I hope everyone is as excited for the weekend as I am. Its going to be another busy one for our house, but at least I get to spend it with the love of my life. Speaking of love, I have so many things that I just love, from my hubby and kiddos, to the way the moon shines at night. And so, today I am going to share just a few of those loves! I will also be linking up with the beautiful <a href="http://www.lollipopscards.com/">Krystinia</a> @ <a href="http://www.lollipopscards.com/">Lollipops</a> for her <a href="http://www.lollipopscards.com/2012/06/what-i-love-wednesday-no-73.html">What I Love Wednesday</a> link party.<br />

Happy Tuesday, friends!<div>
I hope today finds you all well and ready to dance. </div>
<div>
Most of my friends know that when it comes to music I am all over the place. I love a little of this and a little of that. Its quite entertaining to scroll through my playlist. </div>
<div>
Today's tunes were inspired by my drive home from town yesterday. As I pulled into my driveway Backstreet Boys came on the radio! I sat in my driveway with my windows down, radio up, and sang at the top of my lungs with they boys. Goodness, it reminds me of my teens and how much I loved them. haha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So today I compiled a couple of new pop songs that I am currently enjoying with many songs from the past. So turn up the tunes and get ready to shake what your mama gave you!</div>

Today I am joining Heather Dawn from <a href="http://www.justlove.ly/">Just Love.ly Things</a> and Heather at <a href="http://www.glitterandglossblog.com/">Glitter & Gloss</a> for their first Monday of Mani Monday!! I love color. I love taking the little bit of time to make my nails look nice,but that time is hard to come by sometimes. I am bound and determined to take that little time for myself and give myself a nice little mani once a week and possibly more.<br />

Aren't they lovely?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely love the houndstooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Love them?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you want to know how to get them?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sure you do! Its so easy. They are pretty much stickers. haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My beautiful friend Crystal introduced me to these amazing nail shields that last up to 2 weeks on your nails or 4 weeks+ on your toes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are <a href="http://crystalhayes.jamberrynails.net/home/products.aspx">Jamberry Nails</a> and I absolutely love them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They take no time at all and there is no wet polish to wait for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So they are great for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus, there are tons of designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, don't get me wrong, I still love to paint my nails and I still buy tons of polish; but when you are in the middle of painting your nails and the baby starts screaming you realize that wet polish plus an infant does not mix. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh boy, I can't believe that it has been this long since I last wrote. I apologize! Life has definitely carried me away, but I am bound and determined to come back to this. I have started so many blog entries, but half way through I would grow apathetic and scrap it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you might want to know what has changed, right? Well, so much has changed! My last post was talking about a certain employment opportunity that I was waiting to hear from. It was such a long wait, but I did end up getting the job. It was about the beginning of February when I got the job, then at the end of February I was put on bed rest because of high blood pressures while I was pregnant with my son. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bed rest was awful! I was restless and bored most of the time. I tried to keep myself busy, but I grew indifferent with most things. Then, March 10th came along and everything changed! My baby boy was born! And boy was he a surprise. His whole entry into the world was a surprise, but I will share that at a later date. </div>

The last six weeks have been fantastic. We all have truly been blessed. Throughout the last 6 weeks I battled with the idea of going back to work. I really wanted to because I really did enjoy my job, but I didn't want to miss any moments with my son and daughter. Plus, the idea of someone else raising my family was awful! So, after much debating with myself, I resigned from the hospital and I am now a SAHM. YAY! Its so fantastic! I couldn't have asked for anything more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Its been 3 weeks now and I have yet to hear back from the hospital about the first job I interviewed for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night, I popped down to see one of the ladies that I hopefully would be working with (if I get the job) to see how the hunt was going and she said the last she heard there were still more interviews being done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also said that her boss- the one who interviewed me- said that she had one girl that was interested in midnights. And who might have said that? ME! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I'm still patiently waiting by the phone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really hope to hear something soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ahhh! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, its been a week since I interviewed for different position in the hospital. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not so impatient about hearing back because the person I interviewed with told me they would let me know no matter what.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that makes me feel a bit more comfortable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely hate this waiting game. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its no fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please keep those fingers crossed and those prayers coming my way because the hubs and I really could use this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks.</div>

