I have completely lost it now.
A lot of you know I love baking, but I do have other things in my life that should get done.
Such as laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking, feeding, diapering, bathing, grooming the dog, walking the dog, showering the dog slobber off of me after walking the dog, etc.
Instead of doing all that, I decided to use my 'spare' time on this.
Hours later my hand, and my brain (why, I do not know) were exhausted and I thought to myself: They better taste good.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and exercise all that butter off of my buttocks.
