Roses are red...

Roses are red.

And snow is white.

I am, too.

Because #springbreakfail.

Apparently, Mother Nature didn't get the memo that it's March. Or maybe she did, and it got lost in her inbox because...

So the glitch is...snow

Brad Blizzard...not the Dairy Queen kind

I'm glad I invested in some really cool hats from Plato's Closet. I mean, if I can't be tan might as well be the best hipster fashionista I can possibly be.

SNOW DAY!!!!

It's my last "Spring" Break at JMU, and I'm snowed-in in Harrisonburg...but that's okay. You don't get the chance to play in 6-8" of snow at 2AM every day. :)

The wind is really blowing now. Glad I got this blog post up before the power goes out because, let's be honest, it's probably going to go out.

Headlamps are at the ready, though, and there is plenty to read and plenty to eat.

If I get 200 views on my blog today, I'll post an additional five Winter Wonderland pics, so please feel free to share.

The Harrisonburg Farmer's Market

in pictures :)

Harrisonburg Farmer's Market Website

As you can see, you can buy local ALL YEAR ROUND. Check out the market this Saturday. It opens at 9AM.

Cupcake Company Crazy!

Caramel Macchiato. Cookie Mint. Vanilla Vanilla. Red Velvet. Banana Cream. Dreamsicle. Buttered Rum. Raspberry Merlot. Chocolate Overload. If you're as overwhelmed as I am right now, keep calm.

Hop in your car, drive 3 miles east of Harrisonburg, and indulge in a box of cupcakes from Cupcake Company. But before you do, make sure this hidden gem is open.

My boss bought me four cupcakes on our way home from a photoshoot. Don't worry, I'm not a model.

I limited myself to one cupcake a day over the course of two days. It was torture. What was more torturous, though? Having to share half of the contents of my 4-cupcake box with my boyfriend. Sigh. Heavy sigh. Eyes welling with tears. It was awful. I can't talk about it.

I should have eaten the whole box on my way home from work, but then I would have had to go running for two hours, and let's be honest here. I hate running.

My Cupcakes

Day 1

Vanilla Caramel Macchiato. It's like if Starbucks and Betty Crocker had a love child. Delicious golden cake with a slight espresso flavor topped with a deliciously light caramel buttercream icing. Drizzled with a touch of caramel and topped with chocolate sprinkles.

Are you in your car yet? Don't read this and drive...it's not safe.

Day 2

Red Velvet. Luscious red velvet cake topped with a smooth and sweet cream cheese icing. The fondant heart would have melted my heart had my senses not been so consumed with the pure heaven I surrendered my tastebuds to.

And, no, I'm not being melodramatic. They're that good.

The one who shall not be named hogged the Cookie Mint and Vanilla Vanilla (left side of first photo). I would blog about them, too, but he robbed me of that privilege.

Oh well, I guess that means I just have to drive on back over and get me some more cupcakes. I could even bring friends. Emily Romito and Shauna Prentice, I'm talking specifically to you.

Big news ahead. :) 

Maybe I should start a Cupcake Company car pool from JMU? Charge my classmates in cupcakes??!!!! But wait...

They deliver. 432-CAKE.

You're welcome.
