How To Charm Me


Stress yourself out just a little trying to get the back of the house finished before my 30th birthday party.

Jeremy is not really a decision maker. However, I told him I wanted to have a birthday party and he has done his best to organize the troops. And I love him so much for that.

365/334 - Guard Dog





Bloggy Blog

So, I haven't had the chance to post anything since Thursday. I haven't had the chance to take any pictures either. You know what I have had time for work, work, and more work. That's right. We are back on mandatory OT. Ten hour days, Monday-Friday, and eight hours on Saturday...until further notice. By the time I get home..we barely have time to walk the dogs, feed the dogs, feed ourselves, and take care of any other errands we might need to run..before it's time for bed. It hasn't left a lot of time for anything else. And I hate that, but what can I do?

Actually, I am trying to do something about it. My job has offered a very generous package for people to leave the company. Very generous. My boss said that if he had a choice he wouldn't let anyone go (please see the above paragraph) but that he might not have a choice. So, I've put in for it. Everyone has until the 29th to turn in the paperwork. Cross your fingers for me, people!

My 30th birthday is in two and half weeks. I can't wait! We're having a big ol' party in our backyard. Lots of people get all weird about turned 30 (or any milestone age) but not me. I'm not afraid. I think my 30's are going to be GREAT! I feel better than I have in years and if I get that package..well...that would be...the icing on my birthday cake.

365/336 - The Beginning



This picture makes me think of spending time in the parking lot after school. Flirting without even realizing that I was flirting. Ending up wearing his long sleeve flannel shirt because I was 'cold'. Wearing his ring on a necklace around my neck.

This picture makes me think of sly touches, brushing leg against leg or arm against arm, because we knew something was there..we just didn't know what. It makes me think of first dates and first kisses.

This picture makes me think of beginnings. The start of our life together, full of passion and silly arguments as we started to blend our personalities together. Makes me think how neither one of us probably fully understood what we were getting ourselves into, just that there was no other option but to be together.

365/339 - Cheater, Cheater, Cupcake Eater




So..you want to know how I made these Pina Colada cupcakes. Well, I like to keep my cards close to my chest bbbuuuttt I basically followed this recipe. My cupcakes turned out ok. I think I need to tweak it even more. But first, I have to make my husbands co-worker, Ernesto, a batch of damn chocolate chip cookies that I promised him before Easter. Ha!
