gluten-free chocolate-on-chocolate action

The last week-and-a-half have been, on-and-off, incredibly stressful. I can't say why right now because it isn't my place to disclose other peoples' business on the Interwebs. Maybe later I will explain it though. But for now, just ask me personally if you don't already know what has been going on. Anyway, it got even more stressful/depressing yesterday, so today I really needed to just have some down time and do some stuff for me.
So, after I got home from my therapist appointment (yes, I have a therapist - don't you dare judge me for that), I showered and baked what looks like a really delicious chocolate cake (gluten-free, of course). I iced it with chocolate icing and sprinkled crushed peppermint on top. I cannot wait to have a piece later - chocolate, in nearly all forms, makes everything better.

Looks good, huh? :)
After the cake, I pampered myself in a girly way and painted my nails, and then I went and had some fun with my watercolors...

Throughout this whole day, I have had the house to myself, which always means I was blasting music - today's artist of choice? Eminem <3 This is my new favorite song of his:
