a gourmet meal. or not.
Ok, so quote/unquote
"all i want for my birthday is a night in with my lovely wife."
"oh" he says, "and spaghetti lobster, from the gordon ramsey cookbook, and that peach cobbler thing from the bakerella website."
great. i'll keep you posted.

playing with picnik
bored. exhausted. gettin too old for this workin bizness! ;) long days, long recovery. can i just say....why the hell did it take me 6 months to get back to yoga. eff ya! to unison yoga. if you get a chance, go take a class with wendy...just get to yoga. so peaceful & transforming.
my ass is firmly planted on the couch for the night. gots me some AI and.....my Gordon is back! Kitchen Nightmares baybeeee! yeeeah! the boys are safe & sound in their bedroom, the doggy is asleep, the green tea is a'flowin and the hubby is, well, home. and still getting used to that...loving it more & more each day.
tlc is gettin back on the bandwagon here after a much needed break...i'm happy bout that. having said all that, don't think i wouldn't get on a plane ASAP with the Trifecta for a vacay....sigh.
love, ROCKETGIRL xoxo

behold the Trifecta
look at this gorgeous start to the trifecta! we each have one! thank you buckshee! so thoughtful! so the trifecta met for the first time today. perfectly relaxing. tea, lounging, shopping, googling. i was a bad trifectess, apparently i was supposed to take minutes. OOPS! i am hosting & planning goodies for the next monthly meeting & i can't wait. i don't know if i can top chocolate raspberry bundt cakes but i do know that i totally adore Ms Cupcake & Brokeshopaholic. behold the trifecta! (insert gang sign here)
much love, ROCKETGIRL xoxo

the post about nothing.
i have been doing some pondering & wondering:
~who on earth would eat Schezuan KD?
~what on earth are all these social networking sites REALLY for?
~do you think we use our xoxo's a little too liberally?
~why didn't Triumph get more recognition? the band & the car...
~how should i cut my hair tomorrow?
i was supposed to do a night shift tonight but it got cut short by 8 hours. no complaints from me. 4 hours on the floor from hell, my floor, and a quick trip to the gym for a 30 minute cardio session and now, one cupcake, a cup of sweet peas? snow peas? snap peas? later oh and some rice crisps, ( i know, what was the point of the gym) i am sitting here watching PVR'd AI. Hahlariousssssssss. i can safely say it's the most joyous thing i have encountered all day. no wait, i lie. that was the 3rd most joyous. getting to go home early ranks up there. 2nd most joyous was waking up from my FIVE hour nap to find fed-ex had been here with my new yoga mat. most joyous of all was my first born accompanying me to the grocery store. he never wants to come shop. so that was really wonderful...i miss just me & quinn.
wednesday. a bit self indulgent. yoga. houseclean. haircut. mom-stuff. dinner. yoga. bootcamp. chillax & sort some shit out. i'm confused by my family, friends & loved ones.
breathe deeply. i think it will be ok.

:(
i'm enjoying the quiet of the house, the chatter of the tv.
i feel perfectly justified in sitting on the couch right now. the boys are gone, the dog & the steve are asleep. the exam is written (& passed...hello certification), the cookies are finished & wrapped, i went to yoga AND bootcamp. i SO miss yoga. talk about peace & serenity.
i have a raging headache. i ate too much meat & too many cookies. so much for all that exercise. my mind is going crazy. i got worries & troubles. just when things start to look up, i manage to fuck it all up. what else is new. at least i get to sleep in tomorrow.

oh TLC had some fun yesterday....we went shopping at the cake supply store in Langley, stocked up on cookie cutters. we have a sugar cookie order to go out this weekend...pics of course to follow...and after we made what we needed to for our order, we decided to play....
on another note, i survived bootcamp on monday. PHEW! another session tonight. i might hit yoga tonight before that in mission. we shall see....i so miss yoga.
i finished my online immunization course and am now certified. who needs to be immunized?
steve is plugging right along in school...SIL is living in the basement for a bit longer, the boys as always, are good.
i'm tired. when is bedtime????

& it has excedrin written all over it...
So, ( a needle pulling threaaaaaaad)
anyway. i'm hungry. another successful cake delivery for TLC means Big Mac for me???? uh, no.
not without my partner in crime...in the vault. hit it!
been a rough few days. i need two things; a vacation a) with the girls (i will settle for a sleepover or even a trifecta meeting) b) with my husband (to reconnect) and some light & peace...does that make sense? the bumps in the road are difficult
i have that fireflies song stuck in my head, i think normally it would be the kind of song that drives me right up the wall, but the boys LOVE it, and they sing it with such passion that it has quickly become a fave of mine...to the point that when i miss them, i listen to it.
one night shift in T minus 2 hours, then a week off. what am i going to do????

what's the opposite of happy?
doesn't matter. let's just say that the adjustment period isn't getting any easier.

my lovely lady lumps
just in case you ever thought that it was impossible for your saddle bags to hurt, i am living proof that it can happen. was that bootcamp? more like angry-devil-lunge-squat-maniacs in hell. can't wait for wednesday. i'd be in bed but i can't get up the stairs. waiting for steve to finish his popcorn so he can carry me.

shoot me!
screw the diet. the only thing that can fix the morning (& night, sleepless i might add) is a triple bypass. made by TLC. just one, one of the mini's. doesn't even count really...
you know, it's not a secret that today was back to school....but do you think we could find our backpacks, lunch bags, underwear even??????? even though "yes mom, everything is ready" was what i got last night.....
anyway, it's done, all boys in the house are gone to school, roy is off to the spa within the hour, the giant piles of laundry await...thank goodness for coffee.

so far so good...
i'm just sitting here, enjoying the noise of the kids, dog, the husband and anticipating tomorrow morning all at the same time! the kids go back to school & the hubby goes back to school for his last 3 months before writing his licensing exam. AND i still have 2 days off left to go....yessssss!
so it's been a bit strange to be honest having him home full time & knowing that he doesn't have to go away...in fact it's been hard to sleep & share a bed with someone again...all in due time i guess.
we had a nice NYE...low key, friends, babies, appys, DJ Hero. i picked up an extra shift NY day and got my ass kicked! last night, TLC was busy playing with cupcake liners & recipes & box orders while the spouses watched the fights. **rolls eyes**
today, TLC is busy with a custom cupcake order, and i am getting everyone prepped to go back to school. laundry, lunches, early to bed, early to rise...boy those Christmas holidays went fast...
i have bootcamp tomorrow night btw. feel sorry for me. :)
