Just for kicks!

(Ok, I totally stole this from Trish's blog... or borrowed, since I told her I was posting it as well)

A Grand Wednesday!

We got the letter that said we'll get the call that we've been waiting for.
The hubby doesn't know yet since he's at a fire. I CANNOT wait to tell him.

All I Want...

Is to be taken care of at this moment.
I haven't ben feeling well. Not since last Thursday.
I still don't feel 100% today, and it's already Tuesday.
I really want the hubby to come home. Or at the very least to give me a call.
I'm miserable. My body is achy, and I'm longing for some sort of comfort.

Life is GRAND- though sometimes my needs aren't met.

Ladies Night

At the Canyon club this past Saturday with the gals, and Tom... while Debbie took the picture.

Bummer Sunday!

Asides from still having my killer migraine- which I've had since last Thursday, the hubby got called out to a fire. Thus, leaving me and the boys at home, alone for a maximum of 2 weeks. Hopefully it's shorter than the 2 weeks. Of course, being the sissy that I am, I cried over this. I've gotten used to having him at home, and have enjoyed every minute of it. I can't bear the thought of not sleeping next to him at night, or waking up without him, but alas, here I am.
I just hope that the next few days go by really quickly so that my heart will once again be at peace- and of course extremely ecstatic.

Life is GRAND- except it just threw a curveball at me.

blast from the past

So I've totally lagged and didn't post pictures from Andrea's birthday celebration.
After much waiting, here are some pics from cake at my house to fondue.
Here's Andrea's birthday cake... chocolate chip cookie cake with cream cheese frosting.
Letter A made out of candy melt. Flowers made out of fondant with dragees, courtesy of my lovely husband.

Here's a sliced picture of the cake...

Here's Megan at the house... Smile Megan!

Here's a pic of Megan and Andrea at The Melting Pot.

baking adventures

Whenever the hubby's crew is home, someone is responsible for lunch on Sundays. This past Sunday just happened to be the hubby's turn. He decided he would make pizzas- so we bought tons of dough from Trader Joe's and a bunch of different things for toppings. He also asked me to make a cake. I had to make a sheet cake- my very first one. Here's the result...

white sheet cake with bavarian creme filling and chocolate buttercream frosting.


Here's the close up of the logo. All hand piped. Definitely took me hours, and left me with a cramped hand.


I also decided to be nice and threw in some sugar cookies.



They both got rave reviews! I hear that everyone loved it.

I had left over Bavarian Creme, so this is what I did with it...
