Cake Pops and Girls Who Represent Kentucky

I hope everyone had a great week! What did everyone do for New Year’s Eve? We go to Louisville each year to hang out with Taylor’s old high school friends and it was pretty laid back this year (it didn’t help that I was still sick with this cold).

Because I was off for a week (and sick), Taylor and I got to lounge around and catch up on some shows we’ve been meaning to get into. The first was American Horror Story on FX. Anyone seen it? It has some scary parts in it now and then and it’s pretty twisted but we enjoyed watching something new. The creator, Ryan Murphy, has come out saying that next season will be a whole new house with a new cast which is definitely putting a spin on what people think of a television series should do. I think it’s pretty cool and innovative but I will miss some of the characters.

We also started watching The Walking Dead which is a zombie tv show that everyone has been talking about. It’s also pretty good; we’re going to start watching Season 2 next week, probably.

And of course the new season of The Bachelor started last week and it’s a guilty pleasure of mine. Oh, smut tv… Anyone else watch the premier? One of the girls is from Kentucky… can you tell? I’d say it’s because she’s wearing the huge derby hat but her dress is so ridiculously low cut that the big hat isn’t the first thing you see when you look at her. And she’s representing Kentucky.

Now onto my obsession with cake pops; it doesn’t help that my awesome friends and family have drooled over the ones I've made and beg me to make more. They’re enablers. All of them. I recently made some butter pecan cake with coconut pecan icing ones that I thought were delicious. I gave in and ate one last night. I’m making some more tonight for a baby shower I’m co-hosting at work tomorrow. Here are some pictures of the Christmas gifts I gave with pops:

Oh and I’m down a pound! I’m satisfied with that number and I’m hoping it continues on the down. :) I am adding exercise this week so wish me luck. I’m starting small with the EA Sports Active on the Wii like last time.

Stay tuned on how the baby shower goes and the woes that will come with Wii inline skating again!  Have a great week!
