Thursday

the rest of the 31 day photo challenge

Well, I somehow fell off the face of the earth in March and stopped at day 12. I am going to finish the challenge this month! Be on the look out for some wonderful photos around day 13.

Saturday

I made cake(s)!

My cousin, Kyla, saw this cake and wanted it for her birthday.  She kind of gets gypped on her birthday because it is December 25, so I tried to make it super special for her.  



This is a Monster High cake for Avery who is the daughter of a deputy I work with. 


This is a Strawberry Shortcake cake that was made for Aubrey. There were little figurines for toppers, but they were placed at the party and they have yet to post photos of it. 


Friday

WOW, it has been a long time, I am such a jerk! I was in a Covert Robin gift exchange and I had a wonderful gift-er. She made me coasters to rest my martini glass on and boy, are they beautiful! She is Jennet, of Feathered Nest Studio in Albany, NY. Thank you so much!


Also (she is so wonderful she made me 2 gifts,) I have a lovely letters envelope for card delivery. My Gram loved it on Easter!

12 March: hope

I hope my father has a great 59th birthday today.

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!

Sunday

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 : )
