some randomess

The cat, a crazy burmese cross, brought home another gift tonight. Mouse. Perhaps a native one. No blood. No holes. Just very proud.

Woke up sleep deprived husband to evict both cat and present.

Mouse jumped into held bucket to escape the crazy cat.

Perhaps mouse knew the person holding the bucket was a Buddhist?

Being iron deficient means that you sleep better at night than you otherwise would at 36 weeks pregnant.

Also means that at 3pm you loose the ability to do anything except get horizontal and fall asleep.

Iron jabs make you feel great.

Place the vial in your bra while waiting for doctor. Warm iron jabs don’t hurt.

Thinly sliced capsicum, white onion, roma tomato, zucchini, prosciutto and Italian herbs make an excellent pizza.

Precook your pizza dough before putting ingredients on and everything stays fresh and not overcooked.

It was meant to last for lunch tomorrow.

waddles and carrot cake

It is official. I am waddling. Nothing against ducks but there is something about not being able to walk properly, upright and without feeling like you are carrying several basket balls between your legs when you are 36 weeks pregnant.

It’s bad enough that you only have one sleeping position left, you get heartburn by looking at yourself (no need for food) and I discovered today getting in the car is only half the problem, I only have 1cm left before I CAN’T FIT behind the steering wheel.

Now it sounds like I’m complaining. I’m not. I love being pregnant. I wanted this. BAD. I am looking forward to meeting offspring #3. This is just downloading, or deleting useless cookies (love ya Helene).

All of the above made me feel like it was my duty to sit down in the afternoon and eat a carrot and walnut cupcake with cream cheese icing. I would have taken a photo however that would have involved getting off my arse.

However, I did use the recipe from the amazing gals at the Crabapple Cupcake Bakery. The recipe is in their fantastic cookbook which would have to be one the easiest recipe books to follow. And the cupcakes really do like the pictures!
