7 Quick Takes (#1)

Okay so I'm a day late and a dollar short...but I'm too sleepy to care :)

1) Jason is working all weekend.  Usually that wouldn't bother me.  But with both children a teensy bit under the weather, I'm floating souls out of purgatory every second (and searching for the duct tape...for myself of course...uh....)

2)  Note to self: Next time you offer to contribute to a big party, volunteer to make the broccoli...broccoli doesn't demand 1,000 taste-tests to make sure the recipe turned out okay. 

3) At least my kitchen is clean???

4) What goes around comes around: I received a One Lovely Blog Award from Angela at Blogmommas.com!  Thank you Angela!!  It is a small world.  I received this award last week and passed it onto Tracy at A Slice of Smith Life.  Tracy passed it onto Angela who passed it back to me.  I don't care what kind of day I've had - it is always so nice to be recognized by fellow bloggers.  Thanks again!

5) I handled the desserts for my sister-in-law's baby shower.  She is pregnant with twins and Margie at Artistic Cake Creations made an awesomely beautiful and BEYOND delicious cake for us!!  Her cakes are amazing - none of the fondant here - it's all buttercream!!!  I could have died on the 30 minute drive to the shower.  A 30 minute white-knuckled drive is no cake-walk...heh...heh...sorry... Anyway! I took pictures of the cake to make sure that everyone knew what it looked like before I got there.  Luckily, it survived the trip!!  

 6) I gained about 3-4 pounds this week.  Man cannot live on butter and sugar alone......or CAN he????

7) I feel a little ill from all the sweets.  I'm really into "natural" healing methods.  Settling a sore tummy after too many desserts is as easy as mixing a few soothing ingredients together.

A little of this

And a little of that 

Ahhhhhhhhh.....Good night all
