So at around 7:30 last night, the hubby calls to tell me that they got cancelled on the Lockwood Valley fire and he was on his way home. So everything is well on the homefront. Thank goodness!

Monday bummer!
I just got a call from the hubby saying that they are headed to a fire.
I'm pretty bummed about it. I've gotten used to having him home. He's been home for about 2 weeks now. I knew it was inevitable that they would get called out again. Of course, I was just hoping it wouldn't happen.
There goes wishful thinking!
I miss him tremendously when he's not home. I sleep much later than I should because I've gotten so used to sleeping next to him. The boys also get clingy when they know their dad isn't coming home for a while.
Anyhow, here's to hoping that the time he's gone goes by really fast, and that he is kept safe and away from harm. Amen.
Life is GRAND- although sometimes a bit lonely.

Thursday quickie
It's just been the same old, same old... except that the hubby has been home, so that's definitely exciting, and fun. It's nice to have someone on hand to bounce ideas off, talk to, laugh with. Although we still can't plan anything in advance, it's nice to just have him home. I sleep much better with him around!
This weekend, Nikki and I are planning a bake-a-thon on Saturday. YAY!
We're going to perfect the art of making cookies. It's my first time, so we'll see.
I will also be making a cake for Andrea's birthday, which we will be celebrating on Sunday.
Sunday is fondue day with the gals. I hope to have pictures to post from that.
I think the hubby lost our camera- again- for the seoond time in two weeks though. So we'll see.

Oh,it's Monday!
Long time, no blog.
Nothing of interest has been going on as of late.
Last week, the hubby was home- all week. YAY!
He went to work on Saturday, and then he went to a fire yesterday. He came home this afternoon to sleep and back again at work tomorrow- 5 AM.
This weekend, I did a lot of nothing and it was GREAT!
I had fun spending Saturday morning with Girlfriends who are in my mastermind group (a group where we foster each other's dreams), and then went to my mom's house to hang. My whole family ended up going to church and the mall together. I discovered a lovely new store called Foreign Exchange, and I bought a few things. I stayed within my budget. HA! Shocking, I know.
Then yesterday, I spent time with the family again running errands and eating ice cream. I then spent a few hours on my couch watching TV. I totally feel re-charged and ready for the week ahead.
Last week, I wasn't feeling so positive. This week, however, I am hoping to change that. I am looking at the week ahead with high hopes... because "I believe that the world is plotting to do me good. I can't wait to see what it is."
I don't know where I got that mantra, however, it puts me in a really good mood whenever I say it out loud with conviction.
I did not do any baking this weekend, but will be doing a cake for Sunday for Andrea's birthday.
For everything that has been- Thanks!
For everything that will be, YES!

BIRTHDAY CAKE
This past weekend, I made my second birthday cake.
A cake for my dear niece who turned 15 on August 9th.
Cake was chocolate fudge with cream cheese filling.
Chocolate ganache all over it- with sliced almonds on the side. Blue and Violet candy melts drizzled on top.
Fondant stars, and 15 made out of gum paste.
This cake took me 6+ hours to make. However, it's my favorite cake as of yet... especially because of the colors. Plus, the cake was so much fun!
On another note, things are well on the homefront. The hubby's home. He'll be home for sure until Friday night. This has been the longest that he's been around all summer. I'm so glad to have him home!
