I Told You So!!

This past Thursday was Michael's birthday and next Sunday is my Dada's birthday. Also, today my cousin's little boy got baptized. I tell you all of this to tell you that Last night my Mom's side of the family all got together for fun and while we were there we also were celebrating these three things.
I decided to try something new. I wanted to make a homemade cookie cake. So I bought the dough-not usually how I like to make cookies but oh, well. And I looked up on the Internet how to make one. Michael does not like chocolate so I wanted to make him a sugar cookie one.
Friday night I started experimenting and had some trouble, the cookie was either too raw, or over cooked. After making three, I called it a night and was going to try again in the morning. So I did. Saturday morning I got up and tried one more time. Nope, again I couldn't get it right. So I decided to go buy more dough and go to Mom's to see if she had any expert advice. I tried again, this time being a little more successful. I made two chocolate chip cookie cakes. Now I just had one more to make, the sugar cookie one. I only had about an hour left, so I cooked it. Meanwhile, I iced the chocolate chip ones. One for Dada and one for Gabe. The sugar cookie on would not cook up right, so I began to panic and try to cook it, all while being rushed by Mr. Price. By the way, I am not usually a last minute person, but as you can tell, I was having some problems!!
It was time to leave and the sugar cookie was still not all the way cooked. Oh, well that was Michael's, I had already made him a birthday cake for his birthday, he'll understand and that way we can leave.
OK, load up Caden, all his bags, his drinks, make sure he's in a dry diaper. Lock the doors, sign the cards, turn off all the fans and lights. (Meanwhile, Michael is thumbing through Mark's yearbook.) "Michael you grab Caden!" Load up the car!!
We are headed to Canton, just on the minute. Let's go!!!
Half way there. "Michael, did you get the basket with the cookie cake?"-Holly
"No, you told me to get Caden."-Michael In Holly's head....I got the bags, locked the doors, turned out the lights, changed Caden....
So you guessed it! I spend two days making cookie cakes. Ended up making six. Four of which didn't turn out. And here we are on our way and no cookie cakes ere going to the get together!!!
So I have taken pictures of these cakes so I can say. I don't usually like to say this but, I TOLD YOU SO!!
(Here they are....Dada's name is a little messed up from the foil)

THE Wedding

Yes, It was a week ago, but blogging isn't my only chore. Last Saturday, November 6th my baby L got married. She was so beautiful! I was so honored to be apart of that day. I remember when she met J. We were all a little sceptical about it. He was a friend of a high school classmate, and it was a blind date. But they met and had a good time and it was history from there. The first time I met J, L, asked M and I to go to the Cumming Country Fair with them. M and I being country music fans were very excited to go. Because M and I started dating so long ago, he is like a big brother to L. They both bicker and protect each other like siblings. Michael kind of had a gut feeling J was going to be a good guy because he like Charlie Daniels and he knew the old country songs. After the concert we stopped my DQ, and had ice cream. For those of you that don't know, M doesn't like chocolate. Well at least that is what he says, but he will eat peanut M&M's, snickers, an...

Coupon Queen

Ok so my newest craze is couponing. My mother in law invited me to a couponing class a few weeks ago and I went. I had heard of couponing, but never looked into it to see how it worked. So, once I went to the class, I looked into it a little more. Wow, how easy it is to save money. All you have to do is go to a website and she tells you everything you need to know. She does all the work. You just have to decide what you want and where you want to go. So last night I went to Kroger...my store of choice. And I spent $89.00. But, I have $72 in coupons and sales!! Wow! I can get used to this. I called M and told him and then had to call someone else..so I called Dad. Call me the Coupon Queen. I can't wait for the next sale paper and coupons to come out!!! If you want to know more about it and live near me. Im going to another class this Sunday night. Or you can go on the website yourself. southersavers.com  She is very detailed and helpful. I've just done this one time, but she s...

Twas the Month Before Christmas

This was sent to me is an email and I thought it was cute and very true!! Twas the Month Before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. See the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things. It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say December 25th is just a ' Holiday '. Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it! CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod Something was changing, something quite odd! Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda. As Targets were hanging their trees upside down At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found. At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ea...