I hope everyone had a fantastic start to their New Year!!! I cannot believe that its 2012!! Ahh! I hope that this year brings so many great things to each and everyone of you. I know I am pretty excited about this year! only 10 weeks until my little man is born! I can't believe it.<br />
So this Christmas the hubs surprised me with the Kindle Fire! I absolutely love it! You really can't get me to put it down. The first thing I decided that I needed was a case for it so that I could keep it nice and safe! I surfed around the net looking for the perfect case, but none really caught my eye ( the price and styles just weren't me.) So then I decided that I'd try my hand at making one. I surfed around for a tutorial and stumbled upon this simple but effective one from<a href="http://sohldesign.blogspot.com/2011/03/kindle-case.html"> Sohl Design</a>. (However, I found this tutorial after my first attempt and fail at making my own pattern.) Sewing is definitely not my strong suit. haha. But I am pretty happy with my finished project.<br />

Do you ever get to that point in a relationship where you are just ready to give up? You keep the phone lines open hoping for a reply. You are always there when that person needs you, but when you need that shoulder to lean on they are nowhere to be found. You make plans, then plans fall through (to your disappointment) for some reason or another.<br />
Right now, I'm at that point but I really don't want to be there. I hope that maybe its my crazy pregnancy hormones that are making feel like my friend is ignoring me, but the lack of replies show otherwise. I'm sure she is busy, we all get busy, but its not hard to text something and hit send.<br />
I don't know what to think. I love her like a sister and I hate to feel this bit of resentment, but I've needed a friend these last few weeks and I haven't had one. There's only so much the hubs and I can talk about. And when we talk about the things that are on my mind, we just get into a heated discussion. Its not like talking to a girlfriend.<br />
<br />
Ugh, sorry for the rant. I'm just feeling overwhelmed by a few things.<br />
<br />
Oh and top of that little bit, i have yet to hear back from that job! I am pretty sure I didn't get it. Yeah, not so positive, but its what I'm feeling. I really hope that I hear something back. If this job doesn't pan out, hopefully the job that I interviewed with yesterday pans out. Please keep your fingers crossed for me. I really need some good news.<br />
<br />
If anyone has an advice for either of these issues please, feel free to comment with it.<br />
<br />
I hope you all have a fantastic day! <3<br />

I hope each of you had a very Merry Christmas!<br />
Our Christmas was wonderful but very tiring. We spent Christmas day lounging around my parents house while watching one another doze off for a bit. It was definitely a lazy day.<br />
Today, I am still feeling the after effects of the hustle and bustle so I really just wanted to share with you a few of my favorite pictures from Christmas day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Right now, I feel like I have a bunch of butterflies flying around in my stomach and no its not the baby swimming around in there. Its my nerves. I am so anxious lately. Anxious about Christmas and the baby, but most of all my future at the hospital. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are days where I absolutely love working on the obstetrics floor, but lately those days are few and far between. I need a new challenge. I need guaranteed hours. See, if we don't have the patients on the floor then I get VTO'd (voluntary time off) but its more like a MTO (mandatory time off.) So lately my paycheck has been suffering, which puts more pressure on the hubs to bring in the dough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To solve the lack of hours problem I have applied for a few different positions in the hospital. I had an interview last Monday for a position that I REALLY want and I am waiting eagerly by the phone to hear something about it. Ahh. I am losing my mind- I want this so bad. So today when I saw the hospital's phone number come across my phone I almost squeeled! I thought it was the woman calling about the job, but it wasn't. It was a phone call about another position that I applied for. Which isn't too bad, but not full time hours like I was kind of hoping, but I'll take anything. Anything with guaranteed hours! And the lady reassured me that this position would have the hours. So this interview is next Wednesday. Hopefully, I can win someone over with my amazing personality! haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if you could, could you please send a little prayer my way and keep those fingers crossed for me. I would really love for one of these jobs to work out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">As for my anxiety, anyone have any tips on easing it? </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I am going crazy with it and I'm pretty sure the hubs is getting overwhelmed by my mood swings. haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you all have a fantastic day.</div>

