I feel like I haven't posted here in a while. I've been a bit distracted with the husband home. I've been baking and making Lily's birthday cakes and such. O got in Tuesday the 13th at about 10am.

I made a buttercream frosting for the cake ( Read more... )

O and I went on a date night on Friday. It was really nice. We started at BJ's where we had some beer and decent food. I realized when my meal came and I took the first bite that I am becoming a bit of a foodie. I was incredibly disappointed in the meal that I once thought was amazing. It was bland and I sat there telling O everything I could do to ( Read more... )

Today was another one of those good/bad days. It had some good...it had some bad ( Read more... )
