Day 79/365 (October 4, 2014)

It was a long good day! I woke up early and made the frosting for Karen's cake and decorated it as well. The night before I made a chai flavored ganache so that was part of the filling. This cake is so moist and was so tall! Sasha helped me do the writing since I suck at that!

I also made chocolate chip cookies, I tried to make them chai flavored as well but the special chai sugar i made wasn't strong enough to the other ingredients.

Sasha, Karen, and I went out to 5 napkin where we met up with Monique and her daughter to celebrate Karen's birthday... another burger place where I only got a salad... double rough! After we came back home and had cake/watched her open presents and hung out until Karen and I went to go see On The Town. Oh yea we had lock troubles again as well!

On The Town has some beautiful dancing but it started almost 15 minutes late and intermission was too long so it didn't end until 10:45.... not cool! then I came home and headed out to Marissa's birthday party at Bourbon. I didn't really know anybody but met three nice people I chatted with for a while and glad I went out... then it was home to SLEEP!

Day 38/365 (August 24, 2014)

I was woken up on Sunday by a phone call from my mom,. Normally this would upset me greatly, but it was to tell me that my cousin Samantha had gone into labor! Quite a bit early, but not dangerously early... so I spent a good part of the next few hours on baby watch!

I also ended up watching Lola for a few hours. We did some coloring and crafting and she helped me make snickerdoodles which I ate far too many of! Lola set Fred up with the "Santa mouse" so he could have something to cuddle with while napping. I tried moving Fred off the table so she could have more room but he just hopped right back up, and Lola didn't mind at al since she loves him so much. I also did three loads of laundry during the day and made my bed... it is so nice to get into a freshly made bed!

My newest cousin Xavier Michael was born and he is adorable, so I am now figuring out how I will get to MA this weekend to meet him. I learned with the last coupe of babies how it breaks my heart to not see them as soon as they are born, so I am not going to make that mistake this time.

Then i met up for drink with so friends at Bourbon. It was nice chatting in a low key environment and I drank way too much water! After I got home I watched the Veronica Mars movie on HBO Go before going to sleep. It was a really good movie, glad I finally watched it!
