A little more technologically advanced...

I FINALLY got an iPhone.  I got a Blackberry in Oct 10 (and I thought I was cool then…) – and I swore up and down that I did NOT want a touchscreen…  Then CSpire started selling the iPhones…and I started having trouble with my Blackberry (seriously, it didn’t just ‘conveniently’ mess up… well, I guess it was pretty convenient, but it was not my fault!).  So after getting some good cookie $$, I convinced Jesse to let me upgrade.  I am totally in love with this phone – I didn’t know what I was missing!  I think one of my favorite things to play with are the multiple photo editing apps.  LOVE IT!

OK, this last picture is of a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich (MINT) - which is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!  It was actually after 11PM last night when I decided I needed a snack.  Probably not the best thing to do, especially since I'm trying to shed some pounds... but It was calling my name. :-) 

Only Tuesday?

No pictures yet… just haven’t had time to do it.

I took on the biggest single order I have ever gotten – 150 cookies – and have been quite the busy girl.

Fortunately I was able to take off work early yesterday, so I got to spend time with my girls AND work on finishing up those cookies.  Now I have 2 other orders to take care of this week… but no worries.  I always manage to get everything done (even if it means getting very little sleep).  It would be nice to sit at my new kitchen table (that my dad built for me – I need to post a picture of that too – it’s awesome!). But it is currently covered up by cookie sheets…cookie boxes…wax paper…you get the idea.  Jesse is someone who HATES clutter.  I can’t say I like it, but it just really gets under his skin.  Unfortunately, it’s been a constant thing at our home.  Our loveseat has turned into a clean laundry catcher (goes out of the dryer and to the loveseat – and if we are lucky, we’ll get that laundry put away before another load is added to it).  Mail and schoolwork usually hits the kitchen counter, then on to the kitchen table when the counter needs to be occupied by, I don’t know, cooking maybe?? We should actually try to have more people over.  Seems like when we know we are having company, it takes no time to get the house cleaned (just don’t open our bedroom door, or something may fall on you…).  It’s particularly embarrassing when Jesse forgets to tell me that the pest control guy is coming until after he comes…and I’m mortified at what he has seen (like certain types of laundry that may be in clear view…if you get my drift). Oh well, such is life. 

And if anyone is actually reading this, it’s way more fun to read blogs when pictures are involved.  So I will try to step up my game (sooner than later – but I make no promises).    

I'm BACK! I think.... :-)

I think I might give this blogging thing another go.  I got a bit sidetracked by facebook… but it’s so much more fun to blog.  Don’t get me wrong, I still check out fb daily…. but it’s just been irking me lately.  It’s been WAY too long since I’ve posted what’s going on in our lives.  I have a hard enough time keeping up with my cookie blog – but I’m going to give it my best shot! 

To catch up – my two sweet girls are growing up way too fast.  Caleigh will be 7 in March, and Abbey will be 4 in April.  It just blows my mind how big they are getting – and how smart they are.  Caleigh is in 1^st Grade at New Hope – and has had all A’s since starting in K, and has only had to change her light 1 yellow 1 time!  I’m so proud of her – just wish we could get a little of that good behavior at home.  But I guess I’d rather her be a spitfire at home if it means she is good everywhere else….

On a completely different note…we have Abbey.  Who is the total opposite of Caleigh.  She gives ‘spitfire’ a whole new meaning.  She is super stubborn, hilarious, sweet, loud, crazy…I could go on and on.  Caleigh has always been the quiet, reserved one.  And Abbey decided she would shake things up.  She is so animated – I don’t know where she gets it!  But, she is so quick to thank you for something.  She was even looking through her scrapbook last night, and saw the pictures from her 1^st birthday party.  There was one where Caleigh was helping her open a gift, and so she leans over and gives Caleigh a big hug and says ‘Thank you Caleigh for helping me open my presents!’.  So sweet!  And Caleigh is so willing to do for others – both my girls are the BEST!  And I don’t know what I would do without them! 

Well, hopefully I’ll be back on here soon with updated pictures and such.
