Dear News Crew,
Dear Ankle,
It’s time you suck it up and stop hurting. I have given you 4 weeks of rest. In return, you have allowed the brownies and cupcakes to take up residence in places I don’t like. I have decided to make you go back to the gym, so don’t even try to start hurting again because I’m not listening.
Love,
The Exercise Deprived Lady with Cupcake Buns
Dear Elliptical,
Why do you always cause me to think about cookies and cupcakes when I visit you? Next time I am there, please make sure to fill my head with visions of salad instead. Thank you for helping me out with this weakness of mine.
Love,
The Lady with Cupcake Visions

I’m relatively new here and after scanning through all of the amazing looking recipes I’ve come to the conclusion that the fact that I just joined Weight Watchers Online was NOT well timed lol. ;0)
Eek, I love your stories
seriously–I wish my family was as inventive as your husband when it comes to finding things to eat. I cook dinner nightly, and when I want a night off or something, they claim there’s nothing to eat when there’s seriously a pantry FULL at all times and a freezer full. You can’t have a hotdog!? What gives?!
Also, I love you’re obsessed with pumpkin because that obsession leads to deliciousness like this!
Oooo girl…you know I love these too. Adding to the growing list. I’m on the pumpkin kick lately too. Just can’t get enough!
Oh, these look good! I found you via Happy Hour Link party and am a new follower! Thanks, Shelly
I love yor header! This post made me lol and smile at the same time! You should link up to my Sunshine project with this post its so Sunshine’y! Um tell your pooch to not bite the mailman no matter how freaky they look sometimes lol ours looks like the one from the Crazy Town movie and our mail reeks of cigars lol! Oh and we don’t get it til like six in th evening ha! I am loving the looks of those cupcakes. I have never tried anything pumpkin accept seeds but those make me want to try them! I love this post! I hope your ankle gets better! I will totally try to link up I am doing the Halloween Party for Kelcee’s class and have lots of cute ideas up my sleeve thank you pinterest ha! xoxo
this looks so good! i love all the yummy chocolate and pumpkin combination topped with the cheesecake! don’t you hate when people show up unexpectedly? it’s ok – you can give them these cupcakes
Thanks:-) I’m not sure I want to encourage people to stop by unexpectedly by sharing sweets…although that is a good idea.
Okay, this post made me giggle! Also, I’m glad that you admitted that you’re not quite over pumpkin yet because I’m not ready to give it up yet. These cupcakes look AMAZING. I love the chocolate/pumpkin swirl, and then the cinnamon swirl topping??? I die.
I thought I was over it but I was so wrong. There are still quite a few more pumpkin recipes that I have to share! And the frosting on these was probably my favorite part:-)
Ha ha very funny post!!!! So the elliptical makes you think of cupcakes? Looks like you came up with the perfect cupcake then! I mean this has pumpkin and made with yogurt!!!! It’s health food!!! Mental health at the very least! These would make me happy!
haha yes, I think about sweets just about every time I work out:-) It is a real problem. I like the way you think…these cupcakes must be healthy because they have yogurt in them:-)
I’m liking this flavor combination for cupcakes.
Jocelyn,
Too cute! I love this post. You should be writing books! How fun would those cookbooks be with your wit and stories? I’d buy the lot of them. I’m posting this deliciousness on FB and Pinterest and making them soon. Thanks for sharing
Michelle
My husband ran across these and started drooling. Going to try and make them soon. Awesome photos by the way! Cheers
Thank you so much!!! I hope you enjoy the cupcakes as much as we did!!
OMG…cupcake buns? That is sooo stinking funny!
cheesecake batter, chocolate batter… I love the sounds and looks of those two swirled together into a cupcake Jocelyn! And pairing it all with PUMPKIN! You are a gal after my own heart! I just made pumpkin/chocolate cookies last night.
LOVE the two together!
Pumpkin and chocolate together is really my favorite way to eat pumpkin too! I can’t wait to see your cookies:-)
Congrats on the move! I will still be following – don’t want to miss out on a thing, like these wonderful cupcakes!!
I’m glad to hear you will still be following:-)
pumpkin, cheesecake, chocolate – all in one adorable cupcake. Yes, you have all my fave flavors going in one!
These are three of my favorite flavors too:-) Gotta love them all together!!!
ACK!!! This is so funny! Say, I did a whole pumpkin, chocolate cheesecake thing too! LOL!! Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me that sweet comment!
I may have just fallen in love with these cupcakes! I cannot wait to read all your other posts and then try to find something in my pantry right now to satisfy the craving you’ve caused. Tomorrow will be a baking day!
I hope you were able to find something sugary sweet to eat and hooray for baking days!!!
I think that I have written very nearly those same letters in the past few weeks. All except the dog bitting one…. my guys are so little that they couldn’t get their teeth around an ankle! BTW these cupcakes look like they are to die for!!!!
It’s so fun when you get started writing these funny dear john letters!
Jocelyn, what a fun post!! And the cupcakes look amazing, will have to try.
gah… these look fabulous! I’m officially in full pumpkin mood!
Jocelyn – these look fantastic!
Hehe, sorry the news crew visited. I always find that I end up seeing people I know on the days where I just haven’t made too much of an effort in the makeup or bad hair day department! And yikes on le dog biting the mail woman!
And the goods, how could you be over pumpkin when it’s been so good to you? I’m totally digging the chocolate cake layer on the bottom with the pumpkin cheesecake goodness peeping over. And that frosting? To die for!!

My dog nipped at the groomer, so she is now a 2nd class citizen. Maybe I should make your chocolate pumpkin cheesecakes to drown my sorrows over my dog. I’ve just started my baking with pumpkin for this year.
