Chief Justice Molly

You may have seen her before. This is my six year old sister. And she sent me this picture the other day. She saw a picture of the Supreme Court...and moments later went to her mother dressed like this. I would be more than happy to have her as one of our supreme court justices. Hahah.

Freeeeed.

This is good ole Fred. My oldest (full blooded) brother brought him home on Valentines Day many o' years ago. When he was a Freshman at the first college he attended. Fred was a Frat dog, and was abused. He used to be one asshole of a dog, which is understandable considering what he had been through. He used to run around (impregnating female dogs, is our guess). But, he always returned. Today, in his old age, he still runs off. But, again, he always comes home. He spends most of his time in a chair that he has claimed as his. My parents recently got new furniture and somehow think they will be able to keep him off of "his" chair. I doubt they will be successful.

U*S*A*

These are old school. I made them on Vet's Day for Christopher. I forgot to take a picture until he took a bite out of one of them and said "did you take pictures?" Hence, the top left cookie...

These are way amateur. But, this was before I found out about proper icing skills and the use of fondant. lol.

twinkies

Meet the newest additions of my familiy. These are my beautiful twin nieces, Anna and Emily. They were born early, but are already home with their parents and older sister. I am so blessed to have so many amazing nieces and nephews. Someday, I want to gather them allll up and take one big picture...with myself in the center of course, being tackled by them all. As of now, there are 9 of them...but, my tenth is on his way (Well, they still don't know if it is a girl or boy, but my brother swears it is a boy). I cannot wait to watch them all grow and become the amazing people that I know they will be.

guitar hero complete.

first i put fondant on this part of the guitar.

and then i iced the handle.

it's almost done...

yay! it's done.
i learned a lot this time.
and his grooms cake will rock.

guitar hero. yum.

the pan was too small.
so i had to make do.
hence the lighter curves.
just shaped some scraps and iced em on!

i forgot to take a picture BEFORE i put it in the fridge to cool.

falling from the sky

no school!
freakin-a!

brrrr it's cold outside.

ice day!
no school!
suh-weet!

in comes the cold...

...out comes the boots.

"the 23rd"

Ok. So, I happen to love my dog. And she obviously loves me. Everytime I get in my office chair she wants in my lap. In fact, she always wants in my lap. This makes it quite difficult to do pretty much anything. But, she's just so darn cute. So, I let her in my lap anyway.

The End.

I did not take this picture. That is becoming a typical first sentence for this blog. I will get better. But, right now, a lot of my thoughts are focused on planning this wedding. Which, is coming up very soon. I think that I want to do something like this for the centerpieces...well maybe not the centerpieces...maybe by the guest book or buffet. If I do these, they will obviously not have the tags...just the bling and the flowers. And if I use them for the centerpieces, I will make them much shorter than they are here. So, what do you think? Wanna help?!

emmie

Sitting at my computer, I looked to my right to find this oh so cute little puppy glancing my way. She is mad at me right now because I am not on the couch cuddling with her.

because I am behind...

and because I could not figure out how to post two pictures in one post without it completely effing up the entire mojo of the post... here is a picture of the purty purse I received Christmas Eve. <3

coach, i heart thee.

So, I had no idea that COACH had designed yet another pattern...until I opened this on Christmas Eve. Thank you, Christopher. It goes perfectly with the sunglasses my sister gave me, which are white with bling. I would take a picture but they are in the car, and it is cold outside, and I am lazy. So maybe some other time. Sidenote: COACH is a very weird word.

Just Because.

Today, I am catching up. And, since I haven't taken any pictures lately, you will get some of my favorites from the past. This picture is courtesy of whomever those girls were who took my sister's wedding photos. That is my sister, B. She just so happens to be my bestest friend, as well. Oh, and my hero, too. I could write pages on this girl and our adventures together. And someday, I probably will. But, it won't be for years because we still have so many adventures left. Next up: The grand opening of our bakery, and Ghetto Nailz.

I hope that I can be half as beautiful of a bride as she was.

Eat Cake. Be Merry.

