Cupcakes and couches


I was told the birthday girl loved them!
She even ate the cake and not just the frosting.

  • I'm starting to get the hang of making cupcakes and getting a cute not complicated design when frosting.  My man was impressed but really sad he didn't get to eat one.  There wasn't a one leftover.
  • Couch shopping was a total bust.  I really want to go to Macy's and check out their inventory.  They have a grey velvet on line that might just be perfect.  After watching 2.5 games of football on mine today it's time for something better.
  • I don't need a new car but I've been looking just to look.  I found my perfect Lexus for a steal and ridiculously low mileage.  Depending on what work looks like tomorrow I might go check it out!
  • I grilled my man about my family and what he could expect for NYE.  He just laughs because he can tell how much it stresses me out, and he's not worried one bit.  That man is cool as a damn cucumber and I'm sweating buckets.  I'm sure my worrying is all for nothing and it will be a great night out (in my dad's shed frying up every food imaginable).
  • Packers made the playoffs and I nearly had a coronary.  1 more week of football for this fan!!
  • I made a delicious roast with red wine, garlic, onions, mushrooms and potatoes for dinner.  My man was happy and so was I.  I enjoy having his freezer at my disposal, he enjoys having someone who knows how to cook it all up!  Pinterest is my secret weapon to making yummy new meals.  Up next pork chops, ribs and some stroganoff!
  • Last night we watched the final Hangover movie.  My favorite line is still "too-da-loo mother fucker!"  Classic Chow!!
  • Now it's time for bed.   I'm learning to sleep with my man's snoring, but only average about 4 hours to his 8.  He also took a nap today while I cleaned the house and made dinner.  I kinda like being a housewife just not this no sleep situation!

Christmas Wrap Up



From Devil to sour puss to normal baby! Pretty much sums up our 36 hours of celebrating with Boo!

World's Best Gift!!
My sis started in Oct and put on every single rhinestone!!!

  • Passive Agressive Christmas 2013 is in the books.  My parents were fighting and not talking so that was super fun
  • Boo was pretty good, a couple melt downs, but overall darned cute.  She wore piggies in her hair and every time I looked at her I died of the cute
  • My sis pulled off some excellent gifts for me.  In addition to my football I also got a monogrammed long sleeve t-shirt and the Martha Stewart 20 pack of glitter.  I'm gonna make my house sparkle!!!
  • I got to see my man Christmas night and that was perfect.  Everything I wanted when I dreamt about having a BF during the holidays.
  • My man even agreed to NYE at my parent's house.  I was so damn shocked I went into a full on panic attack about it yesterday.  Thank my stars for my BFF and Clint to talk me off that ledge.  Clint made the best point: as a female you know your man really likes you when he agrees to things he wouldn't normally do.  He only wants you to be happy and will go to the end of the earth to make you feel that way.  It must be true, as my man is going couch shopping with me tomorrow.
  • My house if officially back to normal, you'd never even know I decorated.  I love Christmas, but this year I wasn't really feeling it.  I'm happy to have my house back to normal.
  • I got my first ever bakery order today!  A friend from high school has asked me to make cupcakes for her daughter's birthday.  It's a bit of a rush, but they'll be fresh and delicious for her party.  I'm delivering so I may get to see some of the family that helped raise me in high school.  I really need to work on making some business cards and a menu.

I'm winning at being an Auntie!

Super Sara and Prince Danyal

Super Twins, wonder powers unite!!!

Reading about some silly snowmen

Pure Christmas magic totally describes my holiday celebration with the BFF and her family.  The happiness of new toys and being able to hang out with Auntie is pretty awesome.  What a great way to spend a snowy afternoon!

Holiday Week in full affect!



I remember when I bought this and they both fit in it!!!

The last couple days have been pretty amazing.  My man came over on Thursday and didn't leave until this morning.  I loved every second with him and I made sure he knew it.  I'm having so much fun getting to know him.  Yesterday we did his Christmas shopping and it's so interesting seeing what he bought.  His family is all about practical and I like it.  I was even nice enough to wrap his gifts for him, don't worry he thanked me :)

Today was Christmas with my mom's family.  My sister did a fantastic job of decorating and cooking.  I'm still stuffed hours later.  And she did it all with a very sick Boo.  She's got a double ear infection but was such an angel today.  I even got extra cuddles as we watched Bubble Guppies.  It's always fun getting together with my aunts and uncles, lots of laughs and great conversations.

It's time for bed because I get another Christmas celebration tomorrow.  I'm celebrating with the BFF and the twins.  I cannot wait to give them their gifts and take lots of fun photos!  The kiddos are at the perfect age for Christmas, it's all wide eyes and smiles!  Pure magic!!!

Holiday Mani



My holiday nails.  I used all gel polishes except for the stripes, regular red glitter polish that I free hand did the stripes.  OH yeah I got skillllzzz.

That's all I accomplished today.  Lost my voice as soon as I got up and felt like a big pile all day.  I managed a trip to to the post office and a car wash and that's it.  I spent the day on the couch napping on and off.  After dinner I had a bit of energy so I spent it all doing my nails.  Now I'm back to the couch and thinking about getting into bed already.  This is after sleeping 10 hrs last night and a 2 hour nap.  Fuck you sinus infection, little snot monsters making me cough all the time so I pulled a muscle in my back and my ribs always hurt.  FUCK YOU!!!

sick lazy or both

Gusties in training
Beat em bust em, that's our custom!

Cheeto creeper?
this apple didn't fall far from the tree

Sorry I've been MIA, but it turns out I have a sinus infection and it's really kicked my ass.  I spent Sunday with my man watching football and having the sexy times.  It was such a good day.  I've spent the last 2 days just trying to stay alive.  My sickness and laziness combined forces yesterday and it was a bit ugly around here.  I cough so hard I start to choke and/or pee my pants.  Now that's hot huh!  I really want the antibiotics to be working now!  After 3 weeks of being sick I'm over it.  I've got a new work project and I'm excited to be doing something different.  Not so excited because I have zero voice and need to call 30+ agents tomorrow.  Yep, good times!  Now it's time for bed, because well I'm sick and I can!
