Where does the time go????

Wow, has it been that long since I checked in with my girls?? (and gents..)

I guess so....

I have been busy with many things since we last saw one another.

I went back to work ...after 7 months at home sharing my daily thoughts with you and one bum knee..

While at home I launched a lil cake business out of my kitchen

Spoonful of Sugar

Creating cakes in the most delightful way....

That's me... 

I have been a busy little bee...

And we packed up the truck and moved to Beverly....

ok next door. But moving is still moving. I hate to pack!! You never know how much stuff you have until you have to move it from one location to another.

And the proudest moment was watching my nephew graduate!!

I am so proud of the young man my nephew has turned into.

When "Pomp and Circumstance" began to play , the tears began to flow.

The same lil one that was terrified of standing on grass was now marching into his future. 

As he threw up his "rock on "sign- we all held our up rock on's back.

That's right Alex- "Rock on" to whatever your hearts desire!! We are here for you and could not be prouder!!

I too am following my  heart's desire..

thus the reason for my tardiness.

But I am still here..

Now that the dust has setteled you will see more of me.

I promise!! I miss my blogging divas....

hope you missed me too.

 

wow what a week...

sorry about the pic..I took it on my phone.

It has been a whirlwind week..

for starters I go back to work this Wednesday..Yeah!!!

I could easily see myself being a stay at home mom but I have never not worked.

So I am excitied about going back to work.

Secondly, I have been making some more cakes.

Saturday was such a lovely day that I decided to make a cake and my own buttercream.

It was delish!!!! When I got to the decorating part...I got lazy.

Don't judge me...I was tired by that point.

But I think it still turned out purty!!!! 

I pray that all is well with all of my bloggy divas.

I want to tell you thank you for being amazinf prayer partners and friends.

I could not make it this past weekend but I heard all about it and want to see pictures ladies!!! 

Please continue to pray for me as I will for you. 

All of you have truly been a blessing to me !!!

Well, hi ho hi ho it's off to work I go!!

I can't leave comments

I apologize if you think I have deserted you..

for some reason I cannot leave comments. I do not understand this. I waited thinking this would pass but no such luck. SO if you haven't seen any of my comments recently ..it's becasue I can't .

Twins of a feather...

Flock together!!!

I have met some amazing ladies and gents here in bloggy land.

But I have also visited the twilight zone.....

From day one I had the distinct pleasure and honor of getting to know the wonderful duo of 

2 Sisters 2gether  

Micki and Terri are the through the looking glass version of Angelique and myself. The similiarities are FREAKY!!!

These two women are crafting divas in their own right and have a simply divine blog  that I read faithfully.

So when Micki and Terri contacted us about being guest bloggers for their series 

Tales of a shared womb 

of course we said yes!!! 

Please stop by their  blog and say hello. While you are there make sure to look around, they do not mind.

You will not be disappointed. 

 

 

My 100th post and counting....

This is my 100th post !!!

WOW.. that went by quickly!!! 

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support as I recoup.

I can now bend my knee but I still walk funny. I kinda waddle like a duck. You can stop snickering at me now...lol.

But while I have been out I have been working on some things that really needed to be taken care of.

I will post about those later today.

But I have been watching from the wings.

(Did you think that I could just go cold turkey??)

I was reading my dear friend Julie Marie of Idllyhours

posted this great post ,"I refuse to be a stepford wife!"

I was sooo caught up in her post that my girls truly believed I had "caught the holy ghost".

"Amens!" were flying out of my mouth like I was sitting on the front pew of my church! 

So upon talking to my beautiful and terribly creative sis, we came up with this:

Yes that is correct!!! 

This is our award...it is to acknowledge all my bloggy divas who think outside the box and cherish individuality!!

Basically, you do you and don't give a damn what others think.

I LOVE IT!!! 

So here are my first recipients:

Idyllhours

for truly inspiring this award!!

Meli Faif Life

 Quixotic Life

Redneck Chic 

 2 Sisters

If you have never been by these ladies blogs... oh you are missing out!!! 

There will be many more passed out..trust me. 

And to my bloggy buddies that do not accept awards.. I understand.

I really hate that because there are some truly unique blogs out there!! 

Well, enjoy and remember to stay true to yourself.

p.s. to Mr. Anonmous - this one's for you..wink!!
Feel free to pass it on!!! 

I'm home....

I'm home.

What a day. The surgery went fine. The good doc repaired my torn cartilidge and some other stuff.

I might have to have another surgery. I will find out next week.

I am in PAIN!! And I am nauseous and I have a migraine from the anesthia.

But to make this day just a tad bit happier...

My baby Taylor comes home sick. She has strep throat.

Now I feel guilty. I am so use to pampering my kids when they are ill.

But as expected. I cannot move.

Thank God for Mr. H and Morgan. They are taking care of us.

I know the pic is sideways..

I do not feel like photshopping anything...sorry.

My one desire when I came home was Starbuck's oatmeal and a latte.

My wish came true. Mr. H had it in hand when he came in the door.

And my mamma...

I loooovvee my mamma!!!

She sent this... pork loin, baked beans, potatoe salad

and

apple and raisin cobbler!!!!

I tried my best to have some..

but I was really queasy.

I'll have it today maybe.

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers.

I appreciate each and every one of them.

 This is me....bored.

I made Mr. H bring me to my computer. I missed ya'll.

