Sunday Night Ramblings

I always feel so bad when a week goes by without at least one post on here, and its been over a week now...so you can imagine how bad I feel. Well, I don't have any reason or rhyme to this post, its more impulsive than I normally am here on my blog, which can sometimes be a good thing ;)


So here's the quick update I will give as far as what I have been up to lately: Mostly I've been working, at least that's what it feels like. More hours means more money which is good, but things have been a little crazy lately. Retail + holidays approaching = crazy! This is my 3rd holiday season at Berean, time flies. I have learned to handle the chaos a lot better now then when I first started...I still have my moments though ha ha.

Anytime I haven't been at work I'm hanging out here at home doing some scrapbooking, researching propositions in preparation for election day on Tuesday, and my favorite....baking! I'm trying to figure out which recipes are going to make it on the Christmas gift list. I must say this year is going to be one of the best years for our baked goods gift baskets! I have learned a lot of new recipes this year. I'm so excited. So since I was a little kid I have always loved those sugar cookies decorated with icing all nice and pretty, but every time I have tried to make them either the cookie sucks or the icing sucks. This week I finally mastered the duo!!! I made the cutest Halloween cookies! The cookie was good and moist and the icing was amazing (and best of all didn't taste like cardboard boxes, like it has in the past). Here is the picture:



So, on Halloween I had to work, but Daniel and Guera brought Joshua by so I could see him in his costume...

Seriously, it doesn't get much cuter than that!! He was so adorable, and so unfazed by his costume. As you can see, he was a tiger. My mom says he looks like Hobbs from Calvin & Hobbs, which is cool because my brother used to read that comic strip and its a little nostalgic. He is getting so big, so fast. If I go even a day without seeing him it looks like he's grown. He is starting to eat baby cereal and soon will start on baby food which is very exciting for all of us :) He is still discovering his vocal ability. If he keeps it up there is a good chance that he will end up being a great singer like his mama and daddy. He also got a little jumper recently that he LOVES and is so hilarious in. He has so much energy, so the jumper has been a good way for all of us to get a rest. I'll try and take a video this week and post it, I guarantee you it will brighten your day! All he wants to do is play. It is so cute though. I can't imagine my life without him and he has only been around for not even 6 months.

During the recent news headlines about singer/actress Jennifer Hudson's family tragedy I have been realizing just how much I can't live without my family. In a matter of a couple of days she lost her mom, brother, and nephew. Without my parents, brothers, sister in laws, niece and nephew etc. I don't think I could go on. My prayers are still going out to her and her family. Take some time and tell the people you couldn't live without that you love them. To mine, I love you all and wouldn't even want to imagine a day without you. =)

Well, I better go get ready for the week. As always, thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings, I really appreciate it.

Oh also, what do you think of the music? Any suggestions for songs I should add that you would like to hear when you click on here? Let me know.

Have a GREAT week everyone!
