Whew, I worked hard yesterday. Between all the thievery and house cleaning I did, I am just exhausted. I got my whole house cleaned yesterday, including washing my pillows from my bed. I also went around and secretly stole many of Amber's friends, to my delight. What a pleasure that turned out to be. I am gettin to know a whole new group of people. I am proud of myself, I am leaving the safety of the circle I made for myself. Welcome to all my new friends, it was fun stealing you all from Amber. I don't think she minds one bit.
I also made what I think is the best carrot cake ever devised. This is my shortfall. I can walk by chocolate, pass a pie, and ignore a platter of fresh cookies and even cinnamon rolls. I bake all the goodies we have around here, they are really good. I don't feel I have to eat them at all. BUT, this carrot cake does me in. I don't usually like carrot cake, and I wont eat any other carrot cake. This recipe comes from the Cooks Country cook books. OMG it is so freaking good. I would sit with a fork and eat the whole thing if I didn't have to share it with John. That is my husband for you newcomers. Needless to say, I love this cake. and the frosting is fantastic. I could go on and on. but I think I need to go cut me a piece of cake to fix my fix. What do you need to fix your fix?
Today, we went to Costco, and once again, spent too much money. But is was well spent, because it was all on stuff we wanted. As far as I'm concerned, at this point in our lives, if we want something, we should have it. The kids are grown, we no longer have to support the local school and sport of the month/semester. Now our money is ours, after the bills are paid. So John has been wanting some square plates. Guess what? They have them at Costco, and now we have them at out house. It is a black and white set, we both really love it. It looks like the kind of dishes they use on the food network for really cool presentations. I love gettin new stuff.
We will be planning another trip to OK in June. Our youngest, Alex, will be graduating with his associates degree from Spartan College of Aeronautics. He is then going to stay and work on his Bachelors. It is a very aggressive program. He started right out of High School, and is so close to finishing. He is only 20, and will be done when he is 22. I'm all excited about our next trip now, I guess that puts a cruise on the back burner for now.
OK, now I am out of stuff for today. See ya all on the next round. Have a great week.
