My try at a fondant cake.

Aaralyn just turned 2 and her party was today, so I made her a tiny cake just for her.

Know what I wanna know?

What ever happened to the wise sayings in fortune cookes? This is what I got last week.

"You are going to have some new clothes :) " wtf? Ooookay. I just laughed when I read it. Confucius is running out of clever sayings.

So my birthday was on the 23rd. I'm 23. Here I am wearing my crown holding my...(neice...cousin...???) My husband's cousin's daughter. Aaralyn.



Like father....



Like son.



Ooooo look I pained my kitchen!



The actual color.

Knit Duckling.

OMGWTFGIANTDUCK!!!11one.


Heheh. That was my newest knitting project. I know it dosnt look that great, but it was my first time knitting on DPN's in the round. I think it turned out really nice. I figured it was a good project seeing as easter is right around the corner.
















He's very small in reality.



And I hate how it looks like I stuffed him too much. That's not the case. Thats where I had to go from one DPN to another and didnt pull it tight enough I guess. :P poo.










Mmmmm....ducky likes Iced Venti 3 pump Soy chai tea latte!

Homemade Banana Bread

I am making some banana bread. It is smelling so good.
It is currently baking so when it's done I will get more pictures. Until then...a little tease.































IT'S DONE!!

Pretty new house!

and by that I mean my new house is pretty!
I still have a tiny bit of moving to do, but so far it looks wonderful! Any one wanna come over for brownies? LOL.
I have been insanely busy with work lately. I feel like all I do is work and sleep. Oh and eat (I need to loose some lbs....gah!) But I LOVE my job.
I work at Starbucks and it is so much fun. Last tuesday I sold the record amount of whole beans in one day by any partner at starbucks ever. HAH! I sold 77lbs BY MYSELF in one single day. My manager called the District Manager and told him. He told my manager to buy me lunch LOL. I also got told that in a month when I am up for a promotion I will get it. Sweet!
We are doing this contest at work. Who ever can increase their sales percentage in a month wins a coffee tasting with the COE Howard Shultz and gets a free Apple Ipod Touch. So far we are #1 in the entire midatlantic and tomorrow is the last day!
Nothing new with Mason really. We are teaching him how to write his letters. He can write most of his name now. It's cute because his "S" is always sideways.
Let's see if I have any pictures to upload....hmmm....(can ya tell I'
m bored?) Btw if you read this please leave a comment. I dont think any one does, but Id like to make some friends on here.
Look how tiny Mason used to be!!!










One of my favorite pictures of him.

I'm excited.

I have spent so much money this week it's rediculous.
Yesterday I went out and got a bunch of new shirts, a pair of pants, and a sweet little bathroom set. I also got 4 or 5 things from bath and body works. B&BW is one of my favorite stores, but I refuse to permit myself access to that store because everything is GOD awful priced and I simply cant afford it. But yesterday I had a $25.00 gift card so I spoiled myself. Mmmm I smell good now. Not that I reeked before, but I usually dont wear smell-goody stuff. I got Black Berry Vanilla body splash, Tropical Passionfruit anti-bacterial hand lotion, Sensual Amber body splash, and Coconut Lime Verbena waterless hand wash foam.

The bath set I got had fish on it. It looks very tropical and cute. The soap dish is missing the fish that bounces around on a spring, so I got it at 20% off. Sweet. Then I got a shower curtian to match.

Today I got a bit suitcase cause I am NOT going to be able to carry all this stuff home in the ONE suitcase I brought here. I also got 2 more pairs of jeans. Mason got a pair of shoes (size 10 how the hell did that happen?!), and a construction belt and hat. I got more stuff for my house too.
My kitchen is going to be Margarita themed.
I love buying new stuff for a new house. :) Unfortunately Ive never had the $$ to do so. So this is really nice. I'm excited.

My water broke.

My water broke at exactly this time 4 years ago today. In just 12 hours Mason will have been born.
:)
It's so strange to look back on.

At this time 4 years ago....

At this time 4 years ago I was 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

I had been trying everything to get Mason to come out...nothing had worked so far.
I tried walking to the edges of earth. It was painful...but it didnt do anything.
I tried squatting. Who the hell says that works any ways?
I tried jumping jacks. You ever tried jumping while nearly 10 months pregnant? Sheesh
I tried pineapple. Nope.
I tried sex. It would cause a contraction or 2...but no go.
So I figured Mason was never comming out and I gave up trying.
So tonight 4 years ago I got bored. What did I do, you ask? I shoveled snow. Yeah I'm sure all the neighbors thought Jesse was the jack ass of all jack asses for making his full term pregnant wife shovel snow. The truth of it was, he didnt want me out there doing that. Call it nesting...*shrugs* I was bored.
When the side walks clear down to the neighbors house were done I started working on a 2nd path. I dont know. Crazy pregnant woman. LOL. After I was done I sat down on my stoop to just rest. Thats when I felt it.
My stomach started tightening... I just knew it wasnt labor though, because labor was supposed to hurt right?
Mine didnt hurt at all!
Please keep checking back throughout the night and tomorrow to hear Mason's birth story as it happened 4 years ago.
He's gonna be FOUR already!

Gummy bear

party on my

belly----->

I need some advice.

Ever since we got to florida Mason has been driving me nuts.
I thought at first that he had an ear ache due to the plane ride. But EVERY SINGLE night he wakes up sick. He has a fever, and either his throat, ear, or tummy hurts him. Once he is actually awake for an hour or 2 he's fine. He acts just like his normal self.
This waking up at 11pm crap is really eating away at my nerves. He wakes up and stays up til 5am. I am getting NO sleep what so ever.

So is he sick? Is he faking? Is he just missing daddy so much that is is making him sick? What the heck?
Please help me!

Mason is almost 4. *edit*

How do you add friends?


I am going to try to write here more. I'm loosing intrest with OD. :P

Any ways. Mason and I are in Florida. I am here to take care of Barbara (fostermom) who recently had a knee replacement surgery. I wouldnt mind it so much if she didnt drive me NUTS! The first day I got here I had to clean up 2 weeks of dog poop. The 2nd day I was here I had to scrub the chair and carpet that the dog peed on. FUN! Not only that....but she is EXTREMELY anal. I really thinks she has OCD.

That wasnt the point of this entry. Mason's 4th birthday is in just 2 days. SCREAMS! Where the hell did thoes 4 years go?
This is going to be the first year he hasnt had a birthday party with tons of family. I think what we are going to do is go to church and invite some of the kids from there. See if they just want to come over for cake and ice cream. At least he can have kids to play with on his birthday.
I think I am going to get him a little kitchen set. You know thoes plastic fruits and veggies that are velcro'd together that you can "cut". yeah. He is currently borrowing some from a neighbors grandkids and he LOVES them.

Ooooh! Get this! We are finally moving! WOOT! Just next door, but at least every thing over there is new and pretty. Ever since the sewage damage our floors are warped and stained. It's nasty. So we got the keys yesterday and Jesse is working on getting everything over there while Mason and I are here.
We go home on feb 4th. I cant wait. I'm counting down the days! And Mason is driving me insane! He's doing this crap where he thinks its great to wake up around 11:30m EVERY NIGHT!! Then he wants to stay up til 4 am. I am getting NO sleep at all and it's making me really mad. He's too old to pull this shit. I dont know if it's because we arent home or what....but it's GOT to change. I know it sounds bad, but it's getting to the point where his voice at this early in the morning (2am) is aggrivating me.
*sigh*
I love the little boogie man.
