40 eve

Tomorrow I turn 40.  I'll have more to say about that tomorrow, for now I just want to say: Hi!  How've y'all been doin'?

It's been a while.  A LONG while.  So sorry.

I've been preoccupied with selling 105 cases of Girl Guide cookies.  I was starting to dream about Girl Guide cookies although, ironically, I can't even eat the damn things since they're chalk full of gluten.

Other things have been going on in my life as well.  I've done some stuff, learned some new things, made some decisions, done stuff with the kids.  Such as:

I'm learning to do this:

First try.  Not bad.  Will get better.  Homemade fondant.

And yesterday I did this:

Definitely good for a first go.  Too sweet though.

And last week I did this:

Major cutbacks happening in Ottawa!

After previously looking like this (it was actually a few inches longer than this even):

Major improvement.  Who's the hippie?!

And a few days ago I made this:

It's time to get fascinating.  This will be my headwear at a tea in June celebrating dear Liz's long reign.

 

 

This week I also attended (and helped with) Hope's first t-ball game and Emily's first baseball game of the season.  I also watched Emily rule the stage during the talent show as she showed off her made hooping skills.  I'm planning my birthday shindig for Saturday.  Eating too much of that darn cake above and making promises to get outside and move my jiggly butt more.  I've been gardening and redesigning the garden and loving every minute of it.

And now, it's time to say goodbye to my thirties.  Tomorrow I wake up 40 and fabulous!
