My List of WTFs

A) Cake Balls
What the hell is this phenomenon, better known as Cake Balls? Where did these balls come from? Last night, Danette called me to ask if I had heard of them before, because apparently she has been seeing them everywhere. Oddly enough, so have I. Just recently. What kind of trend is this?

1. Cake balls are crumbs of cake rolled with icing into miniature balls and dipped in chocolate or something like that. Why the hell would anyone not just make I cake, top it with icing and drizzle some chocolate on top? Or do the same with cupcakes? It sounds a lot easier than baking a cake, crumbling it all up, rolling into some ball and dipping it. It's got to taste the same right?

2. Bakeries don't just make cake balls for the fun of it, I'm sure of it. When a bakery makes a specific designed cake, they shave off some parts of the cake to make it even. Why waste that perfectly good cake when they can make some new product out of it and sell it for tons. If you buy cake balls, you're buying cake trash. It's the leftover trash from someone elses cake. I'm not hopping on this cake ball train.

3. A local bakery sells a half-dozen cake balls for $16. Neiman's sells 18 cake balls for $75 plus shipping. You've got to be outside your mind if you think I'm paying a minimum of $2.66 for one single rolled up ball of someone elses trash!

I agree, great marketing ploy for bakeries, but I'm not falling for it. I want a piece of cake, please. A whole piece of real cake!

2. The Bachelor
Okay, of course it's Tuesday so you're going to get my rundown of what I thought of last nights episode.

1. Seriously, Melissa's parents? Being too private to be on the show? Not showing their faces to support her at any of her games? Bullshit! She said it didn't bother her and maybe it doesn't, but I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't be scarred by some half-assed parenting. And her friends don't know her parents!?!?! What kind of crazy shenanigans is that crap? I'm pretty sure that my friends would rather hang out with my parents than me on any given day, but that's just me..... Whatever, dude!

2. Naomi's parents! That deserves a big fat OMG Cholesterol. There is absolutely no way I would have kept that chick around either, not after her mother made me bury a dove in her backyard. And "we're from the same soul family." I would have run like hell if some crazy broad came at me with that nonsense.

3. I thought Molly's hometown date went pretty well, nothing too off the wall. But that pink popped collar under her sweater. That needs to go.


3. My sleep
All night last night, I remember thinking to myself that my bed is so comfy and I'm so glad to be in it because I'll sleep so well. But I didn't sleep so well, because all I could think about what how cozy I was. How does that freaking happen? Apparently it wasn't so comfy because I surely would have fallen fast asleep and not remembered anything if it was.

4. My computer
My computer has gone apeshit. I'm completely convinced. First it was just my blog and all the stupid errors I kept getting when trying to rearrange my sidebar. Then it's hard to see my 'Older posts' button at the bottom. And now, my computer's entire existence is about to blow up in my face. I think I smell it smoking as speak. ... So if my work computer melts down to nothing, you will probably never hear from me again. Because we all know that this is all I do at work....

I'm going to stop this list before I even move on to the Bitch from the Metroplex. (same one from last week.)

I think Mardi Gras is going to be quite a blessing to me this weekend. I think I'm in an emergency need of a good innebriation.
