Sweets For The Sweets..Mmmm Cupcakes

I am blaming my pregnancy for my new founded obsession with cupcakes. I have spent countless hours sitting in front of my computer looking at beautifully described and amazingly decorated cupcakes.
I have been dreaming of cupcakes, waking up to the smell, creating my own cupcake flavor and filling combos.
I signed up for Wilton Cake Decorating classes at a not to near Michaels craft store, just to learn how to properly ice and decorate cakes. Classes start this weekend and I am excited to attended.
I have to remember to call ahead to ask if I can take my camera to the lessons to document my progress.
Just look at these photos I found browsing cupcake sites and blogs. This woman is amazing, I aspire obtain 1/4 of the expertise she has. Check out her site at HelloNaomi and you can tease your taste buds by looking at her here on Flickr .......

And look at these amazing COOKIES.................

Is Thirty Really That Bad

We had a birthday bash for a friend of ours this weekend, she turned 30. She was pretty down about it, and I don't quite understand why.

I will be thirty in a few months, I am carrying my third child and am in love with where I am at in life.

When I pulled her aside and asked her what she really was thinking she couldnt describe her feelings. So I simply said hey we are great mothers to great kids who have thought we were way beyond 30 ever since they learned how to count and thought there were 100 people in the world. She laughed and seemed to lighten up.

Being the only pregnant and sober person at the gathering didn't seem so bad when I realized that I was just as crazy sober as some of these people were when they were two sheets to the wind. Have fun looking at some of our pics...

We come from near and far, upper class and lower class, but nothing matters when we need each other.
Above is a picture of my cousin Danielle AKA Bootsie, she recently lost over 130lbs. I am ooh soo proud of her.
This is the most amazing man I have ever met in my life, if I had the ability to clone him I would. Then pass him out to every woman I saw. I am glad he is in my life because not only do I love him dearly - but because I deserve him.

Yes I know I have the balance of a FLAMINGOOOOOO...