<br />
This baby sure has a mean kick. Every once in a while his kick is so low that it feel like his leg is hanging out where it shouldn't be yet. Boy that was scary! But it is also so very exciting! I love feeling him move and groove in my belly! It is pretty much the most amazing feeling in the world!<br />
<br />
So speaking of this baby's mean kick-he sure loves to kick my bladder! Ahh! Friday evening I had a bit of a scare, which was embarrassing also! Thankfully, I work on the obstetrics unit at the hospital so I wasn't looking like a complete stooge to absolute strangers. Anyway, let's cut to the embarrassing story- I went to the bathroom at one point in the evening and my panties were soaked. Eek! So first thought going through my mind was "I'm leaking fluid!" Then, the second thought that went through my mind was- "Can't be! Maybe its pee." Which happens to some women without their knowledge. Just a perk of being pregnant. I smelled it and it didn't smell like pee, but that might be because I drink tons and tons of water. So I definitely wanted a second opinion.<br />
<br />
I went back out to the desk and was about to talk to my good friend about it, but didn't because the desk was swarmed with the other nurses and I don't feel as comfortable with them. I texted C and said, "Not to be gross or weird, but my panties are soaked and I am freaking out!" <br />
<br />
To make a long story short, we ended up doing an AmniSure (basically a test that tests the pH level of the fluid) and found out that it was negative! No leakage of fluid!!! THANK GOD! Phew! So in other words I was just peeing myself! Boo! So embarrassing!!!!! But I thought it was something to share because I am sure there are many women that have been in my similar situation.<br />
<br />
Now that my embarrassing story is shared its time for me to move onto my chores so that I can enjoy some craft time later!<br />
<br />
I hope that you all have a fantastic day!<br />

I have been such a horrible blogger these last 6 months and I must apologize. Its funny because I totally feel like I am missing a part of myself and I believe its blogging and all my wonderful friends that are apart of this fabulous world with me.<br />
I really don't know why it has been so hard for me to blog lately. Depression? Busy days? Or no spark? Its probably a little bit of everything, but I am definitely trying to get over this little hump because I have so many things to be grateful for and an exciting adventure waiting for me in just a few months.<br />
<br />
So this year I was wracking my brain trying to decide what to get my granny for Christmas. I tossed ideas around and the hubs and I finally decided that it was about time to get a new family photo done. I was a little insecure with the idea because I am so huge with this pregnancy, but insecurities aside, it was definitely time for a new photo. <br />

Ask me what my favorite color is and I say- "Pink, but sometimes purple, yellow, or whatever strikes my fancy that day."<br />
Anyway, I am in a predicament...I can't decide what baby bedding I want for the crib. I really want something bold and simple. Right now I have my eye on a few sets, but I could use some other ideas if anyone has any.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theboysdepot.com/images/detailed/3/ferm_robot_comforter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.theboysdepot.com/images/detailed/3/ferm_robot_comforter.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">[<a href="http://www.theboysdepot.com/ferm-living-robot-crib-bedding-set.html">♥</a>]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This robot bedding is to die for. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course when I asked my sis for her opinion she said, "Hell yeah!" to this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I think of little boys I definitely think of dinos, but I'm still not sure about this bedding.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I kind of feel like there's just too much going on, however the dinos are so stinking cute.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course there are so many other adorable crib sets out there, but these are a few that caught my eye. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So what do you think? Rockets, robots, or dinos? Maybe I can get one of each. haha. Yeah, definitely not happening. haha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

