What I Love About Pinterest

What I Love About Pinterest

Last year around this time I saw my cousins chatting on Twitter about Pinterest. I was interested and wanted to start an account, but just never got around to it. My Aunt finally got me to join last Fall. Anyone who is using Pinterest knows how fun it is to hoard all that info. I love it for the recipes of course. I’m sure that some people love the fashion aspect, or the makeup and beauty, or whatever else is your thing. I have found that it’s so much better than using just a search engine for when I need to find some inspiration or ideas for whatever it is I’m up to. Read the rest of this entry

Running Again!

Running Again!

So, I actually enjoy running. Well…. I enjoy the way running makes me feel. While I’m not technically running, per se, I am working up to it. I had been putting off starting to run again because in my mind the way that one is supposed to run is the way that the Army taught me. Which is a miserable way to exercise for most, let me tell you.

Chocolate cupcakes

Chocolate cupcakes
I made chocolate cupcakes with Nutella cloud frosting for Hunter’s third birthday. We didn’t do a big party like we did last year. I just wasn’t up for it this year. With Garrick going to school full time… Well, it just wasn’t happening. I made him birthday pancakes first thing in the morning. I made him his requested dinner of spaghetti and of course the chocolate cake for after. I finally used the party animal cupcake pan that my Mom got me for Christmas. You can’t tell from the picture, but that’s actually a monkey.
Garrick got Hunter some cute toys for Hunter to open, too. He got this backyard adventure kit that came with a vest, bag, patches and canteen. I have to put the patches onto the vest for Hunter. I took some video of Hunter opening his presents. Once I have it on youtube, I’ll put it here.

Doctor Tmoe! That's who! Trent is really into Dr. Who right now, in addition to about a kagillion other things. Hunter got a new toy and Trent was playing it pretending that it was a sonic screwdriver, then he found suspenders. I told him he needed a bow tie to complete the look. It would have been better if we did this before we cut his hair.
