Nutty Brunet or Brunette?

As many know I am by no means the greatest speller, but when it comes to important things I try to be very careful about spell checking things. So before I chose this blog name I spellchecked it in MS Word. (so it must be correct, right?) Well I have now learned that I need to use the online dictionary to be sure I have the correct meaning as well as the correct spelling. The word used to describe someone with dark brown or black hair is Brunet or Brunette(according to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). Well the twist is, when spelled brunet it is typically used to describe a boy or man and when spelled brunette it is typically used to describe a girl or woman. So of course I need to correct this over site being a woman and a type A personality. The new and soon to be improved blog is here: Nutty Brunette.

CAKE, DUMP TRUCK STYLE!

This year my munchkin requested a Dump Truck cake, so me being the I have to out do last years cake type of person, came up with several different ideas for the design of the cake. I get quite neurotic when it comes to cake designs. I will decide on a design then start buying the materials needed, then change my mind and start buying materials for the next design, then change my mind back to the original only to settle on the third design. Yes, I do drive my wonderful friends and family batty during cake season. They still think it is "cute" not slightly disturbed, maybe because it only happens once a year. Well enough of the jabbering on about cake design and my neurosis.

Behold the Dirt Cake.

Sliding into 3rd!

Today is my son's 3rd Birthday. I love him dearly and he is incredibly cute (no bias here, really), but what is up with 3? Forget the terrible twos. He was an angel at 2 compared to 3.

I have officially nicknamed my son Mr. Contrary. Heaven forbid I suggest something because I am always wrong, even if he just said the exact same thing. I swear he catapulted strait to teenager, and he is really cheesed off that he is still in his 3 year old body.

So we are not just sliding into 3 we are being dragged kicking and screaming!

I commend all you Moms and Dads who managed to survive the 3rd year with your sanity in tact.

Happy Birtday Baby Boy!

Cake Season 2008!

It's Summer which means cake making time! I started the summer off with Graduation cupcakes.

Next will be the Dump Truck Dirt cake!

Ode to Sleep

I love sleep! It is a luxury these days, so I appreciate it even more than ever. Where it not for the long work days and the rest of lives little occurrences I would sleep for 10 hours a day. But until there are more hours in the day I will have to do with 5-6 hours a night and wistfully day dream about more sleep.

Nerver enough hours in a day

I want to have enough time in the day to Work (for some cash flow), play with the munchkin, watch baseball with my DH, knit, and blog. Is that too much to ask for? Well until the time hogs at work let up or someone finds another hour in the day I will just have to suck it up!
