Whoopie Diaster... oops I mean whoopie pies and my sunday

So first off I would just like to say that I have been Loving confessions of a cookbook queen's blog. I love it because I am her ha. . . I would rather eat some sour patch kids for dinner than eat real food, I absolutely would rather sit in a big shirt from my fiance's side of the dresser and sweats and watch my TV shows than socialize and I love baking yummy treats ;)

Anyways I haven't really blogged lately because I haven't had time to bake ughhhh!
So I had yesterday off and I was of course sitting on the couch relaxing with my fiance, looking up recipes I would love to try!! I kept looking at whoopie pies and I guess my fiance could tell I was just ITCHING to try some so we made our trip to walmart to get my whoopie supplies and then it was on like donkey kong.
well it could of turned out better :) but hey in my defense it was my FIRST TIME EVER DOING THESE!!

so I didn't know they would spread out this much , it did get better from here but i forgot to take pictures... they cake parts of them were delish BUT the recipe I used for the filling called for 1 1/4 cups shortning YUCK I just can't even stomach the whoopies now with the texture of the filling. . . BUt I will conquer these one day!


But I did manage to whip up these scrumtious vanilla bean cupcakes!!

Oh and I forgot to tell you about the best part of the baking experience I (yet again) set the oven on fire :) oops I forgot that the other day when I was playing betty crocker making homemade pot pies(to die for homemade pot pies I mean crave these bad boys good yumm) I forgot to clean up the spills in the bottom from when they boiled over a tincy bit, so when I preheated the oven my fiance asked why the oven was smoking and WASN'T the least bit surprised to find a fire in the oven lol! (how sad that it doesn't even phase him anymore when flames occur in the kitchen while im in there)

OH I FORGOT THE TOPPING ON THE CAKE TO THIS WONDERFUL SUNDAY...
for the past couple of months we have been awakened many times during the night by loud thumping up on the roof, many times during the night my lovely wonderful fiance has ran around the house in boxers with his gun trying to figure out what in the heck the noise is (it literally sounds like a boogie monster up on our roof walking around) so after hearing it over and over at night we came to the conclusions birds must be getting up under the eaves. . .
UNTIL last night we walked out on our porch to look at our new solar lights we put all around and we look up and something (BIG) scampered under the eave and then growled at us... UGH (at this point i was yelling at my brother in law in the house to get a flashlight and A GUN) i wasn't about to deal with getting attacked in my own yard at 10pm
So the conclusion.. its not a bird... its not a plane ... its a freaking RACOON... Seriously I think this would be a good time to say FML...

The best part is when we purchased our house(about a yr ago) we noticed we couldn't find the opening to the attic ANYWHERE ... so were assuming that its hidden under our drop down ceiling in one of the bedrooms(that the dumbA** homeowners who redid this house put in) So now as I am writing my blog I am waiting here for a call from my beloved fiance to tell me when the exterminator will be here. UGH Good luck to him trying to find the opening to the attic ...

Have a wonderful day I know I will

hahahah
