Purchasing Prohibition

Filed under: Household — JeniQ @ 7:09 am

Ele just posted about their resolution to buy nothing new for the month of October. I’m not going to commit to that, but I will think about the concept by listing here what I have bought.

One of my excuses for buying new is that it’s just easier than combing thrift stores, CraigsList and Freecycle. Back in the day, I would totally spend the time to hunt thrift stores and other bargains, but these days it seems we’re just so pressed for time.

P.S. What’s up with this frugal chic thing? Does anyone who’s really broke think it’s so cool?

List of October purchases:

  • six onesies
  • Halloween costume
  • baby spoons
  • sippy cup
  • toy blocks for Henry

Birthday Cake

Filed under: Birthday,Gifties — JeniQ @ 12:40 pm

Did I mention how cool Dave is? He made me an awesome dinner and a spectacular cake for my birthday, and had Mom arrive just in time to celebrate with us.

The cake is called “In the Pink” and is from a Duncan Hines cake mix cookbook. It’s a lemon cake with a layer of pink lemonade ice cream and pink lemon frosting. I LOVED it!! Super yummy! He is so talented!

My Cake!

Happy Girl

I’ll take mine with sprinkles, please

This cake was way better than the one David Bowie made for me.

The cake went perfectly with my kushy new Red Envelope slippers from my nephews, Nolan and Jonah!
Pretty in Pink!

Oh, and dinner was broiled fish with a healthy grain and vegetable medley. But it wasn’t as good as the cake. 🙂

Am listening to the David Bowie station on LastFM. A Roxy Music song just came up, and when the artist changes, the bio information displays for that artist.

I LOVE ROXY MUSIC!
As I read this, I finished the sentence in my head…
“…not important.”

Hahahahahahah!

Someone made me a cake!
More cake!
But why is he blowing out my candles for me…?

Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday. I started off the day with breakfast in bed, thanks to my honey and my baby boy. 😉 Love you two!

How many candles?

i love Durham

Filed under: Entertainment — JeniQ @ 6:23 pm

Dave wanted mellow mushroom for dinner but I hate fighting with the traffic, the parking, and having to wait for a table. Plus little Henry makes it harder to wait to get sat. So we headed to the Mushroom down in Durham’s historic tobacco district. Yay for no waiting! It was a million times better than hitting south Glenwood.

(Don’t forget to ask them to add cinnamon to your Hawaiian pizza!)

Cleveland Air Show

Filed under: Entertainment — JeniQ @ 10:53 pm

While up in Cleveland, we got to see the Cleveland Air Show. It was, in the true sense of the word, awesome. This included a display by the Blue Angels.

I was a bit overwhlemed with the patriotic, nationlistic pride I felt at this awesome display of force. I frequently get teary-eyed at, well, lots of things, to be truthful, and this one was right up there. Go Team America!

Here are some assorted pictures. Maybe one day I’ll have time to upload the videos I took.

Baby Picture Comparison, Finally

Filed under: Babies,Henry — JeniQ @ 9:54 pm

I’m only about 7 months late with this post. (Anyone out there want to ghostwrite my blog for me?) Now you can compare Henry’s baby picture with both mine and Dave’s. What do you think?

This past week, he made these fabulous meals:

Every meal was delish, and it was so awesome to have him pick up the cooking duties in the kitchen. And he’s really learning how to cook. I’m so proud of him, and love having him cook dinner these days!

Yayayayayayay!

Jacob is writing recaps (on Television Without Pity) for True Blood. Hoooray!
Trust me when I say that most every time, reading Jacob’s recaps are better than watching the show itself. If I could just get a few Youtube snippets of Bill’s smoldering eyes, that’s all I’d need.

And can I just say that I vehemently disagree with the location of the fangs in the True Blood vampires. They have them as the maxillary lateral incisors, not the maxilary canines. I disagree with this location – they look funny.

Maxillary lateral incisors - what were they thinking?
