Yeah, it's in the air and I have lots of Valentine ideas and need to get down with it.
Tomorrow a date with my husband (spelunking) actually thrifting. I adore it!

My first day of Pinterest (as a contributor) and I'm hooked. So many fun things (why didn't I take this seriously I'll never know!) So a few things, animal humor at its' finest. Too bad I didn't catch on to the pinning thing right away because I have no idea where the pics were to go back. But tomorrow's another day. But just for fun...

The Gift
Sometimes it all clicks in place. You realize what your talent, your gift is and everything you've done before has brought you to the place you are now. I had my A-ha! moment the other night. And aside from writing about baseball (the world's greatest job) I will re-learn to write. Sit down and let the ideas flow. Is it like riding a bike? Do you forget how to write? I've been suppressing ideas for a few years now, not giving in to the desire to write. It wasn't until I sent my sister her new Calendar (2.5 pounds) and came up with a new idea for this year. I'm rambling, I have people coming in and out talking to me ( so much for private time, Huh? Ah, the life of a Mom)
And I'm still mad at my sister for not acknowledging my calendar, my opus, my grand epic. Tell me you love it!!!! Okay, a little obsessive. And now I really gotta go. Biggest Loser is on.

OMG He's Gone!!!
Cody Ross, my fave baseball player, has left my fave team (San Francisco Giants) to go to my least favorite team (Boston Red Sox). You'll always have my heart, Cody-man! Good luck. I'll still be watching you, how could I not?

A Culinary Journey
I have finished my sister's calendar of fun days for 2012. I hope she enjoys it. I always have fun putting this thing together. I may have gone a little above board on this one-it's 3 inches thick. I was going to take snaps of it, but I just needed to get it in the mail, seeing as how I am already into the New Year.
So, for next year (yes always planning ahead) I am planning a sort of calendar/recipe book. But feauring not only fun food holidays and celebrations, but also food in literature (we are both English majors; I love children's lit and she, well everything else). The inspiration comes from a short blip I found for Laura Ingalls Wilder Day and I found a recipe for lemonade that Mrs. Olsen was making for the girls. In doing just a teeny amount of research, I have already found some wonderful blogs that I will share with you also. I may have to practive and lay it all out here to get organized, although I do love a good calendar to do my jottings in. (yesm I know, preposition at the end of a sentence)
Please join me at this fun Tasty Days blog. And I found this one also with literary references http://yummy-books.com/. This will be a lot of fun this year.
And maybe this is my year to get an updated blogface. I still hate this!

Ugh, The Office Party
Something I've been dreading for the last month: The Office Party! This year is semi-formal and I have nothing to wear. Literally, I work in a warehouse so all my clothes are old! For me to buy a dress is something I have no experience at all. So I pick: This?
or this:
And yet as I look at dresses I see a style in me coming out. Now if only I could lose that pesky 95 pounds by Sunday. I already know nothing will look good on me. I look like a rectangle in a dress. Not flattering. My choice, though, in my dreams...
This will never happen. In addition to working in a warehouse, I also have the salary of working in a warehouse. I'm thinking showing up as I am, in jeans and workboots! Although jeans are strictly forbidden this year. Yeah, so is an expensive outfit strictly forbidden for me. I don't know what to do. And I'm getting more and more depressed every day. Only 5 more days. WTF!
