23 dozen cupcakes... and GREAT NEWS!!

Today is Thursday, and it's the last day of the CRCT for Ava.  Thank goodness.  Not that she's been stressing about it, AT ALL, because she hasn't, but I have... just a tiny bit though.  I'm a worrier, while she.... is obviously not.  She tells me every day that she has done well on the test.  She says she really likes taking the CRCT because they get a snack around question 20.  Is this my child, or what?  Taking a test is a-okay, because, hey - there are snacks involved.  =) 

Thursdays are always big baking days for me, too.  This week, I have 23 cupcake orders.  That's right... that means 23 dozen cupcakes!!  For tomorrow!!  I love what I do.  It's so fun to post the cupcake flavors for that week and see everyone get excited over theirs.  I don't have any cakes this weekend though, so I'll have to see what the family and I can get into.  =)  I'm sure we'll think of something.

Do you want to hear some GREAT NEWS??  Do you want to know the best thing that's happened to me all week?  Oh, that's easy!  As you know, I've been on Weight Watchers for two weeks now, and I weighed for the second time yesterday.  I was expecting three or four pounds... BUT GUESS WHAT???  It was NOT three or four pounds..... it was TEN!!!  That's right...

And I'm so excited, I can't hardly stand it!  That makes my total so far - 11.2 pounds lost!  I am extremely proud of myself.  I mean, I'm proud when a cupcake or cookie recipe comes together, or when I make a cake that I think is really cute... but this is something different.  I have really tried to stick to the plan (not that it's hard to do, AT ALL), and it makes me feel good to know that it's paying off.  My goal right now is 50 pounds.  I may try to lose more when that 50 is gone, but for right now... 11.2 is a great start!!
