Let us know when you are bringing the babies and we will be there!
Lunch was just terrific, as usual. I wonder if the two of us got together more often if we would still sit and yak for hours.... probably!
I'm glad you had a nice time at lunch!
Well, I guess I am dressed better than when I had on my old pajama pants & ripped sweatshirts (my outfit the morning I went to Kmart!). Now, my work outfits are going to be styling! I got rid of all the old stuff that didn't fit right or looked worn. I will look better than I have in 10 years (the last time my sister stocked a wardrobe for me).
Elizabeth, I've been thinking of you all day. I have officially gone off the deep end and baked SIX boxes of cake mix today!!!
24 French Vanilla cupcakes for Alyssa's play date/open gym luncheon on Thursday
24 yellow cupcakes for Alyssa's classmates (afternoon preschool) on Thursday
24 Funfetti cupcakes for Alyssa's Fancy Nancy party on Saturday
2 ten inch Funfetti round cakes that will be used for Alyssa's birthday butterfly cake on Thursday night and another butterfly cake for a family celebration on Sunday
2 ten inch chocolate round cakes for Kevin's youngest brother for the family April birthday celebration on Sunday
2 ten inch yellow round cakes for Kevin's other brother for our family April birthday celebration on Sunday
Everything's going in the freezer to be frosted later. And now I have butter softening to whip up two batches of cut-out cookie dough later tonight.
I am INSANE!!!
In between all the baking, Alyssa and I hit the Carters store and spent $50 on some adorable froggie clothes and a frog plush for Noah. That will be his "theme" for his 1 week, 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month pictures. (We tracked Alyssa's growth with a stuffed bunny and Matty's growth with a stuffed duck.) Jen, I have a spend $50, save 20% coupon good for April, if you'd like it. I'm not allowed to go back there.
Now I'm going to step away from the sugar and grill some pork chops for dinner.
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!
I love Funfetti! (hmmm...I do have a mix and frosting in my pantry right now...)I had a productive day. I got lots of laundry done and went to the grocery store to fill my empty shelves. I spent $400 on groceries. Why is it that I think nothing of spending $400 on food that will last a month or so but stressed over spending $400 on clothes for myself that will last a couple of years? Mom ended up paying for the clothes but still, I don't understand myself.
OMG, woman! You ARE insane!!
When should I be over?
Amy - Are you thinking of me because I am a kitchen disaster or for some other reason?
I don't think I have baked cupcakes since DS was in Kindergarten. I don't have a container to put them in, so I never make them. Besides, the kitchen is a dangerous place.
You can use a shirt box for cupcakes, you know. He does not remember last night at all, just waking up in the hospital. I do know this car was totaled, he just bought it in February. 
I tried to call him when we got home but apparently he was discharged. I take that as a good sign. I hope to hear from him soon, he doesn't have his cell phone (I assume it was left in his car) and he doesn't have a landline.
Everyone- thanks so much for the hugs and pixie dust. I talked to Joe for about 2 minutes before the cell cut out. I heard him ask me how the weather was when he really asked how his mother was! I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the weather here was on his mind.
Continued prayers for Joe, Robyn. That does sound good that he's been discharged.
Did you buy any candy today?
2 bags of Starbursts and some Nutter Butters!
I may have to agree with Kevin, you are insane!
Hey, I thought you were on MY side!
Honestly, I'm not really sure why I'm baking the cakes for his brothers. One brother is much younger (turning 11), so I thought he should have his own cake, but by doing that, I know the almost 33-year-old brother would pout if he didn't have his own cake, too!
A lot of times the only time they cause symptoms is when they move into the urinary tract, when you have sudden pain on one side of the back, which sometimes radiates to the side or abdomen. Sometimes you can have nausea or vomiting with it. When the stone moves down farther (if it's going to), you can have blood-tinged urine and/or pain when urinating.
Regardless, I sympathize with your frustration on back pain being blown off. I have had the same problem with a doctor I usually love -- it's just so easy to assume "back pain" is a lumbar strain or something, even when sometimes it's completely unrelated. I hope you feel better soon!
Robyn - I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin! Let me know if there's anything I can do locally.
Elin and Tammi - glad to hear you had an enjoyable lunch!
Kristine - I think if I were you, I'd hope for the 2nd course. Either way, that is a ton of food!
Debbie - glad to hear you're feeling better!
Sally - lots of
Deb - sorry the progress has halted, but maybe a rest was in order.
Elizabeth - sorry to hear your sisters won't be much help. Your mom is lucky to have you.
You guys were a chatty bunch today!for anyone I inadvertently missed.
for you Sally! Please post some pictures of your meet and greet with Jeff Gordon!
I wondered when that was going to come up again!I plan on doing a fashion show for Chuck tomorrow so that he can help me put some "outfits" together. I'll have him take pictures. All the clothes are clean now. I love looking in my dresser and closets. They look so fresh and not overcrowded!
