Cookies & The Doctor

I made my oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good!


Little Miss loves them!


Mo read a book to a baby in the doctor waiting room today. She put a piece of sticker in her nose last night, so she had to go in.

Me and Teen Miss have also gone in this week. I won't say what Teen Miss went in for, that's her business. I went it because I had a brief episode of aphasia Wednesday night. I have to go in again Monday. That's all I'm going to say because not even my mother knows that something happened yet, lol.

I'm still working on the dragons for Christy. I got sick right before she left for her out of country vacation, then I procrastinated, then I had my "episode" and have been trying not to stress.

I'm on track for my calorie intake today. When I had the aphasia the other night, it was a wake up call that I really need to get serious about taking care of myself.

Tomorrow, Morgana and I are going to have our monthly sleepover at Nana and Papa's. Excited!

Have a great weekend!

Fantastic Friday!

Little Miss is currently addicted to oranges. So, I'm buying and cutting ala-hot of oranges lately. Hey, there could be worse things for your toddler to be addicted to, yeah?


I'm crocheting and amigurumi bunny, similar to Morgana's baby dragon, for a co-worker of Stu's to buy. Today, I put on the face and finished up the head. I'll do the ears next.


Last night, Little Miss enjoyed a desset of the saltine toffee I made. She likes to dip it in milk.


Little Miss has been potty training since January. We only ask if she wants to go and offer for her to sit on the potty. For a while I was only offering at bath/shower time before bed. Last night, I offered at a diaper change and she went. Then again before bed. This morning she went again at diaper change! So, this morning's potty completed a sticker chart and she got a prize! She went a total of 4 times today!


Friday library trip.


Yes, we checked this book out from the library. It's Morgana's favorite library book this week.

I was going to paint my nails tonight, but it's getting late and I want to knit.

Also, there's some Doritos and cottage cheese that my husband bought me... they're calling my name. Yeah, blew my calorie count today.

Until next time!

How Long Was I Sleeping?

I meant to post last night, but I fell asleep with Morgana when I put her to bed and didn't wake up until almost 3:30 am and went to my bed. Sorry, guys. (And sorry to my husband who I was supposed to watch an episode of Star Trek Enterprise with.)

I can't remember everything that we did yesterday, but here are the pictures I took yesterday and some that were taken in the last week or two.


Navy blue afro or long live the queen? I think I've exposed her to too much RuPaul's Drag Race (which I'm over watching drag queen shows, even if just for a bit).


Morgana got a Doc McStuffins dry erase table with markers from Nana and Papa as a late birthday present. Her face looks so weird. I think this was just before her squinty, big grin "cheese!" face.


I got Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2!!! Yay!!! I hadn't even seen it in theaters. I watched it with Teen Miss on Monday. It was fun to watch. =)


Morgana had her first dentist appointment yesterday and got a new princess toothbrush! She did great! She was a bit nervous, got startled and little spooked a couple times, kept asking to be done and if she could get down, but she still did really great! I sat right next to her on the chair and touched her the whole time. Just wish the dentist and hygenist weren't such loud talkers. I don't think that fostered a calm and relaxing environment, lol.


I made frozen yogurt bites for Morgana after seeing them on Pinterest.


I made saltine cracker toffee. OMG, you guys! This stuff is superb! I found the recipe at A Southern Grace blog.

I also soaked off my acrylics. I just get so fed up with acrylics when they lift because I don't want to deal with the lifting. It's challenging and I can never get that sliver of an air pocket under the edge filed down before filling them. I hope to fight the urge to put acrylics on again and grow my own nails out again. Being a stay at home mom who cleans house and constantly has her hands in water from all the cleaning, dishes washing/rinsing, hand washing and Little Miss face washing I do all day makes it hard to have a manicure that lasts more than a day and to not break nails constantly. But! I found this video on youtube and hopefully following this will help. I subscribed to her channel. She does awesome nail art AND she crochets!

My weight loss / healthy lifestyle change journey is not going so well. I haven't lost any weight since I've been trying (trying, not doing) to get healthier for several months. I know everything I need to do, I just can't get myself to stick to it. I know I'm getting enough activity, because I'm maintaining my weight, even when I eat like I'm eating for three. I just need to get my food in check. I am really sick of being overweight and that's what drives me when I do well. But, I never make it even 24 hours before doing something unhealthy. Sigh. Guess it's time to pray for the strength and willpower to do it. I should have been praying from the start.

Until next time!
