At some gawd awful hour last night I realized the buttercream/royal icing I made on Wednesday contained 1/2 cup more shortening than the recipe stated. Why I was thinking about this in the wee hours of the morning is beyond me.
I got this big mental image of me cutting up the shortening block & cutting it too big. *sigh* It still tasted good, but it does explain the texture issue I had.
So now I have a tub of this in the fridge, waiting for coloring & to be put on something baked. I want to try a couple more sugar cookie recipes I've been finding on my food blogs.
My sister comes over tonight so I can try on my wedding dress! That realization quickly made my day better. I've been having some bad headaches this week & not getting what I feel is enough sleep. I'm sure if I lost 50 lbs I wouldn't feel the need for the amount of sleep I'm wanting now. Saw a Vlog on youtube last night where a guy lost 171 lb in a year. I didn't watch all the "episodes" but he took it quite seriously. I'd love to lose over 100 lb but right now I'll focus on getting more active so I can a) fit into my dress & b) go hiking with my sweetie on our honeymoon.
I just need to flick that switch in my brain to either get up with sweetie at 5:30 or go after work. All this week that's what I've been trying to do & nothing got me to the gym. I'm my own worst enemy.
