The cupcakes that failed

Or should I rather say the cookie dough that failed. This week the challenge was Flag Day. My idea was to make plan white cupcakes put some vanilla frosting on them, and the back some sugar cookies decorate them and put them in the frosting. I have well over 100 cookie cutters.



I had decided to use. Bag of add eggs and butter cookie mix. This is were the issues started. I never should have I should made my own dough. It wasn't able to hold the shapes. I thought hmmm all just refrigerate these and make the cookie the next day.

Well the next day showed up. I had just this awful experience with some rude person at the store on my way home from work. I was on the phone with number 6. I was in line at the self check I was waiting for one to open. Well there pretty cramped and aren't designed for each to have there own line especially with shopping carts and more then one person at each register. It was two registers wide two registers deep so 4 feet behind one register was another and 8 feet across to the next one

So there I am waiting a respectable distance from the check outs waiting for the next open machine when  one opens up I start to tell me sister good bye and move towards it weaving around the two people there co shoppers and there baskets. This women comes out of no were and starts to use the check out. This is not OK at all. I excuse myself and tell her I was waiting she proceeds to tell me I wasn't, I was waiting some were else but it wasn't for the register. I explain in a much more irritated voice how there isn't room for individual lines. She looks at me with this look in her eyes I haven't seen since my freshmen year of high school the last time I got bullied in school.

At that point I lost it. I went into this overly defensive place and attack at all cost urge came over me. I just had this urge to slap her face. She was obviously pregnant and I had my sister still on the phone still who knew I was upset and trying to calm me down. I honestly almost cried on the spot.

She did have a child maybe around ten with her. So I told her that I hope someone sets a better ex sample for her children on how to act in public then she was. A register came open I started using that. I was shaking I was so upset. I was talking to mys sister very loudly with the intention of this woman hearing me. She turns and says to me do you want to start something. I said honey you all ready did. She stopped talking. I stopped acting like a puffer fish lol.

Around that time the call dropped I ran my card, grab my receipt  and put my things in my basket. I actually didn't scan on of the items in the basket and had to do another transaction. I almost left the can of sauce just to get away from this woman. See here is the thing I realize this is all silly sounding I am sure. I really  am a push over for a smile. Oops I am sorry I didn't realize. That's all it would have taken I would have said oh its OK, then made some comment about how crowed, and confusingly they were designed and installed.

This ruined the night for me I came home and just was number out. Dad called to ask about mail hours later. He could tell I was upset. He says well next time tell them there in the wrong place, and when they what? He says to tell them the assholes are on isle 10.

So I didn't do cookies, to finish the cupcakes. Today though I was ready, only they still wont hold shape. So I have learned don't be lazy make your own dough.
