find a teaching job this year I can quit my job and be a stay at home Sarah. If this doesn’t happen I’m probably still going to be a stay at home Sarah, but in a different state.

This does mean, however, that I can bake a lot of stuff and post on my blog all day long and work on those knitting projects I’ve been neglecting for 6, count them, 6 months.

Oh also I’ll probably have to open up a stand at the Ballard Farmers Market. OH WELL.

I’ve decided to write a book about daycare. I think I’ll finish it, title it “how not to piss off your daycare provider” and send it to most of the parents that I’ve worked with in the past 5 years. Including every parent I currently work with.

So, I disappeared for a while, to a place where I didn’t bake or do much of anything. I did have some recent baking shenanigans, which mostly included the chocolate pie I’ve made a million times and even posted on here, can you believe it?! I took it to Colby’s office but obviously no one really cared too much about it because no one said a thing about it. They’re retarded, that pie is magical.

Washington is, well, still Washington and Daycare is still, well, hell on earth. 170 teachers lost their jobs this morning and I am obviously trying to find a job at the perfect time.

If you have a teaching job and want to quit so I can have it, I’d greatly appreciate it.

As promised here are picture of the Guinness Pilsner cup cakes!

First I would like to point out the midgie butter we have here in Washington.  In Kansas we have sticks of butter and after moving here all I can find is…midgie butter?  I had to google search this great mystery, and this is what I found out!

This was also my first adventure using my new popover pan!

And after a bottle of Guinness later,  you have Guinness Pilsner cupcakes!

1. I will not be able to sleep past about 1am.
2. I will not be going to work at 9, but at 6 instead.
3. I will not have to stay late!
4. I will not post pictures of the Pilsner cakes (sorry Erin, honesty, I’ll get The Boyfriend to resize the pictures and put them up this weekend!)
5. I will not come home and have a giant melt down.
6. I will not forget to go purchase a few things for SOMEONES Birthday that just happens to be come up in about 14 days.
7. I will not skimp on my workout (walking to downtown Edmonds if it is nice!)
8. I will not forget to be nice to the babies.

This morning King 5 on Kong (My morning news of choice) played Neil Diamond. I hate Neil Diamond. The Boyfriend told me if Neil were playing in Woodinville we’d buy tickets. Please Neil Diamond, never play Woodinville. Please.

Last night I baked a flourless chocolate cake for my favorite boys of IT (Mostly just Brian Massie who has a soft spot in his heart for my stationary. SWOON.) Just trust me on this one everyone, don’t make flourless chocolate cake. I mean, it doesn’t taste that bad, but, it’s nothing fabulous. You can live your life without it. Bake a big batch of brownies instead. Trust me on this one. Luckily, I have a bat cave full of IT boys who will eat pretty much anything to test my baking on. They eat a lot of food, just don’t tell them that sometimes I bake really good things and just go ahead and eat it myself. Sometimes I think my body craves the extra 10,000 calories.

In other news there is a piece on the news right now about parking in Seattle, the most notable quote is “Parking in Seattle…It’s a battle.” oh and don’t forget “Reporter: Is this big brother? Police Officer: Is it big brother? I’d like to think it’s Little Brother. If you comply with parking regulations you’ve got nothing to worry about, if you don’t, you’re going to be ticketed, and if you don’t pay, you’re going to be impounded”

I love the news here.

So remember this:
Neil Diamond - bad
Flourless Cake - okayish
Brian Massie - awesome
King 5 on Kong - Super Awesome
Parking battle in SEattle - Most awesome
Getting Parking Tickets - Bad

I bought this beautiful ring in Fremont today from an awesome French Man. I bought a fabulous scarf right along with it. Who doesn’t love trendy little boutiques that are actually super super affordable. Total cost for ring and scarf? $15. Downside? My niece is too big for the clothes they sell. BOO.