I obviously didn't take this picture. But, this is the cake that we have decided to have at our ceremony. The bottom layer will be vanilla with raspberry swirl. The top two will be chocolate fudge rum raspberry (chocolate with raspberry swirl, and chunks of fudge.) Um. Yum. I hope the lady does it exactly like this. I will be very upset if she effs it up.

Minnie <3 Mickey

I received his Mickey picture in an e-mail from his mom once. I remembered I was Minnie when I was about the same age. When I went to visit my sister in California, I took her to Disneyland and found this magnet picture frame. Perfect. It is my favorite magnet on the fridge.

All the Purty Colors (January 12)

Well, on January 12th, I started the last half of my law school career. Three more semesters. And it was time to retrieve my trusty highlighters. You should see my books. Sometimes I find myself highlighting useless things...just because I like my book to look like rainbows.

Meet Joe (January 11th)

So, remember me telling you about the Joe canvas we found by the dumpster? Meet Joe. Be Original.

Weep No More My Lady

Went to a game today. Go Cats! We won. Beat Vandy. Whoop. University of Kentucky basketball is a way of life around here. If you don't bleed blue, then you aren't a true Kentuckian. It's something that never leaves you...and if you aren't from around here...it is something that you wouldn't understand. C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS!

Hit the books. Don't let them hit you.

Well. It is time to hit the books again. I finally broke down and bought them today. No thanks to the state who is supposed to send me loan money, but somehow always succeeds in failing to get it here in time when I most need it. Hard to believe that six books cost nearly $700. Good news: after this semester...only two more of spending a ridiculous amount of money on books, lugging these SOB's around all day, and reading what seems to me to be a completely different language than that I am writing at this moment...

But. I know it will pay off.

The Man Wall...

So, I am sure you have heard of the "man room." Well, since we live in a one-bedroom apartment, Christopher has his "man wall." It consists of this sticker, a Joe Montana canvas depicting Joe holding a Coors light (we found it one night sitting on a chair in front of the dumpster while putting boxes in my sister's truck. It was as if a mans wife MADE him get rid of this Joe canvas...so he put it there...hoping someone would take care of him. We keep him on the man wall in front of the window so the man knows he is in good care.) The man wall also has a star wars painting...I bought this. What was I thinking? Crap.

Gumdrops falling from the sky...

My dad is in town this week. He came bearing gum drops and a card full of pictures of my little sister! Molly is her name. She is 6. I am 23. She is one of my best friends. My others being my other sisters and sister-in-laws and sister-in-law-to-be.
These colorful little treats are completely awful. I imagine I once liked the sugar-coated nothingness. But, these will not be going in my belly. Instead...I shall use them for cake toppings! Perfect.

Note To Self

I would like to say that I have wound up the lights, and will be putting them away shortly. However, this is not the case. Our tree still stands...taking up far too much room in this already-tiny apartment. These lights were our first Christmas mistake. Note to self: look at the box and be sure they are "green wires". I meant to return these, but then decided i needed the box to send a gift. So, I kept them...hoping that next year we will have a far bigger home, and somewhere to put these lights on.

The End.

Dance to the Rhythm

This is my nephew. Isn't he just a-dorable? This is the newest of my nieces and nephews. Not the first, or the last by far. Stinkin' really cute though. This little man is my fourth nephew...marks number seven when combining boys and girls. I have 4 nephews and 3 nieces. My second oldest brother's wife is currently pregnant with twin girls! So I will be posting those pictures sometime in February!

"Day 4" : Emmie

I know. I know. I missed yesterday. I suck at this picture a day thing. This little girl is Emmie aka little cub or da baby. She is a toy poodle...one big ball of fur. Can you believe she only weighs 6 pounds? We want to get an Irish Wolfhound...so Emmie can ride in a basket attached to his back. This will not happen this year, so you will not see pictures of it. Sorry.

My First Fondant Cake

I plan on blogging with my pictures. So, deal. I am kind of cheating here because it is the third and I am posting a picture taken a few days ago. But, this is my very first fondant cake. I am getting ready to make the second so you will probably see many more pictures. I definitely learned some tricks with the first one. I am in need of a turntable...icing tips...and more baking pans. As of right now I do not have different sized pans, so I cannot make double-tiered cakes. But, I will be buying these shortly.

The End.
