Cupcake Challenge!

So number 2 as mentioned before does a weekly cupcake challenge I have decided to join in on the fun this is my first week her seventh. This week the theme is Mothers day! My inspiration is this recipe Roy's mom gave me before she passed. Its for. Pumpkin roll, I decided I'd make it into cupcakes.




My adventure started after I got off work on Wednesday, I went to the nearest super store and got almost everything I didn't have but needed. I even picked up a new toy for Dingo (see big red ball) and some Izzie's for myself.  The store didn't have the papers for the cups, OK well they did just not the ones I wanted, they had some that looked likes Christmas, sports themed, and birthday. I just wanted white so I went to a market.

On my way there I was in the left turn lane waiting for the light when I notice in the mirror the truck behind me was super close, and the car behind me was put onto on common traffic. Apparently they were disagreeing with whom was suppose to be after me. I found this out when the truck hit me. I got up went and looked it was a a scruff mark on the trucks bumper I told the women who it me (who was on o2 at the time she hit me, which is a big pet peeve of mine, if you need an o2 you have a severe medical condition please don't get behind the wheel and hot me). I told her and the other driver they where both acting like fools that there lucky nothing worse happened , so I said was going to go have a good night  and I did! I got back onto the truck and went to the market planned but could find the papers well there was a peg for the, it was just empty. After 20 minutes or so and the help of a wonderful person that works there we found 3 packages, so I bought 2. Lol.
