Yippee!

Mom came and visited a couple of weeks ago! I was so excited for her to finally come down again. The last trip she was supposed to make down here was almost a year ago, but Pawpaw passed away the day before she was supposed to head this way.

It was wonderful getting to see Mom! We had a lazy weekend. We went and saw two movies: RED and Life as We Know It. We really enjoyed both of them. We also rented movies to watch at home. I made tacos for dinner one night. And of course....I made Mom a birthday cake (two actually...so she could take one home). She requested a German Chocolate Pound Cake...so that is exactly what she got! And it was delicious, if I do say so myself! We also went and looked a this cool junk/antique shop here in town. They had some beautiful armoirs and a beautiful desk that I desperately wanted! But we of course don't have any room for anymore furniture! All in all, the visit with Mom was great!

Last weekend we went to Waco for my nieces birthday party! She had a costume party, so we dressed up as ourselves! Brad went as a fisherman (complete with silly fishing pole and cardboard fish) and I went as a witch!

Somehow I forgot to take a good pic of both of us with Willoughby!

I also helped Angie die her hair back to her natural color...no more highlights for her! We went to the taco trailer twice! Said hi to Francisco...who of course asked where I was living now and asked about Lani....oh how I miss our Sundays of tacos and Desperate Housewives!

Today, I had the day off! No one needed me to sub (except for one of the high schools, which I politely declined). I went and voted! As I was voting, I was bitten by tiny ants.....ANTS ARE THE DEVIL! Then I went and bought groceries and came home to start baking! I made a cake for this weekend (which I won't actually put icing on until Friday) and cookies! The cookies did not turn out the same as the last time i made them, which is funny because I used the same recipe. But they still taste excellent. They just look a little odd. I shared some of the better looking cookies with our neighbors downstairs. I saw one of them as I was getting back from the grocery store. She mentioned that she had planned on making cookies too, but left the cookie dough at their other house. So I took them a couple of bags to munch on! They are really sweet neighbors!

Now I am off to cook dinner before Brad gets home!