So sorry for the lack of blogging lately. I just haven't found the spark yet. But I'm thinking that this new pregnancy is going to help with that! I just wanted to share a quick update with you all before I need to go get ready for work.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311120055072_45817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311120055072_45817.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311120448013_45817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311120448013_45817.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tuesday was the hubby's 29th birthday. Seriously, this man doesn't look 29 does he? He looks like he's 18 or something. haha. We had dinner at his favorite spot and then we came home and had cake. It was such a great day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311184971572_45817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311184971572_45817.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311189435867_45817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-20/1311189435867_45817.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday we decided to spend the day at the local watering hole. Evangelina had a blast, however, she did a lot of pouting when we took a break and then when we left. Poor dear, she just can't get enough water. She's lucky that she has her daddy's complexion because I got a bit crispy. She on the other hand has a nice tan going on now. haha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-21/1311211201405_45817.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://p.mytubo.net/Pictures/Feed/2011-07-21/1311211201405_45817.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last night after all was said and done I sat down and painted my nails. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did a gradient with black and sparkle. It didn't turn out half bad.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't think I'll be redoing it today 2 or 3 times too. haha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What have you been up to this week?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The hubs and I are so excited about this new adventure and I really can't wait to meet the little one. The girls and I figured that my due date will be about March 11, 2012, but I won't know for sure until I go to the doctor and get checked out.<br />
<br />
Today, I am obsessing over Nail Gradients. I absolutely love the look and I can't wait to have some time off from work to do it myself. So, for now I will be sharing with you all the inspiration I have found!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Firstly, I need to share this cover of Teenage Dream that Nick Pitera did! I love it! He's so freaking talented. I can't get over his vocal range.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Secondly, I am so sorry for being MIA lately. Its been quite difficult to sit at the computer lately. Especially, since that's all I seem to be doing at work. Plus, I feel as if I don't really have much to share lately. Our summers are pretty boring around here because we spend it working. We unfortunately don't get to take a vacation this year because my car is in the shop again! Ahh. Annoying. Hopefully when it comes out of the shop this time it is as good as new.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The hubs is in search of a new job and we are hoping that one comes through soon. He has been so down on himself lately and in turn it makes me feel awful because I can't do much of anything to make him feel better. He says he's happy with me and Evangelina, which I know to be true, but I can't help to think that he would be much happier closer to his family. It breaks my heart that we can't just live close to everyone. It would be nice to have a teleporter or unlimited airline miles so that we can travel back and forth whenever we need a hug from his family.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Work has been nuts! I blame it on the summer weather. Everyone and their sister are having babies! The last few weeks we have been completely filled. When we would discharge 3 we would get 4 more in labor. Plus, it has been hella hot on our unit! It doesn't make for a comfortable work environment. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Speaking of work, I probably should get off here and get ready. I would much rather spend another day off with my daughter, but nope, momma needs to make the dough.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you all have a fantastic day. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope to be back to normal soon!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lots of love,</div><div style="text-align: center;">Danielle</div>Danielle Lealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01708203501385196164noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173094637876622595.post-39564965417251492582011-07-04T09:47:00.000-04:002011-07-04T09:47:19.552-04:00How Time Flies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://data.whicdn.com/images/11508730/5836252039_1f33f7244c_z_large.jpg?1309652277" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://data.whicdn.com/images/11508730/5836252039_1f33f7244c_z_large.jpg?1309652277" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">[<a href="http://weheartit.com/entry/11508730">♥</a>]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wow, time really does fly and where does it go? I really can't believe that its July. It just doesn't seem possible, but here we are. Its been so hard to get on the computer for more than 5 minutes lately. Its just been so beautiful outside and Evangelina is at such a fun age right now, despite the crazy tantrums she throws on occasion.

