So many blog posts...so little time...

Holy cow it has been a while since I blogged!  Time really does fly!  There's so much that I wanna blab about, but I know I'll forget a huge hunk of it before I'm done!  Oh well - here's what I can remember...

The key to a Man's heart is...Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf!!!  Yes - you heard right!  Bacon wrapped meatloaf!  I mosey'd over to the Pioneer Woman's blog and found the recipe for this delicious number :)  Good thing it comes with a prescription for cholesterol pills!  he he  DH thoroughly enjoyed it!  (And cuz he's very well trained...he also said he likes mine better! lol  I think he was toying with me, cuz he immediately chased that with a comment on how good the bacon wrapping was;)

Happy Birthday Kate!  I got a cake order from an adorable 9 year old girlie!  I told her Mom to ask kiddo to draw a picture of the cake she wanted - and she did!  I full 3 tier cake with NO FONDANT!!!  Eek!  I really really suck at smooth frosting!  I know a big part of it is my own fussy-ness...but seriously - I really am not great at it - but - how do you say no to a giddy 9 year old??  The top tier is a rice krispie treat - the rest is marble cake :)  It was a ton of fun and she was super happy with it!  YAY FOR 9 YEAR OLD GIRLS WHO LOVE CAKE!!!  :)

Oh!  Did I mention that I had TWO Cakes on the same day??  (side note - remember waaaaay back when I said I was giving up cakes forever??  yeah - well...ummm...I'm kinda sucking at that!)  This yummy number is marble too!  And LOTS of marshmellow fondant!  Aren't the butterflies adorable??!  Kiddo's Mom brought them in for me to use and I've got so much mad-love for these things, it's not even funny!  AND I treated myself to some super cute fondant cutters (circle, stars and flowers)  I really had a ton of fun with this one too!  Youngest kiddo helped me roll out all the fondant balls (and it's a darn good thing cuz my hands were in agony by the time I was done! :(

(side note #2...see Dr. about carple tunnel (sniff))  I'm feeling pretty old these days...my hands are super super sore!  I haven't had to wear my brace in ages, but today...I didn't get to take it off even once!  My fingers are all pins and needles and it aches to open and close my hand. :(  I know I need surgery - I really can't put it off any longer...but good lord!  The idea of not using my right hand for at least 3 weeks??!!  Honestly!!  Is there anyone out there who can imagine me being on the disabled list for that long?!  I'll go stark raving mad!!!  :(  Seriously!  I'm right handed and there isn't a darn thing I can do with my left had that's even slightly creative, that I can pull off with my left hand only!  I can't even hold a book very well with my left hand!  :( 

Ok - so...that's it for now...I know there are a zillion other things I meant to chat about...but I'll be darned if I can remember any of it!  lol

 

If I only hadda saddle...

If I only had a saddle, I could get back in it cuz it's time.  Life has been ridiculous lately and I stopped noticing the every day stuff that I normally find hilarious...but...I forced myself to pay closer attention today and did pick up on a few small things like....

If you are over the age of 6, wearing your power ranger pyjamma pants into Tim Hortons is likely not the greatest idea.

Don't wear a short skirt if you ride a bike to work...an unexpected breeze can really change the perspective of on lookers...and the poor sob in the jetta driving by (who nearly choked on his straw and spilled his ice-cap onto his steering wheel will agree)

When you register your boss for a conference...no matter how funny it may seem at the time...requesting the Vegan diet is likely not as funny to him.

And that is as funny as life got today...I'm pretty sure that's better then yesterday though! :)

Everything hurts

I spent the better part of the afternoon doing yard work.  Everything looks sooo much better, but how come my everything has to hurt because of it! :(  Maybe I'm getting old... *sigh* 

Randomness

Do you suppose that frogs fart?? If they do...how does that look? Does it offend other frogs, or is it a status symbol?? You know...I may very well have too much time on my hands! lol

My very first post!

Well...here it is. My brand new Blog! I've been kinda driving myself crazy (I know - it's a short drive) trying to figure out what my first post should be...I mean, it is - after all my first post! Then I figured - who cares?? Chances are that anything that I do put on here will be moronic at best but maybe - just maybe - it will give somebody a laugh or two...I guess only time will tell :)

Happy reading :)
Me!
