Y'all ready to get FUNKY?!
I understand if you say no. I don't know how I feel about someone asking me if I'd like to get funky.
But if it dealt with bubblegum vodka, then I wouldn't mind what enticing term they'd use--I'd be all over that 'ish like white on rice!
I know this isn't my usual cupcake or ooey gooey bar, but that's why I like it. It's different.

A few days ago, Jessie asked me if we wanted to go to his friend's show at a local restaurant. I said sure, thinking we'd just stand around and drink and leave after an hour or so of loud music.
Hi, I'm Hayley and I'm 90 years old.
When we got there, after a particularly delicious Midori Sour at the bar, we found a table in the front row since we know the lead singer and

Vanilla Bean Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have an arch-nemesis.
Two, actually.
And you'll never guess who or what they are.
... Suspenseful enough? Okay, I'll spare you the grueling details and lack of sleep since you're dying to know (you were dying to know, right?!)
Baked potatoes and chocolate chip cookies.
Yup, two food items I absolutely LOATHE. Not loathe eating, but loathe

So let's get one thing straight, mmmkay?
I am kinda sorta scared of the dark.
And by "scared of the dark", I mean I'm positively PETRIFIED of the dark when I'm alone... in my house... because that's obviously the perfect setting for a sexy teen scary movie in which said sexy teen (me) is tortured mentally and physically by some mask-wearing psychopath in my own home

Rainbow Pinwheel Party Cake
My current obsessions:
Cucumber melon candles--I feel like I'm living in a gigantic honeydew.
Gerbera daisies, per usual. The brighter the better!
...but tulips are having a Hayley moment as well.
Breakfast smoothies with peach in them, which is weird, considering I loathe peaches.
The banana bread French toast I made for breakfast over the weekend with

I don't know if any of you are Walking Dead fans, but the show is pretty much the glue that bonds me, my brother and Jessie together. When it comes to zombies and those crazy-annoying characters, we love it...
to DEATH.
Whatever.
Well, they do. I want so badly to love it to death but honestly, the horrible main characters are what holds me back. The blood-thirsty,

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake
Disclaimer: This is easily THE richest, most decadent thing I've ever made, tasted or laid my eyeballs on--figuratively, of course. Though if I could actually lay my eyeballs on it, I probably would. It'd be like laying on a smooth, velvety blanket of happiness.
Everyone loves velvet happiness blankets.
Normally, I really despise making cakes. They're super hard to frost,

In a few days, Jessie and I are going to San Francisco!
I'm so excited.
I love the city.
(FYI: people in Northern California refer to SF as "the city." It's our more-hippie-version of NYC)
While I'd like to pretend I know exactly what I'm doing and where we're going, I don't. My navigational experiences in SF have all been by pure luck as I mapped out exactly

Grandma’s Coffee Cake
Sentimental post alert.
I want to talk about my Grandma Marjorie.
She was my mom's mom and she was a very interesting lady, to say the least.
Growing up with a family who'd lived and survived through the Great Depression (and being child #7 of 8), she never had new things or nice things. She had to use hand-me-downs or share, and somewhere in this lifestyle she

I always thought it'd be cool to be a psychology major, but I never really wanted to pursue a psych-related career, so I never went for it.
I think I'd be a pretty good psychologist. I like to psycho-analyze people (read: I like judging people). Getting paid to judge people and point out their flaws? Sign me up!
Well, I happen to have dissected a new breed
