This is the third day I haven’t posted for, it was supposed to be every two days. However, I do feel slightly more productive. Yesterday, I organised my University work, and started on week 1 work. Today, I have been scrubbing the house clean for our rental inspection. Bathroom, bleached and spotless. Check. Lounge room, spotless. Check. Kitchen is half way done, I’m over it already. Lunch break and then I’ll finish, I promise.
Something I’ve realised in the last week that I left my first job in a fun bakery to further my Marketing career. I have a job in a medium sized company, that can definitely use some marketing direction. I got the job because of my nearly finished marketing degree, and was spoke to straight away with what I could do. However, then all the management changed and that option quickly disappeared. I’ve tried to do little bits and pieces but keep getting drafted back to my “actual job”. I don’t know whether I accept I won’t get the chance, and do my job well and look for a new marketing job when my degree is completed. Or do I just keep handing them ideas and hope someday they let me run with it and give me time to do it? I have a plan that’s a good four pages long, I don’t know if I should finish it up and give it to my management. Any ideas?

I am so unproductive online, I spend a lot of time online and spend most of it trolling stupid funny sites rather than blogging, or doing anything of substance. I spend my days on Truu Mom Confessions, STFU Parents, STFU Marrieds, and Etsy.
However, I have actually stuck to making a Tumblr for How I Met Your Mother. Slap Countdown. It’s quickly approaching 100 followers, it’s fun! I guess that’s one thing I’ve stuck to online in the last few months.
I have two goals, I need to start posting every second day on taciturnly, and thanks to inspiration from Jenn I want to make a new layout.

Raspberry cupcakes were my plan for today, first recipe out of “Cupcakes” by Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas, which was a birthday gift. However, something occurred which made it impossible without a second run to the shopping centre in one day (which I could not be bothered doing. Paul Anka, my lovely little dog decided to eat the butter.
He is currently looking a little sorry for himself, laying on the couch with a pathetic look on his face. I’m not sure whether it is because of the consumption of butter, or the fact now he won’t be able to steal the cupcakes wrappers after we eat the cupcakes.
So I thought I’d show off my last batch of cupcake. I’m sorry for how blurry the photos are, my iPhone 3G is definitely not a 3GS. This were by far the best batch I’ve done. They didn’t burst open, or burn at all, or even cook unevenly. Then the buttercream icing actually worked and the swirl stayed perfect!
