randomness

I know, I know. Again I am remiss in my blogging duties. I can only ask for your forgiveness, as I am quite busy. Baking and cooking and becoming the domestic goddess I always knew was in there somewhere. Unfortunately, it has also taken it's toll on my waistline, but I enjoy it. Plus, there exists an adage that says "never trust a skinny cook," to which I firmly adhere.


Shoot from the hip, is another one. And here it is... Well here it was supposed to be, but unfortunately, if I upload it, it will be at the top. A loaf of banana-nut bread that absolutely melted in our mouths... Delicious.

Wedding Randomness.

Here are some snippets from the wedding. I think they captured the essence of the whole thing quite nicely. It was very relaxed and family-esque. Hope you enjoy them...

Post-wedding update...

You ever have one of those days when it just doesn't pay to get out of bed? Well, that's what my day has been like. And I'm sorry dad, but this is not about our talk last night. This is about what happened after you had already gone. Probably about the time you got to Seattle and called me.


I have very few friends, and the ones I do have, I think of as family. One of these friends, I won't name here, I used to look upon as my own mother. This "friend" today, decided to go off on me about something that I was not made privy to prior to her going off, and so I got the brunt of her frustration with someone else. Suffice to say, I do believe it to be the end of this particular friendship, as I will not stand idly by and bear the brunt of someone else's frustration and have them decimate my already fragile balance with my sensibilities. I can't do it. So, I have decided to take some time to myself, and my family, and regain that sense of balance I had before this fiasco.

As always daddy, I love you, and I hope that Pike Place Market was fun. Here's wishing you safe travels.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!!

I am so excited. I get married tomorrow. Yes, that's right! I, the independent one, am getting hitched! I cannot believe it. I never thought I would live this long, let alone get married. It's not going to be much, just a simple backyard barbecue, that just so happens to be a wedding. I think it is going to be great... I am so anxious!

Ok so I spaced...

Yes, Folks! That is most definitely my sheepish grin, for you see, I spaced blogging most of last month. I know, I know, I have been remiss in my blogging duties. Feel free to chastise me for my egregious lack of manners, but I have been quite preoccupied. You see, my wedding is in 15 days and counting. There is much to do this month as well, but I felt that, as it is May Day, I would come and post to all three of you who follow my blog to let you know that I am doing well. Things are coming together, as they normally do for me; one piece at a time. -To add to this, Mother's Day is in 9 days, and my 26th birthday is in 17 days. I have much happening this month. So I am asking for your forgiveness in advance, as I may be quite preoccupied, yet again.

As always, I love you Daddy. I can't wait for your visit. I do hope the trip will not be too taxing, and the the path you travel is clear and fair. ;)

Birthdays...

Have you ever noticed how, the more birthdays someone has, the faster they seem to go by? My youngest just turned 2 last month, and now my oldest is about to turn 8. That means that next is mine. I am not entirely sure how to feel about turning 26. I mean I am definitely not old, yet... But I feel every single one of those 26 like they were lead weights across my shoulders. Some days are decidedly worse than others, I do have to admit. There are some days that I feel as if I am still 16, even though that was almost 10 years ago. Holy cow!!! TEN YEARS!!! I really feel old, now. *heavy sigh* I guess that just means that there was a lot of experiences to have been had during that time. I watch my girls play now-a-days and I wish I had their energy, if I ever had that much energy... I dunno. I guess I am just feeling old.

As always, Daddy, I love you, and I hope you are doing well.

End of the month part 2

I actually made it this month! I am here at the end of the month, and still have enough to make for dinner on the last day of the month!! I am super proud of myself. I actually budgeted my resources this month to actually make it!!! Hooray!
