A Baby and a Puppy

30 Jul

Wanna know what happens when you let a two year old play with a three week old puppy?

The two year old will put the puppy in her Barbie jeep.

Two year olds have not yet mastered the skill of driving, even if it’s just a Barbie jeep.

Oops! They’ve hit a wall!!

The puppy was just fine and only suffered emotional stress from too much love from a two year old.

I think I made up a new word. ANNNNNDDDDD Great news! My cupcakes from this post turned out a-okay!

First I mixed the ingredients.

Then I liked the beaters clean (see next picture).

I wasn’t 100% thrilled with what the cupcake papers looked like once they were baked. Oh well! At least their contents tasted good.

And most importantly, the birthday girl was happy with her birthday treat.

Happy Birthday, Brooke!

Cupcakes

25 Jul

Guilty as charged. I love cupcakes just as much as the next guy does. Cupcakes seem to be the trendiest treat around. I may just like the way they look more than how they taste. Okay, maybe I’m lying.

New subject, sorta. My sister is turning a quarter of a century old on Wednesday. For her this means finding her own medical insurance as she’s no longer eligible to be a dependent on my mom’s work sponsored plan. It also means she’s getting older. To celebrate, I’m making her cupcakes! I can’t wait.

Pictured here are some of the supplies I’ll be using. Chocolate cake mix, fun cupcake papers and sprinkles!

Cupcake papers are from http://www.bakeitpretty.com/.

If the cupcakes look nearly as cute as the cupcake papers, I’ll post a picture. If they look terrible, I’ll still post a picture.

XOXO

A Cleaner, Better, Safer Way to Die

23 Jul

Caution: the post you are about to read is morbid.

Today as I skimmed Costco’s email ad and noticed an Electronic Cigarette. What the H.E. double hockey sticks is that you say?!

Photobucket

According to the advertisment, “…NJOYâ„¢Cigarettes are a fantastic alternative to traditional cigarettes. They can be legally smoked in bars, restaurants, the work place, and even TSA approved for airports.” They are battery opperated thingys that deliver nicotine, but without the second hand smoke.

You should also know that this product, “…contains nicotine, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.”

Rest assured my friends, Costco also sells wheel chairs for when lung cancer and emphysema patients no longer have the lung capacity to breath while walking.

Photobucket

Then when the person in the chair is no longer breathing due to one too many cigarettes (battery operated and traditional cigs), Costco provides beautiful caskets.

Photobucket

Moral of the story: Don’t smoke & shop at Costco.

Live long and prosper,
Rizzle

Having a Baby?

6 Jul

I have a friend. I know, hard to believe. This friend of mine is actually very talented and even has her very own Etsy shop! Not only is she a stationary designing genius, she can sew!
I highly recommend her work to anyone looking for a baby announcment, throwing a baby shower, or even a child’s birthday party!

I’m in the process of designing a baby shower invitation for a shower I’m throwing in September. I can’t wait to share the finished product with you. Without a doubt, it’s going to be great!

To shop Brady Boo Baby on Etsy, click here.

I told you she can sew. Check out these deliciously, adorable burp cloths. What mom wouldn’t want a set of these??
Photobucket

Just like all of Brady Boo Baby’s designs, this announcment is totally customizable. You could get it in cherry red if you wanted.
Photobucket

Look at this little cutey. I bet if you didn’t want a bear, Brady Boo Baby could use a chick or a rattle or even a goat. Okay, maybe nobody would want a goat on their baby shower invite, but maybe. And really, my point is you could make this your very own unique invitation. What’s not to love about that?

Out of Breath

2 Jul

Two weeks ago I heaved by purse on the floor next to my desk and sat down in my chair as I do every Monday through Friday. Only, this day was different. I looked at my docking station and noticed my laptop wasn’t there. To my dismay I had completely forgotten my laptop at home. To make matters worse, I was dropped off at work so I had no way of driving the 30 mile commute back home to get my job, my life, my oxygen. I panicked and called Kat Daddy. He didn’t pick up. I called him again. He didn’t pick up. I called him again. Still no answer. I fumbled through my phone for his work number. I called his desk. Again, no answer. I was nearly at the point of tears. I thought to go to IT for a loaner computer, but realized I had a report saved to my hard drive that I needed that day. I remembered I had a roommate (my sister) who might possibly be home. So I took my chances at 8:30 AM and gave her a ring. The angels sang, my sister picked up. And she had no where to be. So I pleaded and begged for her to pleaaassssseee bring me my laptop. Without hesitation, she jumped in the car and brought it to me. Oh, what a nice sister she is.

I was able breathe once again.

Amen.

I’m so excited! I bought myself a new camera. Now I’m going to pretend I’m a professional photographer and post my works of art.

But first I need to wait for the camera to arrive from the man in brown (UPS).

Then I need to charge the battery.

While I’m waiting for it to charge, I need to read the manual.

So it’s going to be a while before I produce and of this so called art.
