Awareness

The following website has some great issues that need to be looked at and addressed from feeding the hungry to breast cancer awareness! But the cool thing about this site is if you go to the different tabs and click on the "click here" button it helps the causes out.

You see each click is counted and the sponsors have to pay a portion of their proceeds to the different agencies based on how many clicks their site gets. I go on every day and click at least 3-4 times. At the bottom of the page (after you have clicked on it) it tells what you have donated to and how many it has helped so far.

It doesn't cost anything and it is super fast and easy to do. I would encourage you to keep this site in your favorites and click on them everyday. Or you can get to it from my blog and click away from there.

Its a small part we can do and face it, we all need to do our part. :)

Final Name

Ok everyone, I loved all the suggestions and I appreciate that you took the time to give them to me. Here is the name I picked. I hope you like it. If not to bad...hehe.

Frosted Dreams


I was driving along and kept thinking of all the different names I could name a cake shop. I didn't want it to long or short, I wanted it classy but fun, rememberable but not over bearing or snobbish. I kept trying to incorporate cake in the name but then it all of the sudden came to me. I don't need 'cake' in the name. dur.....so then I start thinking about all the other qualifications I had and viola...Frosted Dreams came to me.

Anyway, there you go. I have my first -out side the family- gig in February. Its a friend of mine wedding and I am kinda nervous. I get nervous when my family eats my cakes so we will see how torn up I am over this as the time gets closer. :)

I am currently working on a logo and when I get that I will post it on here and on my myspace.


Thanks again!

Our new digs

So most of you know that I have moved. We now live back in Carson City. Just wanted to post a pic or two of what our new digs look like.










This is our house.










This is the side/extra room, it has it's own door.











Wahooo. a front yard....WITH GRASS!!!!!!











Kitchen....you can see into the dining room and then into the living room. This is from the door that leads to the extra room.











another pic of the kitchen...I like kitchens. :)










Duh a stove.....like I said. I like kitchens......










Dining room. The Window in there is HUGE and faces the front yard. Perfect for a Christmas Tree.










Living room.











Guest bathroom. It has the washer and dryer, two sinks and beautiful tile floor.










Rebekah's bedroom.

I didn't take pics of my or Juliets room......but they look like rooms. hehe.

Hope you all get a chance to come visit soon. I totally love it and already feel like I've lived there for a long time!

short but sweat this time kids. (as Deborah would say) Catch ya on the flip side....

what? it's alive?

I have never been a dog, mayhaps pretended to be a dog when I was a youngster but cant' recall wanting or trying to think like a dog in the last 10-15 years. But I had to sit and think what the heck the dog was thinking the other day and this is the best I could come up with.

Set the scene: Frodo our dog, Brooklyn our newly found cat (seriously found her last week, she is only 4-5 weeks old) and Rebekah's new puppy, Toby are all in the kitchen or dining room chomping on some grub. Frodo has come accustomed to the cat but Toby has only had a few encounters with her.

Ok...this is the story from Brooklyn and Toby's point of view...

Toby: Yum, that was good. Now what else can I stick my nose in or eat up around here?

Brooklyn: This cat food and baby formula is pretty tasty if i do say so myself!...what is that smell...oh dog.

Toby: whats that smell....oh cat.

Toby walks over and smells Brooklyn then licks her

Toby: not to bad, does it move?

Brooklyn: uck slobber, if I don't move maybe it will go away

Toby: Oh, maybe its one of those chew things....cool!

Brooklyn: uck you stink

Toby takes Brooklyn's back paws and starts dragging her across the floor.

Toby: hey this is fun

Brooklyn: what the heck...did he really just do that?

Me....no no Toby (Toby hears blah blah)

Toby: whats that girl saying...they are so weird

Brooklyn: MEOW

Toby drops her and they both look at each other for a second.

Toby: cool your alive?

Brooklyn: dur I'm alive

Toby: whatever, still fun to play with

Then Toby takes Brooklyn by the scruff and start carrying her around. I swear if cats could cross their arms she would have because you could see it all over face.

Brooklyn: You have got to be kidding me. I yelled to be taken off a wall to be brought to a place where the stinky drooly dog carries me around.....what a jip...shoulda stayed on the wall.

Me: Toby. drop her!

Toby: well that wasn't a good tone, I'll just drop her.

Brooklyn: yuck now I need a bath

I scoop her up to see if there is any damage. Toby looks at me with the "what" face and Brooklyn looks at me with the "took you long enough" face.

Toby: whatever, oohh whats that

Brooklyn: well at least now I am being carried....so that's nice.

So basically Toby thought Brooklyn was carry around material. the whole time Frodo is watching everyone with little interest and I am trying not to laugh.

It was cute, I have a feeling there will be a lot of stories about the three of them. :)

6 years gets me.....

I went to the dentist last week. The first time in a little over 6 years. I decided to go because I had one tooth that was really bothering me and I have this fear of my teeth falling out and me looking back country. Plus Juliet needed to go to the dentist so I made her appointment and both my dentist and eye appointment all on the same day. Who knew going to the doctors all day could be so exhausting (personally I think it was all the money that kept needing to be paid....that does make me tired).

So what does waiting 6 years get me? Well how about 5 cavities that need to be filled, 4 wisdom teeth that need to be pulled, a front tooth that has died and now needs a root canal and a little over $2,000 dollars in work....thank goodness for insurance!!!! But I get a free night guard....that's nice right?

so there you have it. I don't know if waiting the 6 years actually caused all of those things or if they would have had to happen anyway, but now I have dentist procedures lined up from now until next July. Oh how fun!!!!

Break for her, Work for me!

So my little one is in year around school which means every three or four weeks she gets a break and doesn't go to class, which ultimately means....Yup....I get to go back to the gym.

I have moved to my new job, moved to a new house, Jason got a job where he is no longer home all the time and had my little one start school...needless to say I have been doing a lot of stress eating and no not carrots! Unless in cake form...but somehow I don't' think that counts, and since I have had to use my lunch to pick up said little one. I haven't been able to go to the gym.

But now there are no excuses. Juliet is going on break, we are moved into our new house (only 5 minutes away), I've gotten used to Jason's job and have settled (quite nicely) into my new job...it's time to face the facts or the fats! and get my bum back into the gym.

So I will be taking my clever little work out outfit (baggy pants and one of Jason's t-shirts), my gym shoes, pull up my hair (my want to be pony-tale makes me look like a samurai warrior) and elliptical until I can feel those little fat bubbles popping away! I know that was probably gross but it's true. I am so tired and have no energy and just want to vedge all the time and I know it's because I don't' exercises like I used to.

So starting Monday....watch out fat, I'm getting me some fresh batteries for my MP3 player, pulling up my socks and running in place for 45 minutes! Heck ya!