<ul><li>Lately, I have been a huge slacker in the blog world. I am still trying to find the motivation and slowly, its coming to me. </li>
<li>I have a couple handmade trades that I'd like to do, that is if anyone is interested. </li>
<li>Evangelina and I have been doing a lot of painting lately. Its so relaxing, well, at least when she isn't extremely demanding. haha.</li>
<li>I have come to the conclusion that Evangelina is 3 going on 15. She definitely has an attitude of a teenager. </li>
<li>The hubs and I will be going to Cincinnati on Saturday to visit his cousin Carlitos, who is traveling with the Monkeys! How awesome is that?! Last year he traveled with Heart. I would love to go on tour with a band! It would be so much fun!</li>
<li>I need to find a great diet...I am so unhappy with my weight, but I just can't find the motivation. I have a feeling that the lack of motivation has been a bought of depression. </li>
<li>I wish I had something more interesting to talk about but unfortunately I don't. The family and I have just been hanging out around the house, but hopefully after Saturday I will have more to talk about. </li>
<li>Oh remember the newest addition to our family? </li>

Isn't he just adorable?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><ul><li style="text-align: left;">Anyway, Charger is terrified of Evangelina for some odd reason. Maybe its her volume or her crazy erratic behavior towards him. Who knows. Any time that Evangelina gets close to him he decides to climb up my back to get away from her. It is quite funny, but I feel awful that he is scared of her. I hope it fades away as her gets older.</li>

I'm really not sure why- as I said Sunday I have so much to share with you, but I just honestly don't know where to begin. I guess I will start with the biggest thing that has happened lately.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, Evangelina turned 3years old and we had a couple of birthday parties for her, which she loved! She got tons of princess stuff, a pair of roller skates and a bike with training wheels! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I attempted to make her a rainbow birthday cake for her birthday like this one:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQaUOo9jB9IkI1JE6TrnY5CFq8cvo_hIO7noE5KYr3O-kvQ9wvO" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQaUOo9jB9IkI1JE6TrnY5CFq8cvo_hIO7noE5KYr3O-kvQ9wvO" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">but it was a bust. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My cake crumbled like an earthquake destroyed it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I managed to save it by getting those clear little cocktail cups and scooped a bit of the rainbow layers into each cup and then put vanilla ice cream and sprinkles on top of each and stuck it in the freezer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It turned into rainbow cake ice cream cups! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It was a hit!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of them because my blackberry died before I could get the picture off of it, but I intend to make them again! :D </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It wouldn't be weird to make them for Beto's birthday right? haha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He will be turning 29 in July!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, its time for me to get the lovely Evangelina ready to go to vacation bible school and I think that I might head outside to enjoy the sun and paint with my watercolors that I got for my birthday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I am so sorry that I have been MIA lately.  I have been a huge slacker and very unmotivated. Its been so hard to get back into the swing of things and its not like I don't have tons of things to share with you all, but hopefully I can find my motivation again.</p>
<p>Boy, oh boy do I miss you all! I can't wait to catch up with you all, but it won't be until later this evening since I have a date with my pillow in less than an hour! </p>
<p>Happy Sunday loves!<br>
Xoxo,<br>

I really enjoy crocheting, but I got burned out when I was making tons of orders for owls and scarves and hats at Christmas time. So I just needed time to let that passion build again and it has to the point that I can barely put it down. I have decided to start on an afghan for my bed and here's what I have started:<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqI0Jz0-rBwj8_PjShXQjeMG0BGe5qNsTzOhxzgE_2v3ufcfjZn4zvErbWqk_OdDfQ0RIUv4SYqeg1QTH9vYuk0NhELFoyakelPnIlDV7szuWolPMSaVJizDJ8WqJZxFoNMkrARuvfyoFj/s1600/grannystripblanket.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqI0Jz0-rBwj8_PjShXQjeMG0BGe5qNsTzOhxzgE_2v3ufcfjZn4zvErbWqk_OdDfQ0RIUv4SYqeg1QTH9vYuk0NhELFoyakelPnIlDV7szuWolPMSaVJizDJ8WqJZxFoNMkrARuvfyoFj/s640/grannystripblanket.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My bedroom is decorated in teal, green, and white and I just happened to have those skeins available in my yarn drawer. :D I can't wait to get it finished so I can curl up with it. I don't plan on sharing either. haha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
