30 things to make .....

............before I turn 30........

I don't really think that this is that daunting. Possibly because I cook all the time and I have a husband that is a chef at a fine dining restaurant (that is openly open at night- I get this reminder occasionally!). Well, I don't have a full list of 30 yet so obviously this will be a work in progress in my opinion it always nice to revisit something later.

1. Homemade Salsa
2. Rollout Sugar Cookies
3. Royal Icing for above cookies
4. a good homemade, vanilla cake
5. Frost the perfect cupcake
6. Homemade Pasta
7. Creme Brulee (thank you sissy for the torch for my birthday!)
8. Gelato
9. Chocolate Ice Cream
10. Apple Pie (this is for my husband)
11. Pizza Crust
12. Shrimp and Grits
13. Homemade Fondant
14. I saw Big Daddy's House (Aaron McCargo on the Food Network) one day that made a really cool, kid friendly meal and I want to make this meal one day-- It consisted of Meatballs that were wrapped around mini-mozzarella balls, homemade garlic bread, salad, and something else
15. Smitten Kitchen's arroz con leche ( this was the very first *starred* item in my beloved Google reader!)
16. Pioneer Woman's Cinnamon Rolls

Obviously it's not complete yet!! but we will get there!!
UPDATE!!!
17. Whoopie Pies

My baby......

Is doing what I used to do!!! Stand at the oven!!! Now if it only had a light switch like my grammie and grampie's did!!!

29.......

So, here I am, 2 weeks after turning 29. I am really contemplating my life right now. I have a job that I basically hate and a husband that I rarely see because of his job. Even though I am thankful (very thankful) that both of us are employed I would like to be more fulfilled or satisfied I guess. For instance, yesterday I kept trying to look back and trying to place where I was happy or just satisfied fully and it all pinpointed back to me being happy with my job or work. See my husband has a "career" as he puts it. I just have a job and I think I want a career like many people have. I know it will be hard to in this economy but maybe it will happen.

Giveaways......

I LOVE getting free stuff and signing up for giveaways! The latest round of winning has been part of a Dad's Rock Giveaway Bash hosted by 14 different bloggers! I won 2 $50 VISA Giftcards and some really cool Father's Day Cards! BUT I really want to win this CSN STORES giveaway! Mainly because it is for a $60 gift certificate BUT it would truly help us too! We really need a 2nd car seat and a bigger car seat for Mr. Cole! So Thank you Sinful Southern Sweets for the Giveaway-- I really want to win!!!

Coley

Mr. Coley Woley Rotten Pants is getting tubes on Tuesday. Please keep him and us in your prayers because we really hope this clears up his ear infections.

120

120. Interesting Number I know. No, it's not the age I turned on Monday. Thank you very much. It is the number of blogs in my GOOGLE READER. I found this lovely invention in March I believe. and. have. loved. every. minute. I think I find a new blog to add to it everyday. which is kinda scary...... anywho, I am a bad blogger and need to become better. so hopefully I will be!

Time....

I really wonder how some people do it. Mommy bloggers, homeschooling mamas-- etc....... I have an almost ten month old and sometimes go crazy and it's not like I do very much either OR maybe I don't feel like I do very much even though my husband does tell me otherwise. My house is generally clean most of the time-- neither my husband or I are clean freak but the house is tidy and normally gets cleaned,cleaned about once a month which isn't that bad! My birthday is in approximately 4 days now and while it is very interesting that my mom and my sister and even my husband have taken this day off only one person has asked what I want to do that day. My husband has suggested stuff but only my sister has asked! I want a pedicure! I want sorbet from 212! hmm the free dinner at Provinos would be nice and even a trip to Ikea would be nice but Ikea isn't necessary by any means....
