One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

Hey Babes! 

This Sunday my family will be celebrating Easter, which means that yesterday my mom and I ventured out to Target to pick up some candy and little toys for baskets. While perusing the candy aisles, I came across this Chicken Coop Cookie House Kit. It is basically the Spring version of a Gingerbread House and I thought this might be cute to build. Oh, how wrong I was. 

I don't have a stellar track record of being able to build Gingerbread Houses. I usually prefer to purchase the pre-built houses, so then I can decorate them. I know where my strengths lie. But, I had the beyond brilliant idea of using Gorilla Glue to hold the house instead of icing. I mean, I am nothing if not innovative. 

Well, apparently Gorilla Glue doesn't work so well on cookies. I had more glue stuck to my fingers than on my shortbread house. Also, no one ever eats these things, so I thought Gorilla Glue was a genius, MENSA idea. It wasn't. So I said, FUCK IT! WE'RE PUTTING ON A THEATER PRODUCTION THAT WOULD MAKE MS. DARBUS PROUD! 

So, I decorated each of the walls for the coop with the icing and sprinkles provided in the kit and the three little chickadees. Then, like the inventive queen I am, I took the cardboard little tray the cookies came in, flipped it over and painted that shit with green frosting, candy bits and yellow sprinkles. 

Note to self, stop wasting fucking money on these projects. This is what I get for trying to be wholesome and cute on a Sunday.
