Further Proof It's Good To Be Queen

Because anyone who reads this blog probably isn't 100% sure I am spoiled rotten.

My birthday haul. How cute is the purse? I love it and the shoes! I also love that DQ gets me a purse and shoes. She knows her Mama! I made my cake this year. Completely my decision. White Sour Cream Almond filled with rasberry jam and frosted with whipped cream icing. Mmmmmmm. Good thing I've opted to postpone the watching what I eat until my birthday celebration wraps up, eh? I've got green curry and lemon pie coming this weekend. The money is for a much-needed haircut and pedicure. I know what I'm doing on Mother's Day! You can't see the Bath & Body Works stuff that Mr. Clairol picked out for me. Orange and Ginger, mmmmmm. Just the thing to soak in while I read the new Jim Butcher novel.

The bushel baskets are from Andrea, and had a sweet surprise all their own.


She made me sugar cookies! Most of you have no idea how fantastic her cookies are. I dream of them all year, until Christmas rolls around and she sends out her cookie plates. I never, never share the sugar cookies, though I did let the wee ones split a cookie when we picked up big sis. It was my birthday and I was feeling generous. Don't tell my husband, but they are probably my favorite gift this year!


And how can I forget the roses my husband brought me? Every girl needs a dozen roses, now and then.

A lovely, lovely birthday. Lots of hugs and kisses, lots of laughter, lots of well wishes. I literally could not ask for more. Thank you all for your kind thoughts!

Welcome to My World

It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.


Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.


Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.


Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.

Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.


The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.


This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.
