Spring Fever

I was doing good with this whole Missouri winter thing until a few days of 45 and 50 degree weather! Now it's on my mind. To say I have spring fever is a gross understatement. So the other day when a friend asked me to make a birthday cake for her husband, who loves the outdoors and hiking/camping, My fever got even worse! But anyway, here is the finished producted. Needless to say, the first sign of nice weather this is going to be me!

Feelings

These are funny things. Sometimes they work for us and other times they are like a chain around our necks slowing us down. Lately, I must say, I have been overwhelmed with feelings of all sorts, but none that I can name. You know those times...the ones where you are feeling everything, but can explain none of it. Ok, most of the women reading this are probably knodding because they do...whereas the men are thinking, "What do ya mean ya don't know what you feel!" Guys, it is ok. We women have these times...don't panick and always bring chocolate! LOL!!!!
Anyway, my lack of posting would have everything to do with these feelings and school, oh and having a new puppy, oh and work....ok well maybe it just has everything to do with life!

So my apologies...I will work on my regularity!

A look in my window...

*watching Criminal Minds...a great show that is so nail biting (when you haven't seen every episode four times!)

*looking out my window at all the snow...thinking of my sister hates white!
*homework (and my blog) open on my computer's desktop...guess which one is getting more attention!

*in my kitchen, are a whole bunch of dishes! But hey, nobody's coming over...right? I mean, I could do them...just let me know! :)

*the house is actually fairly picked up. A puppy has that effect on a house. What a great motivator...pick it up or chew it up!

*on my mind, there are three children who have burdened my heart after our sessions today.

*thinking I love facebook for the connection it gives me with my battle buddies down range (God bless you all!)

*wishing that I had been able to spend more time with my family today.

*hating that I have to take a dog outside every hour so that she doesn't ruin this carpet!

*laughing at the stupidity of the comercials on TV and of course the battle buddy I am chatting with on Facebook (battle buddies are always there when ya need 'em!)

Yeah, that about sums up the last few minutes. I am like the Missouri weather though, wait five minutes and it might change!

I know...but it was cute! :)

This is my newest addition to my apartment. Azlan is a 3 month old Australian Cattle Dog. She is very inquisitive, sweet and (at times) rambunctious! It has totally changed the look of the apartment and is a great decorative piece...are you buying that?

More...

SNOW :<)

Only about three and a half inches, so it didn't complicate things too much. But it did cover things again.

Missouri life...oh, how I didn't miss this!

An "Aunt Erin" night

Last night I was watching my nieces and nephew when my oldest niece tells my sister that they were having an "Aunt Erin" night. So I thought I would let you all see what an Aunt Erin night entails.

 First, of course, we need a play place and what better place to find that than Mickey D's! So Happy meals all around...chicken for some, hamburgers for others.

We aso need some down time after all that playing, so movie is next. (Don't ask how long it takes to pick one out that everyone agrees on.)

Ice cream (or slushi for some) goes great with movies, and, of course, everyone has a different favorite flavor! So we went pint size and everyone was happy!

ICE, ice, BABY!

Yet more ICE!
