A Little Celebration

 So tonight I wanted to celebrate a little.  See, a while back about a year ago I decided I wanted to have my own business.  The idea of creating something from nothing that could help other people by creating jobs was really appealing.  It still is.  So I've been working at a full time job then coming home to work for myself in getting everything set up.  

And today was the day.  I launched my business, Career Dragon.  The doors are open.  You can take a look at it here:

It's not quite as exciting opening virtual doors as opposed to actual ones but I'm still pretty happy.
I'm also exhausted.  And a little cranky.  And I'm excited, obsessed, hopeful and scared to death.  So I had sushi for dinner.  And a cupcake for dessert.  Nothing calms the nerves like albacore sushi.  And chocolate.  But not together.  That's just gross.

I made the cupcakes myself but I'm not quite confident (arrogant?) enough to try sushi.  Besides, I've been working all weekend.  It was time for someone else to cook tonight and since the dog refuses every time I ask I had to order out.  She's lazy, the dog.  I ask her to help out around here and she mumbles something about not having thumbs and wanders off to nap on my bed.

There really isn't a recipe for the cupcakes.  It's just Devil's Food cake mix and pre-made frosting.  The only thing I did differently was added butter to the mix rather than the oil the directions call for.  It gives the cake a finer crumb and dryer texture.  I don't like super moist, oily chocolate cake so I usually won't eat it.

But it sounded good tonight.  I wanted to celebrate my little accomplishment.  It had to be chocolate.  You don't celebrate with vanilla.  Everyone knows that.
