More Random Bullshit

It's Monday.  UGH!  I'm tired and freezing cold at my desk.  I think it's about time to get my Edward blanket and try to thaw out.  

When you're wrapped up in this, it's not hard to heat up!

This past weekend was awesome.  Saturday, I took Dazzle and Neon to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 as a surprise and they went nuts!!  They loved the movie and they talked about it for the rest of the weekend.  I took them for ice cream afterwards and that was yummy.  Neon got coffee ice cream with brownies in it (YUCK!), Dazzle had chocolate swiss ice cream with brownies (YUM!) and I had chocolate swiss with Andes mints in it (SUPER ULTRA YUM!).  Good times!

Sunday, we baked brownies.  Cream cheese brownies and chocolate chip cookie brownies :)  We also ran to Bilo to rape them of some free groceries, drank hot chocolate together while we made paper snowflakes, did some laundry, changed everyone's bedsheets, watched a few episodes of the Simpsons together (since I just decided that the kids can watch it now), ran to the dumpster and made dinner (turkey and broccoli Alfredo casserole - actually a new recipe I just decided to try with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving - SO GOOD, we loved it!!).  We missed the one person that was absent from this picture, Supa AKA Daddy.  He was home in time for dinner (WOW) and we enjoyed his company when he finally got off of work.

We had brownies everywhere !!  YAY!

It was a good weekend and I'm sad that it's over but I am very excited that Christmas is this coming weekend!!  I can't wait to see the kids faces (and Supa's too!) when they unwrap their gifts.  WOO HOO!!

Now, I have some random things to talk about and then my Edward blankie and I are going to take a nap at my desk. 

<Yawn> 

First of all, I have explained to Neon how babies are made a couple of months ago.  Dazzle has been talking to me about sex for a couple of years now which they are both super mature for their ages and I knew they could handle it.  So, since I talked to Neon, there have been many questions that have popped up that needed to be answered and a few joking moments....

Like this one:

I walked by the kitchen table and I saw a baby doll laying on top of a Thundercats doll.  Neon was on the couch watching TV so I asked him what was going on between the two dolls in the kitchen.  He laughed and said, "I know what that looks like Mama but they are just resting, promise."  I told him that was fine as long as the baby keeps her top on.  LOL, right?!

Then I come back into the house about 10 minutes later and I see this:

See the baby's top at the top of the picture??....She couldn't keep her top on apparently. 

Neon thought this was hilarious.  I'm not too worried.  He still thinks girls are gross and he can't imagine EVER making a baby.  LOL.

One night, a couple of weeks ago, Supa's gout toe was really, really killing him so I offered to put ice on it and wrap it up in an Ace bandage for him.  He said, "Awwww!  Sure, thanks honey." and so I got to work on it.  Well, let me tell you, I'm not an Ace bandage expert.  I wrap what needs to be wrapped with no guarantee of what it will look like when I'm done.  That's what Mommy's do.  SO, when I got done with his toe it looked like this:

We laughed and laughed and laughed until we were both in tears. 

Yeah, we laughed (a lot) but afterwards, Supa said "Thank you, that feels better!".  He left it on there until his foot was numb from the ice.  LOL, I'm glad I could be of help.

****Question:  Why is it that when I buy new bras Maybe once every 2 years that the new cups seem to make my boobs look REALLY pointy looking?!  I hate that!!  I wish that I could just break them in instantly so they would have that nice BOOB shape immediately. 

Trust, I was going to take a picture of my pointy boobs and then I realized that Uncle Darling might want to keep his vision.  LOL, most of the time I don't follow TMI rules but today, I do.  :)*****

I told you that I was random today!!

Neon has a bear that he named "Mr. Snowflake".  He's had him for quite awhile and I don't even remember where he came from originally.  He sleeps with him, as well as an assortment of other "friends".  The other day Neon said, "Mama, I know you can't sew (LOL, true!!) but Mr. Snowflake has a hole in his butt and I don't want to throw him away.  He is 89 years old!  Can you please try to sew his butt?"  LOL, of course I told him I would try.

SO, Mr. Snowflake rode to work with me and my sewing kit.  I was able to fix his butt!  Not a very clean job but it will work.  I told Neon that I gave his bear some candy to put him in a sugar coma so that he wouldn't feel any pain and I sewed him right up.  :)  Neon was very thankful and I took a picture of Mr. Snowflake so that he could see that he was at my desk doing just fine!


Meet Mr. Snowflake :)



I took a couple of photo's of Jade's birthday celebration which I somehow forgot to post:

This is the cake I made for Jade.  She specifically requested lemon cake with cream cheese frosting so that is what she got.  I wrote on her cake with green because hence "Jade" that is her favorite color.  She said it was unbelievably yummy and that was what  I was going for.  I think I heard a couple of moans from everyone that was eating :)  GO ME!



Our Olive Garden salad....Well, the first bowl at least.....It was a delicious night!

You can read about the rest of Jade's birthday here.  Fun times, fun times!!  Oh, how I wish I didn't have to wait a year for her next birthday.  Can't I just get a do over??

I love when fabulous random things just find their way to my desk.  I had this waiting for me when I got to work the other day:



Oh, thank you thank you thank you!!!  I LOVE surprises like this!!  I can't wait to finish reading it so I can add it to my collection at home!

Alrighty, I need to go now.  I'm still freezing so I think it's time for that blankie/nap!!
Laters,
