I have to say it. I just about never am satisfied with desserts from Spot Coffee and never have been. Ok the one thing i kinda like is the smore thing but otherwise there is always something off about them. Me, (e:paul) and (e:libertad) went to the Delaware spot last night which I hadn't been to in forever, which reminds me does anyone know when the elmwood spot opened because I remember always going to the Delaware Spot when I was younger and can't imagine why if there was an elmwood one, was there not one? I really can't remember at all , and I can't remember when we switched over to the elmwood one. Anywho, so i got like this chocolate , strawberry dream cake and it was no dream, It was like ok plain chocolate cake , no like under average chocolate cake I don't want to even call it ok, and like ok whipped cream. Their chocolate chiop cookies have on more than one occassion tasted like sausage ( i am no tthe only person who thinks this, ask (e:jill) or (e:mk)). So overall, i like spot but its desserts are better left in the case! I always want to like them and so i order them but i am always left bitterly dissappointed!

Possible New JobSo i have the possibility of a new job prospect which while it is not my dream job by any stretch would be a step up from what i am doing now. The really bad part though is that i am totally screwing over my current work if i start when my new job will possibly start. I hate to say it but i really basically run that place and they could not replace me in the next two years! I mean weeks, but prolly even in 2 years they could not replace me. I originally thought the new job was gonna be 330 til midnight so i could work my old job some mornings but now that is not the case and it is 10-630 which leaves me no time for my old job really. So i don't have the new job for sure yet but I think i probably will get it. We'll see. the ohter bad thing is we have a trip planned to (e:libertad)'s mom in florida in july and they have a no days off for 3 months policy so I have to talk to them about that b/c like I already have my ticket and dave has his vaca then and stuff and it would be almost at the end fo the 3 month period. So we'll see, wish me luck.

Not At MarcellasWhy aren't there performances at Marcella's like tihs with back up dancers and what not..that would be fun. Though Marcellas' performances do occasionally involve a full sub being flung aroudn with lettuce everywhere which is fun too........Here's a little something from my 2 favorite RuPaul drag race contestants..
she even has a music video

My Favorite Product -So me and my mom are doing an extensive home versio nof Clean House minus the Nicey host and home make over and television celebritiness of it. We are both pack rats and decided we have to rid ourselves of a lot of stuff. It clicked for my mom after she realized we had so much stuff of my grandmas still at her house and she passed away 3 years ago. So needless to say it has been crazy going through and gettin rid of stuff, literally i would say we have about at leat 1,000 greeting cards to get rid of (some charities take them and reuse the front part, i am not sure they realize how many they are going to get, i think it will be a lifteie supply)! My mom just threw out our baby crib (the width of the bars are illegal now cuz they are too far apart and dangerous). I finally parted with my collectio nof paper bracelets they put on your wrist to prove you are 21 (each with the event and date listed on the back) and so on and so forth but we came across this gem of a product...
we bought it for my aunt and uncle as a gag one year and it has been passed around my family every since. So you think what is so funny about a doughnut express?.....
Well what is so funny is that NOWHERE ON THE BOX OR DIRECTIONS does it include using the doughnut express. the instructions very nicely give e you directions on how to make a donught by like makuing dough and rolling it out and cutting it and stuffing it and stuff. NO PART inside or out involves the doughnut express. It is so hilairous to me! I love it!!! Like it tells you how to make things wihtout using their product. No step involves batter dropping or any express doughnut machine! I love it, i don't think i can part with this one...
I am having a garage sale in the summer at (e:libertad)'s house to get rid of a lot of this stuff, there will be plenty of gems like the Highschool Musical Mystery Date game unopened, a safari hat, a motorized tie rack, abou 12 differetn radios that look like cellphones, and that's just the beginning!!!!
I'll leave you with this

The "As seen on TV" brands are all such frauds. I think putting "as seen on TV" translates to "Warning. This product is a bogus. Meant only for people who believe in unicorns."

LOL - What is it for then? Does it have that instrument that is on the cover or does it just have doughnut flour inside?
ALso, do you have an old but functional stereo receiver for cheap? I really want bookshelf speakers for my computer but they need stereo receivers and I can't find cheap good ones. The ones they make nowadays are ultimate pieces of garbage. I used to have many of these lying around at home but alas, I can't find any at garage sales around here.
When is this sale? Would it be on this Sunday?

RuPaul's Drag Race- Sashay AwaySo I love the new reality show RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo. It is like sorta America's Next Top Modelish but with Drag Queens and lesser prizes! Putting drag queens in a reality show is a great idea and i love that at the end of each episode the lowest two girls have to "LIP SYNCH FOR THEIR LIFE!" , it is quite entertaining. I think they could have maybe found some little more interesting people but it is still really good. They all have very different styles and it also like you don't necessarily know who will get voted off each week. Sometimes it is surprising!
You know its good because it is one of only very few shows that both me and (e:libertad) like. We generally like different kinds of shows but we both love this one which is nice. Unfortunately it is on on Mondays, and so he and his roommate Steve get to watch it on Mondays when it airs and i have to watch it on dvr later in the week cuz i work all day mondays. I am so jealous of them watching it! It stinks that we don't get to watch it together since we both like it. I hate waiting all week , knowing they already know what happened and i don't. But if any of you get Logo you should check it out or rent it on dvd when it comes out....i think it is almost the finale

SORRY!! I totally thought that after I made the comment of who was booted off recently, but then I remember that (e:mike) said it appeared to be the finale, or getting close to? I hope I didn't ruin anything. There is a little extra interesting nugget of how it happened to Shannel if you guys didn't see it that I haven't divulged!

Great tiny, you ruined it for everyone! JK. Don't worry mike I was so exhausted last night that I just ended up going to bed 1/4 of the way through. I will tell you that nobody gets sashayed away though.

(e:tinypliny), that is RuPaul.
(e:mike), this is hilarious that you mention RuPaul's Drag Race. I did not know it existed until last week. I couldn't sleep, I flipped through the channels and found a marathon of this show. I watched several 'ladies' 'sashay away'. I think Shannel had just been ousted from the race, which left, Rebecca Glasscock (haha, Nina Flowers and Bebe. The challenges are entertaining and RuPaul still has it. I have to somehow stay tuned now.

So who is the person in the photo?
So who is the person in the photo?
so go on over to Chocolate Bar :)
I get their scones - that is about it. If I want biscotti I'll go to Dolci. I haven't had one of those pieces of cake in 5 years.
Totally agree. I did enjoy their giant Rice Krispies treats though. But that's hard to ruin. I always wanted the cookies to be good but they just weren't. :(
That is dead on - always disappointing
I never thought they were ever good- they look yummy, then they taste mediocre. Sometimes I still go for a cookie, though.
They look so good in the case, and have always been a little wanting. I steer clear, but at the other end of the spectrum our namesake sandwich the Mike, always gets the day rolling right.
Thanks for the warning. I always look at those desserts and after I leave, I often wonder if I made a mistake by not getting them with my very rare coffee there (I like their Java coffee shake). I needn't wonder any more!! :D
