I am a Dork...True Story, Sadly, I Have Proof Part I

I am such a total dork at times, I stress about small things. Yes I know one day it will kill me thank you I am totally "in the know" of what it does to your health. So you can keep it to yourself m'kay?

I am a bit of an over achiever on top of that, let me explane. I want me kids to know that I am trying to put in the effort for various holidays that are important to them. I want them to be proud of the things they give others-not be embarrassed by them.

So lets talk Valentines Day shall we, oh that noise you heard it was just a 12g shot gun getting ready-nothing to worry about. So my lovely daughter was giving little handmade (my hands), heart paper book markers to 27 humans. So that's 4 hearts traced and cut out, various folding had to happen and then you glue them to a long green pipe cleaner. Hey let's not leave out the sweet little ribbon bow(eleven inches each) w/a name tag on it! Yeah good times were flowing like mad!

Oh wait she also goes to after care at a wonderful preschool along w/my son! So let's see that would be 32 red velvet whoopie pies from my little "Dr. Love"-he has the shirt so I have proof that is his name! And 32 red velvet Cake Pops from my daughter, thank goodness I had the sense to keep some of those bad boys in the freezer. I was able to just defrost and dip away the love for Love Day!!! I was smart here as I put both their treats in the same bag and exclaimed "Were going green this yeah kiddos!" They totally bought it and I looked like I cared about our environment, a total win win!

Let's add the 2 dozen Cake Pop order that was to be delivered along w/the boy child to his wonderful preschool too...just to add to the stress of it. I swear my counter looked like "Barbie's Dream House Bakery" just exploded all over my kitchen counter. Pink was all over the place!!!



Next Day...I know your just biting your nails to see what happened at my daughter's class "Love and Friendship Day" party. Not too bad most of the moms are kinda nice, one is totally odd duck and I don't care for her but she follows me around like a puppy so I wonder if I carrying some rolled up newspaper might give her a clue? I was told on many occasions during the party that I was over doing it...they hadn't even seen the stuff for the preschool so who were they to judge? But really I told the one Mom I adore I do it so the haters have someone to hate and then they don't talk to me...yet another win win for this Mom of two awesome children!

I have so much more to add about my week-yeah that was only up to Tuesday...it got so much more festive later in the week. But I will save that for another time-your welcome. Now let's see if I can get that photo properly placed...FTW!! Go me!!!

All Right That's Just IT!!!!


I have this really quiet little blog w/a really cute name that I never seem to use...I am a dork. I have so much fun doing something-fun? Try new obsession! They are the CAKE POP obsession that's sweeping the nation!

Well I have totally drank up the Kool-Aid and jumped in to being assimilated to this fun fun idea. I will be posting some pictures of all my little goodies that I totally copy from other web sites. Unless I specifically say "hey home fry I came up w/this bad boy on my own" I will have totally pouched it from someone else. I will try to make sure to give credit where credit is due...my English teachers would be so proud that I remembered their influence to "site all sources" (let's not tell them that I over sited stuff so my papers were longer m'kay?).

But I digress-I do that a lot, please bear w/me! I am totally putting myself out there in the web world mostly to show people that "if this can be done by me REALLY anyone can do it". You may not have the time-that I totally get!

So then if you see something you like I can whip it up for you. Or if you would like me to set up a class to show a group of you how easy this stuff is, I am totally happy to do that too! For the record I am in the process of setting one up-just waiting on DH to settle up some dates for stuff he needs to do and I will have one! or two depending on the response.

I am still in the process of getting into shape...I know round is a shape! But being on the the fine line of Type II Diabetic is not fun so I will be posting some boring info about my training and my love of fundraising for a cause that is near and dear to my heart, for the Sjogren's Foundation.

PHOTOS!!! I promise to post photos, please bear in mind that I use my beloved iPhone 4s-her name is Sophie and I love her-don't ask I name everything! I am going to try and get lots of photos on here if I can figure it out! Ok I got a photo on here (I rock) but it's posting on the top (ok notsomuch)...let's see if I can figure this bad boy out!

All my best
