Last week I took my boys and Dave to see the Harlem Globetrotters for the first time. I won tickets through BobFM's website (thank you Bob!) and the seats were awesome! I do have pictures, but I haven't really had time to go through and resize them, but when I do, I'll be sure to post them to Flickr and some to here. I saw the Globetrotters many years ago and thanks to my mother (who won dinner and tickets then too - see a pattern? lol) I got to meet them as well. We were definitely not disappointed seeing them this time and I know the boys had a blast.
It's been a stressful couple of weeks at work. We're down one person because she's been out sick (and won't be back until after the 20th). I'm thankful that she's gotten a fixable diagnosis, because I've been quite worried about her. I've talked to her a few times over the last couple weeks, but I still miss her bunches! We finally got a decent sub to fill her job until she returns, so that should help with my stress level some.
Since I mentioned stress, my stress has decided to manifest itself as hives - mostly on my face - and quite frankly I'm getting sick of it! I went into work one day last week looking like someone slapped me across the face, but it was just lines of hives on my cheek. I can tell when they're there without looking in a mirror because my face will feel really warm there and if they're real bad I can feel a burn or a sting. I need to find an antihistamine that doesn't make me drowsy for when I'm at work. I take Benedryl at home if I don't have anywhere else to go, because when I take one I'm out like a light.
Let's see, what else is going on here? Cupcakes are good. I had a few orders from teachers at school a couple weeks ago. The salted caramel and the ho-ho cupcakes seem to be my biggest sellers right now. I'll be making a few different kinds this week - but those are for birthday reasons!
Mason turns 11 this week. I'm still trying to figure out where the last 11 years have gone. I'll try to get an updated picture of him (but really, he doesn't look all that much different than the last time he let me take his picture).
More cupcakes -- This week I'll be making ice cream cone cupcakes for Mason to take to school on Thursday. This weekend for his family/friends party he has requested the ho-ho cupcakes and the white chocolate raspberry ones (I did laugh when he said I didn't have to put the raspberry on them because - his words - "I know fresh raspberries are expensive this time of year, mom".). There will be lots of pictures to follow, I'm sure!
I'm also really excited about getting the Blake Makes Food Chain camera next!! I'm about 80% sure I know what I want to film, but am still open to suggestions!
I still have my hair cut short. It took a lot of getting used to, but I've decided to keep it like this for a while. Now, to just get rid of the gray hairs!
I think that's about it for now. Thanks for sticking with me through this post!
