Wanted
Staring - James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, & Morgan Freeman
The anxious, clumsy and abused office clerk Wesley Allan Gibson has a hell and boring routine life: his obese boss humiliates him all the time and his girlfriend betrays him with his colleague and best friend during working period. When he meets the sexy Fox, Wesley is informed that his father was a professional killer that belonged to an ancient organization called Fraternity and killed by the skilled and powerful Cross, a hit-man that has betrayed the Fraternity. Wesley learns that his anxiety actually is a manifestation of his latent abilities and he joins the society under the command of Sloan. Trained by Fox, he changes his personality and attitude, being prepared to face the dangerous Cross and find a hidden secret.
The Best thing about this movie was the action. The Worst thing.. was the constant use of the F-Word. Im not a fan. And there were a few more choice curse words that maybe I could have done without. But I have to admit the non-stop action was fun to watch. There were lots of fight scenes that kept you going. A few things were very unbelieveable, but if you liked the Matrix, then you can get pass the digital effects and just watch it for the awesomeness. James McAvoy was very real as the lonely, misserable, self loathing worker bee. And when he meets up with Angelina Jolie, she wakes him up. They begin as a clumbsy duo where you can tell she is protecting him, while he hides behind anything possible, but after the predictable training, they begin to work as a unit and you can see that he was meant for more than sitting behind a desk waiting for life to pass him by. I really enjoyed this movie, husband loved the action. Give it a try, if you can get pass the bad words..

Xmas Legwarmers
I really like the colors of these. I might wear them Myself!!
These had a pink pom pom on them, I took them off one pair, but not the other!
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Squares
Adding in the foil really helped a lot!!
All baked and Golden!!
I didnt get a shot of them on the plate, They didnt stay on there too long. My Oldest must have ate like 8 of them. She asks me every day if I can make these again. She even called up her friends and told them all about it. Im glad she is happy that I bake for her.
Orange Pineapple Cupcakes
After mixing it all up. It looked a little weird with just the frosting.
So I added a little Orange.
My Husband really liked these. And the kids really liked the "Little Orange". I think overall, Id like to try and make these from scratch. But It would have to be a day where I would run out of all the other recipes Ive been seeing!!

Just to add.. Clean up was fun too!!

Cajeta Cupcakes
Here is what that looks like. I only used about 1/3 cup of this.
The batter for this one was very thick. Almost like cookie dough.
I then swirled in the Cajeta, and it was a little hard for a toothpick, so I used a knife.
These came out a little big. I used all the batter, and it still made 24 big cupcakes. They came out great. I loved the swirl look.
I finished them off with the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting found here.
I really liked this one. The cupcake was a bit dry, but with the added frosting it made it really good. I didnt add a lot of powdered sugar, so it wasnt very sweet. We would really make this again.
