Nonsense post

I have been making amigurumi lately. Here are all of the ones I've made. The big penguin looks mad, but he has a really bad attitude. We've been working on that lately.



Hubs is gonna be soooooo mad when he finds out I accidentally spray-painted the lawn again. So I made him this to soften him up a little bit. It's his favorite Death by Chocolate Ganache cake. I can't even be in the same room with it without getting fat. Adult Onset Diabetes? Check.



And check out this massive bruise on my leg! I wish I could say that I got it from doing something awesome like cage fighting or falling down the stairs on my unicycle, but unfortunately I got it from being the normal spazz that I am and stumbling into a doorjamb.




Okay, nonsense aside. I am really sad that LOST is gone until next year. BOO! Anyway, I've decided that I'm going to *try* to do a character analysis every week or so. I may miss some weeks because we are taking some awesome vacations this summer and fall (can you say Disney World? Jealous?). Anyway, I'll try to do it weekly or at least biweekly. This week's won't be up until late tonight or tomorrow, though. I will take suggestions for characters if you want to leave them in the comments. I'm going to start with Shannon.

What have you been up to, Sara?

Thanks for asking! No, seriously. I love it when people ask me that. Usually the answer is NOTHING, but this week has been kind of productive.

*M turned 2 this week. I can't believe how grown up she is. She talks a lot now. Last week Hubs went out to mow the lawn and M wanted to know why he was wearing decrepit clothes. I told her, "Daddy is a hobo." Today we went out for our weekly mommy/daughter date at a sit down restaurant. The waiter asked her where her daddy was and she said, "Daddy's a hobo." I would have explained if I hadn't been laughing so hard and shooting coke out of my nose. He didn't ask anymore questions. I made her this cake for her birthday. She wanted a purse. Seriously? Okay, I do not have mad cake skillz, so this is as close as I got. And no, there was not a weird pink rectangle on the cake. Her name was actually on there, but Hubs doesn't like me putting her name on my blog, so I humor him with my mad paint skillz.



I think M humored me when she looked at this cake, because that's a sad looking purse, but I'm not Duff Goldman. It tasted great, though, because I can bake like a fool.

*I LOVE yard sale season. It makes me happy inside. There is a certain happy switch inside me that is not flipped until people start selling random crap out of their garage. I hit a yard sale up this morning and came away with these beauties:

YES! 1928! My favorite!







I got all the jewelry for 10 cents each piece, and the earrings counted as one. So 60 cents, people!!

And I got this great trifle dish for $2.




That's about the extent of what it takes to make me happy. Cake and secondhand junk. I'm not that hard to please.
