WIP

This is my latest work in progress:


Last Sunday I snuck downstairs while Steve was napping to surprise him with cinnamon rolls.  Coincidentally, that was also what my sweet tooth was most interested in that day!  Do I know how to make cinnamon rolls?  Being the antithesis of a baking goddess that I am, NO, but I'm learning that few things--including lack of knowledge--can stand in the way of a pregnant lady and food making wonderful treats for her husband.  I used the Lion House Cinnamon Roll recipe and the first batch were deformed blobs (see above).  The second batch I made later in the week were much improved.  Pretty soon I'm going to be better at making these than anyone else in my house.

Stuck in a Rut


This is what happens when your neighborhood has ditches instead of sidewalks.  Don't feel bad, van driver.  You're not the first and certainly not the last to do this!

Something to Write Home About

This landmark event took place in our neighborhood this week:


No train horn!  
The noise wasn't terrible in our current house but my previous residence down the street was only 100 feet from the tracks.  The house would rumble and we had to use our "train voices" whenever a train passed.  I smiled to myself a couple days ago when all I could hear of the train was a faint bell ringing.

Tan in Town


Dear Supertan,
Thank you for allowing one of your top employees to spend her birthday 600 miles away.  You might be interested to know that she voluntarily advertised for your establishment via the Supertan camo...and tan, of course, in the Houston market.  She appeared to have enjoyed her time here, except while being photographed next to Mr. and Mrs. Steve B.  weird!
