The Turducken of Desserts

I have been wanting to make a form of this dessert for some time. I saw it on the Food Network. It's a pie baked inside of a cake!! You can do any flavor pie and any flavor cake. I decided to do a pumpkin pie inside of a chocolate cake for Thanksgiving. It's pretty easy. You need 2 boxes of cake mix and a store bought pie. Take a large springform pan and spray it with baking spray and wrap the outside with tin foil in case it leaks. Then put about an inch of cake batter in the pan. Then drop the pie in the middle and cover it with the rest of the cake batter. Put it in the oven at 350 til done. Mine took about 2 hours. It takes awhile because it's a lot of batter but it's worth it. I frosted it with chocolate frosting and added some whip cream after it was sliced.

3 Fills High And Rising

I had my 3rd fill today and like the other 2, I did not feel it. My boobs are almost the same size now and looking good!!!

Boob Fil A

Had my second fill today and it was just as easy and painless as the first one. She was able to put 50 ccs in this time since I did so well with 50 last time. Right now my left boob is at 160 ccs and my right is at 290, and if you are a star mathematician like I am, then you will know I only need 3 more fills to match the right one (if she does 50 each time). My second surgery to swap out the implant will most likely be in March and I will be able to go back to work in January. New knockers, here I come!

Fill 'Er Up

I got my first expander fill today. I didn't feel one bit of it. There's a lil metal opening on the expander. My doctor takes a magnetic thingy (I think that's the medical term for it) and finds the opening and makes a lil mark on my skin. Then she takes a very small needle filled with saline and sticks it on in and fills her up. I got 50 CCs today and I can notice a huge difference. Now my boobs are more symmetrical. She said I can come in every week to get it filled. At this rate, I may be able to get my implant swap much sooner than I thought!

We also got to visit our friends Frank and Darlene who just had a sweet baby girl yesterday. Madaleine Alexandria. She is beautiful and I was so glad we were able to go see her.

5 Years And Still Going

Tomorrow is our 5 year anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long already. It feels like we've always been together. I don't know what I would do without this amazing man in my life. He has helped me on so many levels and I love him dearly.

We decided to go to dinner tonight to celebrate. Our friend recommended a new place on La Cienega called Barton G. It was an experience unlike no other.  All the food was presented in an outrageous way. As you can see in the pictures below, the popcorn shrimp came in a popcorn machine, with popcorn!! The chicken dish came on a wooden serving platter with a giant metal bird. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

This sweet note was on chocolate

Hey, Boo!

As I mentioned on my FB page, I was very sad this yesterday. I love Halloween and since I was still so sore and uncomfortable, it's the first Halloween in years that I did nothing. Didn't even think of a costume.  I love dressing up. I love eating sugary, spooky treats. I love going to work and seeing everyone's costumes and I love going to our friend's house to watch the husband scare the crap out of every trick-or-treater that comes to their door. But I had to make the best of the situation. I got a bag of mini Kit-Kats and John carved a Patriots logo into a pumpkin. We actually had fun. We sat outside and got to see a lot of our neighbors. John made a really good dinner (although I was too nauseous from antibiotics to eat most of it). And we ended the night by walking Bert down to SM Blvd and we got to see a bunch of people in costume. So it wasn't a total dud, just not what I'm used to.
