11 March: a bad habit
well, I have two really bad habits.
1- when I get home from work, I change my clothes and leave them on the back of my computer chair.
2- I do not put away my baking supplies right after I am finished using them... or even the next day sometimes, these have been out since Thursday (please don't judge me, you don't know my life.)
You will be happy to know, they are now put away and not because I could see that blood vessel in Andrew's forehead pulsating ; )

05 March: nature
To quote the Greatful Dead "what a long, strange trip it's been."
Can you believe it? There is snow on my 61 year old sweet gum tree.
I hope this doesn't kill all my flowers that are already blooming. If it does, I understand, Mother Nature is mad at us and I don't blame her!

04 March: where I slept
This is where I started the evening, putting Mya Doodle to bed, but I fell asleep, too.
Andrew woke me up to go to our bed. You can see a grey mouse on the bed, the cats were waiting for us to come to bed.
But in the middle of the night, I heard cries from downstairs and this is where I ended my night.
I'm not sure if you can see, but there are about 10 stuffed animals on the bed,
and yes, they all need to sleep with Mya.
Mya Doodle
Fun times at Aunt Kinzie and Uncle Andy's house.
Where else can you have green laffey taffey before dinner?
03 March: scattered
I was very excited when I saw day three because I looked quickly and read "shattered" and instantly thought "shadoobie." Then I was even more excited because I was painting Mya's nails with nail polish that shattered (crackle):
Then, as I went back to blog, I really read what it said and realized that is was "scattered." So, I had to take new photos of my scattered life and this sums it up. It has my doll from Iraq, my black cat, an hombre from South of the Boarder, two witches, my quartermaster symbol, a flying pig, a sunflower, a note that states 'all my years of education boil down to this: do you want fries with that?' and an important reminder to read.
I got this last weekend with my bestest friend Melissa:
because we do!
I got this when I went to pick Andrew up from basic training:
Every year I go to The Sauerkraut Festival with Sue and Andrew, but Gram used to go with us.
Sorry it is a day late, I will try harder next time : )

E Martha's Wedding, 16 October 2010
I am very lucky to have such a great friend, and even luckier to be asked to be in her wedding. Here are the beautiful flowers I got to carry.
And here is the wedding cake I made as my gift to the lovely couple.
It was a beautiful day, and I wish Elizabeth and Ray and eternity of happiness!
Tuesday
14 year old girl
Tonight I will be playing the part of a 14 year old girl as I will be babysitting for money as my friends go to a concert. I will be watching 2 young girls and putting them to bed. My friend said I could bring a friend over if I wanted to, but I think I will be okay by myself. We'll see how it goes and if I forgot any tricks kids play on sitter.
Monday
Making cake with Mya
Christian called and said he wanted a baseball cake for his birthday, so I made one for him. I had help from Mya.
She was the icing taste tester.
Nothing went on the cake before it was tasted by her.
It was a great day for a birthday, and Christian loved the cake. Happy 9th Birthday!
Lunch with Aunt Karen
I went over to see Aunt Karen and to have lunch with her. I brought Mom and Mya, and she had Kristin, Molly, Laura, and Brady there too. It was a full house, but tons of fun! We made BLT's, had veggies and dip, chips, and Coconut Bars for dessert. (http://www.dreyers.com/brand/fruitbars/flavor.asp?b=136&f=2155)
Below is Brady and me enjoying my coconut bar. He was excited because he got two ice creams.
Then Brady took my camera and did some of his own work.
Mya was enjoying playing in the sun.
The girls were playing baseball while Aunt Karen and Mom watched.
It was so much fun, can't wait to do it again!
Reading Club
Or should I call it the "listening to it on tape" club. Anyway, our book was "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Saderis. It is a great book if you are looking for something to make you laugh. We all brought French food. I brought chocolate croissants that are co easy to make. This is all you need:
Unroll the dough, crush the chocolate and place it inside. Roll them up and cook as described on the container.
This is a great chocolate croissant wine! :)
This is the finished product, very yummy!
I took Kara Sunflowers as a hostess gift, I hope she enjoyed them!
All in all it was a lot of fun! I cannot wait until next month to discuss "The Help."
