Being All Domestic and Stuff

I have been running around making all sorts of stuff from scratch.  Cooking all sorts of crazy things and breaking kitchen appliances left and right.  The baby is currently eating homemade apple chips.  Seriously.  I also tried to felt some sweaters with no luck whatsoever.  I know where the mistake was made, the sweaters were not wool, they kinda need to be.  I made fruit roll-ups, they were not good.  I made chicken pot pie with all fresh ingredients,  that was good.  Of course I have bird issues so I had to pick around the chicken.  Today I am making bread with butternut squash,  I have to braid the dough, should be interesting.  I have a cake pan that I purchased for baby's birthday it's in the shape of a princess crown.  Am using four colors of icing and about 30 tips, okay that's an exaggeration, but a lot of tips.  Sent out a few feeler emails today to previous work contacts to see what's out there....

Seriously House of REPRESENTATIVES?

The House has passed the bill for socialized medicine.  Hate, hate, hate this President.  Effing rookie, he needs a time out.  Now it's up to the Senate to kill the bill.  What the hell is wrong with people?  Did they not pay attention in history class?  Can they not see what's going on?

So, I was Thinking of Going Back to Work

The baby is almost a year old and this living on a budget thing really doesn't work for me.  I like stuff.  So, while I was considering this I decided to do an impromptu fashion show to see what I need in terms of  business attire.  OMG, none of my pretty clothes fit me!!!  I look like a stuffed sausage! 
As sanity returned and the baby cuddled up to me I realized that going back to work is probably still another good six months away.  Now, I need to get my ass to the gym!

Can I just say that Carmelo Anthony is a Freaking Rock Star?

And so cute I want to die.  My celeb crush.  He's finally living up to his potential in the NBA.  He deserves a hug!

Halloween

My little girl is getting so big!  She's a goth Raggedy Ann.  The other two were dressed as a race car driver and a baby chick.  Awesome night, weather was perfect, children were well behaved.
