On being sick and other boring stuff

It really sucks to be sick in the summertime. Seems like the sore throat, cough and stuffiness is just all the worse when accompanied by the summer heat and humidity. All I've been doing this whole weekend was laying about, reading (The Boleyn Inheritance), napping, and a bit of surfing the web. At least my sore throat is mostly gone, though it's still a bit scratchy and my head is kind of in a fog.

I did manage to get to church last night and have dinner with Terry afterwards at Carrabba's. We finally got to celebrate my new job (even though it's been about a month) and his promotion. He's now working as advertising coordinator and has a few guys answering to him, which is great. It came with a nice pay boost too, which certainly is nice for him. Looks like finally he's being rewarded for his hard work!

The kids have been having a laid back summer, mostly hanging out with friends. They are happy to not have to deal with school right now of course, and are enjoying the pool. We were supposed to go to the waterpark today but since I've got the crud we put it off til next week. There are a few movies coming up that we want to see too - including Get Smart on June 20th.

Isn't this the most boring blog entry ever? Sorry but I guess that's what a weekend of bedrest will do to a blog. *Yawn* time for a little nap.

    Hey you guys should go see Kung Fu Panda! I am NOT a Jack Black fan and went to see it under protest, but we all loved it. Phil, both my super too cool to go to a cartoon kids and my 10 year old niece. It was a really good family flick.

    I can't wait for Get Smart (I love me some Dwayne Johnson!!), Hancock and Hellboy II!!

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