I can't stay long. Shucks.

I hate lying down and being still.

R&R is not all that wonderful.

I am bored.

Well, I have to go...Dr's orders.

 

Some R&R

Monday is the big day.

I am going to be away for a few days.

But you will be on my mind.

I am going to get some rest and

relax.

(Minus the stones. I have had those before. Not so relaxing to me..

just hot!!)

I will return as soon as I can.

I am wondering something before I go..

"Can you bedazzle crutches?"

LOL.

Take care and hold down the fort..

I will see you soon.

Post it Note Tuesday!!!

So I am reading my daily blog roll and I see everyone with

 Call me super slueth.

I found the source..

Adventures of WannaBe SupahMommy

I love it!!!!

If you have never visited her blog.. you are in for a treat.

So here is my first Post it note Tuesday....

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!!!

The best FBM a girl could ask for ...

I have the BEST Fairy Blog Mother that a girl could ask for...

Anne of Fiona and Twig.

( I am late on posting this )

last week I had a package come to my house.

I was having a really crappy day.

You know one of those days when all is just wrong.

My mind starts racing.."who is this from?"

Oh it is from Anne.

BIG SMILE..

I opened it..

I luuurrrrrvveee it!!

It is a vintage cough syrup bottle with a really vintage presciption on it.

I am screaming like a kid at Christmas!!!

See, my career is in pharmacy. 16 years worth.

I have a dire passion for vintage pharmacy items.

OH I just adore this !!!

It sits on my desk right next to my keyboard.

Whenever I am online I think of her.

Thank you Anne!!!! Thank you!!

So on my birthday we made sure to visit Anne's fav store

Anthropologie!!

We saw this lil cutie and Angelique and I had to have them..

having a 6 on it and all!!!

I have a wonderful surprise for Anne..

it is on it's way.

If you have never had the pleasure of meeting my FBM- you should go say hello to her.

Make sure to stop by her Etsy shop too.

For she is , by FARRRRR, the best Fairy Blog Mother a girl could ask for!!!

Priceless...

Yep that's us..

the Birthday Girls!!!

We started celebrating at the stroke of midnight!!!

Yes we stay up like kids at Christmas and call each other and sing ," Happy Birthday to us..." and have a glass of champagne.

"Why?", you ask. Well, it is like this. The Lord has blessed us to see another year and that alone is a reason to celebrate.

So what that it was raining and dreary outside

we were going to do our favorite thing anyway..

SHOPPING!!!

We headed out, even though Angelique was not feeling well, and hit our fav spots.

This was just one of many.

(Anthropology was on our list -they would not let me take pics ..bummer)

Then we made our way to favorite restaurant P.F. Changs

An Asian Pear Mojito was a must.

followed by some amazing tofu lettuce wraps.

(Before you turn your nose up at the tofu.. it is the BOMB!!)

Some spice chicken and brown rice ..yummmm!!

And some Dan Dan Noodles

(the pic was too blurry ..sorry Angelique).

I like mine spicy..

We had the best waiter ever. He brought Angelique's delightful dish

Banana Spring Rolls with homemade coconut ice cream

(which they make at their restaurant)

I can't eat the bananas but I tried the ice cream..

Let me tell you.. my eyes were rolling in the back of my head!!!

OHHHHHHH it was like heaven.

So the Six Sisters did some more power shopping and went home.

I was then on my way to...

to get my hair cut!!!!

Yes I just had my hair cut last week but I wanted more.

I wanted a completely new look.

And I got it...

Ya like??
I looooveee it!!!
After a total transformation my family and I headed over to Cheddars..

This is my baby Taylor. She's 12.
Look for this face - she wants to be a doctor.
I know that she will do great things.

So me and my crew had a great time.
That is the Maui Margarita and that glass in front of it - that's a shot.
I had 4 shots to be exact!!! And Yes, I finished my drink.
I had a blast for my birthday!!!
So here is how the day tallied up:

 Lunch at P.F. Changs : $60.00

Maui Margarita and 4 shots: $4.95

Bad ass haircut $38.00

Spending your Birthday with the people that you love : PRICELESS!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

(our maiden name is Price- get it??)

L.Y.L.A.S... Luv Ya Like a Sis

You always hear me speak of my other half.. my sister Angelique.

I love her to death.. that's my rock.

But since I fell in this amazing place I have made some friends that I consider sisters too.

Some of the finest women this world has to offer.

Some I have already met , and the rest I am waiting to.

 My sisterhood ranges from the...

bold and the beautiful ..

(from left to right ..Red neck, Primitiques, and Quixotic)

to the ...

Stunning and sophisticated .

( Fiona and Twig,Taking trash, and Common Ground,)

just to name a few.

I love my bloggy sisters.

All of my sisters are amazing. These are the women that you can....

laugh with...

cry with...

and pray with.

My sisters are the kinds of girls that will ...

 take their earrings off with you..

( thanks for having my back ladies...lol!!)

who are not afraid to wear stripes with you...

(Robelyn I luv ya !!!)

and will drink a mean glass of eggnog with you.
(Mindy!!!!)

Who else

understands why your heart skips a beat when you pass a flea market?

Or knows why you are tearing up when you see this....

and who will not laugh at you for rockin' this lil' number.

I truly have a love for all of you...
I am glad that our love for blogs have brought us together.
I can't wait to see what the new year will bring for us.
