Purse Post

I know, I know. It's a little late. Get over it!


Jess and I traveled to StL a few weeks ago to see Legally Blonde at the Fox. Since we were in the neighborhood, we decided to visit a flea market we had heard about. As we got closer to the ultimate destination we almost backed out of going. It was not a quiet StL subdivision, to say the least. The door were locked and we did NOT make eye contact with anyone.

It was worth it though. I got this Coach purse for $35. Yep $35. I am not a girly girl and I do not carry a purse on a daily basis, so I could not see paying much more than that. I also got another Coach purse. Maybe I'll post pics of it....someday.

I tag Jess and any others that haven't done this yet.

Valentine's

Happy Belated Valentine's Day. I know it's late but what can I say. No real excuse. I'm busy being a mom and trying to get things caught up before I leave the temp job.

I hope that your Valentine's Day was as romantic as you wanted it to be. Unfortunately, I didn't marry a romantic person. I was browsing blogs and saw a cute tradition on several different ones. They would stay in and make a heart-shaped meatloaf and a heart shaped cake. I thought it was a great idea. I knew the restaurants would be packed this year with it being on a Saturday.

I went to Wally World and bought all my supplies and headed home to start baking. Carmon called and said his mom wanted us to come and eat at her house (ON Valentine's Day...EERRR) because she had went to get his uncle from the nursing home. I hesitated at first, but gave in because we hadn't seen him in a while.

I planned the meatloaf and cake for Sunday. Here is what we got:

The cake. Aren't my skills great?

I know, you can laugh.

Before baking:After:


All in all it all turned out good. To make the heart-shaped cake (because I KNOW you all will be making this your new tradition), you simply bake an 8" square cake and an 8" round cake, cut the circle in half, and place it next to the sides of the square one.....easy as, well, cake!
Haha.

I really do think this may become an every year tradition. I want traditions, things Cam can remember and carry on with his kids. As for going out, well we will be eating at the ever-so-scrumptious Shogun this weekend, without the 2 hour wait.

Coming Out

I will be coming out of my hole soon, I promise. When I do, I'm not going to shut up. I have so many posts running around in my head.

Coming Soon:

• Camdenisms
• Purse Post
• Valentine's Day

Hold tight, I'll be back!

Happy Birthday Jase!!!

Today my baby nephew is 1. One. That is so hard to believe. I can't believe this time last year I cancelled my doctors appointment to find out if I was having a boy or girl to stay with my sister, the first-time nervous new mom. It has been a fun filled year, I just wish we could see each other more. He is getting so big. We had a party here for him over the weekend and Jess and I practiced our professional cake decorating skills. Here are some pics.

25 Randoms

1. I am working as a temp at my uncle's office while his normal girl is out on maternity leave. I don't know how much longer I will be here.

2. I got out of college in 4 years, with a degree I have no desire to use. Finance-yuck. I knew it before I graduated, but I was DONE with college.

3. I would like to go back and get my nursing degree.

4. My Grandma Joan was the only grandparent that I really knew and I miss her dearly.

5. Camden got his first tooth last week, and he has another one fixing to break through.

6. I could eat Mexican food everyday. I think I like SC's Mexican restaurant the best.

7. Target is my all time favorite store.

8. Most of the places I work at go bankrupt and close. ShopKo, Albertson's, and now Goody's. Look out, I'm a bad omen.

9. I had never been to the ocean until I was like 19. I never really went anywhere on vacation until then.

10. Jurassic Park was the first movie I saw in a theatre.

11. I went to see Legally Blonde: The Musical at the Fox. I've also saw Wicked there last year.

12. I can't stand to drink coffee. I have tried since I had Camden and its still nasty. I have learned that Cappuccino isn't that bad.

13. I had to go without power for 2 1/2 days last week. I thought I was going to die. I hate to see what its going to be like when we have a real disaster.

14. Jess and I are going to become professional cake decorators someday. We made Jase's first birthday cake over the weekend, and I think we may be reconsidering that.

15. I have trust issues. Majorly. I thank one specific person for not being in my life for that.

16. Carmon totalled my car out in the ice storm last week. I desperately need something of my own to drive again, but I have no idea what I want that to be.

17. My sister is my best friend. She needs to move home, although I don't know if we would be best friends if we lived in the same town.

18. Camden is my life. I can't imagine life before or without him. I can't wait to have more babies. I hope they are all perfect, just like him.

19. I've always wondered if your kids aren't cute, if you still think there cute. I know Camden is cute though so I don't have to worry about that :)

20. I don't have any birth marks. Neither does Camden. I don't think Carmon does either. Are we weird?

21. I don't like to clean. My house usually is a disaster. I need some one's OCD to rub off on me.

22. I smoke when I drink. The next day I wake up wondering what I was thinking because of the nasty taste in my mouth and the ick in my nose. Good thing I rarely drink.

23. Carmon and I started dating on March 15, 2000. We broke up a couple times but never for more than a month. That means we've been together for almost 9 years. Yikes!

24. I think we may actually get to start building a house this summer. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also scared.

25. I have PCOS. Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome. It sucks, if you don't control it, it will make you fat, hairy, and unable to have kids.

I tag everyone who reads this. Do it!

More Winter

Groundhog's Day predicted more winter. I hope he is wrong. I do have power though. Thank God, and I feel so terrible for those of you that are still without. You can come to my house, all of you.
