Better Than Sex

I made a treat for Dale to take to his office party today.  A chocolate sheet cake with decadent vanilla frosting sprinkled with peppermint candies.  It was "evil" according to one lady.  This morning about six I'm putting it on a platter in little squares.  One of the squares breaks and I'm pretty sure there's a law out there that you have to eat the broken pieces.  (My trainer says you're supposed to throw them away. Silly trainer.)

Dale comes down the stairs and sees me munching on this little piece of heaven and say, "Isn't it way to early for that?"  My reply to him was, "In your world there's never a bad time for sex.  In my world there's never a bad time for chocolate cake."

I think I put it in terms he could understand.

Room Mother

I remember my mom being my room mother, so I jumped at the chance this year to be Stryder's room mother.  The holiday party ended up being great and I even discovered I have some mad dreidel making skills.  While it wasn't out of clay, it served the purpose and the kids had a great time learning a new game.

Livingood Family Christmas Party

The Livingood Family Christmas Party was so fun this year!  Nice to have little children around again to enjoy Santa - one of my dad's favorite traditions.  I also made mom's fudge and peanut brittle recipes so it felt like they were at least there in spirit.  All but two of the grandkids made it this year and Santa was in fine form and kept us all laughing.  After implying that Mitch wanted a girlfriend for Christmas Mitch replied that he might want a new Santa. 

It was fun to spend time with my sisters and their families and it felt good to complete three dozen hygiene kits for the humanitarian center.  I love my family!

A Blog Is Born

My cute sister Larali has been asking for quite some time now when I'm going to start a blog.  Well I wasn't thinking straight around five o'clock one morning and set one up.  So Lara.......this is for you!
