Mom's are the best.

Tuesday, September 3, 2013

Yesterday T-bone said I was the best.  And gave me a kiss.

I need to bake him a cake.

I have been looking and google-ing for this recipe for years now.  About 13 to be exact.

I am the one who found it originally, but WHO kept a copy?

My mom.  That is who.

Mom's are the best.

I made this cake with my mom for our February Engagement Party.  Which was a BLAST!!!

Enjoy!


And here you thought I would post about the First Day of School. Pfft.

I lied.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

I am so very very sorry to have to tell you this, but you see.

I lied.

I lied like a rug.

I was so untruthful with you all that I feel the need to shower.

Really, it is HORRIBLE what I have told you - and how wrong it was to do that to you.

You see, in reality.

What I really need to get off my chest is that....

I want THIS for Valentine's Day.

I feel shame.

Forgive me.

What?  I got a enamel dutch oven for Christmas last year.  Why not?

Hello Big, Deep, Dark and Handsome.

Valentine's Day - What do I want?

Tuesday, February 5, 2013

T-bone asked me what I want for Valentine's Day, he was thinking new computer for downstairs, but forgot I got my new laptop - so I am not up for that ploy!

I don't really need anything.

I do like the following ideas:

Lisa Leonard
Pretty!
If money were no object! 
Just not positive I want an iPhone.
What do you want for Valentine's Day?

p.s. Really?  I want a nice dinner by candle light at home with my favorite people.  Grilled chicken or tuna - a big salad - some rice or crusty bread.  That is all.  :)  <3

I should have taken a picture this morning! DARN..well, she was wearing this dress.

That is a lovely photo of two girls who play together really well...have ever since they were little.  I mean they met each other when Boo Boo was almost 2 months and Ms. K was a few weeks (or was it days?  I think I was on maternity leave still...) old.  :)

Boo Boo is wearing that lovely little clearance frock from Hanna Anderson (I LOVE Hanna Anderson - Auntie Lois got her the first dress from there...adored!) for her Valentine Party at Pre-K.
They do all the "bad" stuff at her Pre-K, cuz its not public. 
Christmas Party - YUP!
Will they talk of Easter? 
Am I a blonde Lutheran Norwegian?
Yes and You Betcha!

Wait, why was I writing this post?  Oh yeah...last night.

Anyway...last night.  Last night was weird.  My group for my class got together at our usual time on Wednesday and it was a MARATHON session of over 2.5 hours to make decisions for our fake company.  One person in particular was fighting, fighting, fighting to keep our camera price HIGH.  Ummm, for THREE WEEKS the system has told us our weakness is a high priced camera.  HELLO!  We have DECLINED over the last three weeks.
drink the kool-aid, we are lowering the price.

I was kind of jazzed up by the session and needed to work on my other paper for the online discussion so I did not get up to my room until 9:30.  By then Boo Boo and T-Bone were pretty out of it...T-bone kept drifing off and snoring, I was waiting for Sair to make it home from the DB's wrestling meet. 
I just was NOT ready to nod off...
plus, T-bone brought home these chocolate covered mini-brownies.  I tasted one and quickly got a second to have with a teeny glass of Five Rivers Pinot Noir.  CURSE YOU GENERAL MILLS sending those treats home with hubby...and I cannot even BUY THEM YET!!!!  Argh.

I watched the re-play of Sheer Genius, sooo much better than Project Runway this year, and then flipped over to Letterman.  Sair was home, thank goodness, because Jessica Biel?  YAWN!  I was ready to rack out.

All this time Roofis is laying on my legs...I do not know what has been up with him the last 12 hours or so, but he has NOT wanted to leave my side.  Normally when he is on my legs he jumps down if I move twice, last night he never left!  Not until...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rang out from Boo Boo La La's room and T-bone JUMPED up to see what was going on. 
It was the pee-pee patrol. 

When Boo Boo turned 4 she said,
"I am a BIG GIRL now and us BIG GIRL'S, like me and Ms. K, do NOT wear pull-ups mama." 

But, Boo Boo sleeps as deeply as Lestat awaiting a new dawn in New Orleans.  So, there are accidents.
What can I do about that one?  I have taken away drinking anything after 7pm (don't judge she goes to bed at 8:30 or 9pm.  We have teenagers and that has ALWAYS been her schedule because of baseball/softball games, conferences, etc.)  Really, any ideas to avoid the accidents?

During the comotion Roofis had enough - he took off to hide until things settled down.  Then he nestled back in until I got up to go to the gym at 4:30am.  He would NOT leave me...followed me all over the house and even tried to go out the door in the freezing cold with me.  While I was locking the door he put his little paws up to the window, "TAKE ME WITH YOU MAMA!" 
I have not had that love from him in a year! 

It must be that Valentine's Day is in the air...or that I have filled his bowl with food the last few days.  ;)

Te amo,
ML

Valentine's Day is coming!!!

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

So yesterday I had to make a stop at CVS and Boo Boo La La was given the choice:
1) Go into the store with mommy.
2) Go through the drive through, just picking up RX

She chose:
3) Go into the store with mommy and get a TREAT!

Okay - I will play along I guess...and we go into the store and there is now

VALENTINES DAY CANDY EVERYWHERE!!!

Boo Boo got Lik-a-Maid Fun Dip, looking for a picture of what that is...I found the COOLEST site!


They have a NERDdoodler of all things, you make pictures out of digitized Nerd candy! 
tee hee, I am goofy.

Anyway!
I saw that they had my favorite Valentine candy at 2 boxes for $1 and there are only about 25 kids in Boo Boo's class, so I bought an unopened box of 36 boxes of Sweethearts! 

I think, "What a GENIOUS I am!  I am all done for the Valentine party and its.not.even.FEBRUARY!  We can just use fancy pink and red sharpies to write her name on the box and "To my friend" like all the other mom's have done for the Halloween party.  I am FREAKING Martha Stewart here, well maybe Rachal Ray." 

ahhhh!

We get to the pharmacy counter with the Lik-a-Maid and the Sweethearts, ask for the RX I came in for and the guy cannot ring up the Sweethearts! 

ACK don't open the box, don't open the box...I want a whole box so they do not get pilfered before the Valentine party!!

Instead of helping me by calling up to the front or something -  I had to run to the front, there was a LINE of people behind me at the pharmacy counter now, and grab a single box to bring back...with a very ticked off toddler in tow!
But now I wonder, are Sweethearts inappropriate for pre-schoolers?  The box showed a lot of "KISS ME" hearts...
They cannot really read anyway, right?
