Insanity and Almost Doughnuts...

I decided that since my life seems like insanity, I would get up this morning and do some Insanity. That was one way to kick Monday in the butt! The past couple of weeks have been a constant rotation of illnesses around here. Max got sick a week and a half ago and while he's gotten better, he still has a nasty cough. Then Jay got sick last Wednesday with a fever of 104 degrees. He had the fever for two days and then when the fever dropped, he got a horrible sore throat. So, this leads us to the doctors office first thing on Saturday morning! Fun stuff. Luckily for him (complete sarcasm here), it's a virus and well, there is nothing they can do for that. Also, luckily for him (again, read sarcasm), he got a couple of vaccinations while he was there. Again, good times! Now Jay has the cough...

This all led to a weird day of being completely off schedule with meals and that led me to the kitchen to play with my new toy. I broke down and got a Wilton doughnut pan! Everyone seems to be baking doughnuts lately and I have wanted one for years. Yeah, years. I haven't had a doughnut in 7 years (probably more than that since I wasn't a typical doughnut eater to begin with - unless we are talking about Saturday doughnuts that my dad used to get) and it's been 2 years since Tony had one.

So, I got to playing. I will say these were good, but they seemed more like little short cakes to me. While not a doughnut, delicious anyway. I know I over filled the cavities, but I was excited! I will be working on them and will report back when I have found the ones that knock my socks off!

As for Sunday and daylight savings time, yeah, I did not really get that extra hour. When you have an internal alarm clock (and two cats), neither of these things seem to understand the whole reset the clock thing. Oh well, it did give me an extra hour to get more work done around the house, which I was appreciative of. Some of my paper stacks were dealt with (which if you know me, the stacks can get out of control) and tons of laundry got done! Maybe no one will have to ask me for socks this week!

Then I enjoyed this with tasty beverage with Tony! Kahlua and unsweetened vanilla almond milk go together like peas and carrots! It was the perfect ending to the weekend. I know this week is going to be a bear, so I'm hoping to be on top of that!
