because
that can't be right.
somewhere along the line
i think we must have done the
math wrong...
he can't be 18
already.
i want to stop time.
freeze the clock.
when is someone going to
make an app
that lets you
rewind
and live in those little moments again..
18 years.
and i couldn't be prouder.
a perfect mix of sweet and sarcastic,
responsible and fun,
interested in everything...
from fixing his own car to video games to go pros and airsoft guns,
always patiently smiling & nodding
when i make him look at
robots i drew and new markers i bought and
toys that i found...
always willing to run to needs, to the grocery store,
to drive me to work, to fill the car with gas...
happy birthday bighead...
now...how do you feel about
picking up your own cake?
:) :) :) :)
♥♥♥ with surprise desk deliveries of new toys for my collection...2 smurfs AND this
adorable cookie monster with an ice cream cone. sigh. such awesome sweet co-worker friends i have. ♥♥♥
♥♥♥ this show. i mean...it's about a kid called mayonnaise. and yeah, it's a kid's show.
but let's face it...that's what i apparently relate best to. oh...and if you watch it,
please tell me you laughed just as hard as i did at "i'm a banana".
♥♥♥ i have been listening to this a lot.
♥♥♥ and yeah...i got sucked into this. i didn't want to.
i watched the first one and was all like...what! that's not really what
Archie was like...why isn't jughead eating burgers...mr lodge isn't in jail!
but...i kinda wanna know what happened to jason blossom.
and the soundtrack isn't bad either.
♥♥♥ the response to the 365 robot love project.
and my favorite thing to hear is "my kid loves your robots".
that literally just makes my heart bounce up and down...
totally in a good way.
♥♥♥ flannel sheets back on the bed...big fluffy duvets...fuzzy socks...fleece lined leggings
♥♥♥ homemade strawberry sauce...how have i NEVER made this before...
♥♥♥ kindereggs with MINIONS
♥♥♥ fall leaves...
from my OWN tomatoes!!! out of my garden!!
the truth is
i made tomato soup yesterday too
but i'm not really sure why i thought
that tomato soup
made with carrots
and vegetable broth
would not taste like
VEGETABLES...
because it did.
it totally did.
it smelled like vomit.
and the carrots left a weird texture.
and it smelled like vomit.
i had to throw it out.
today
i started from scratch.
i had liked about 6 different recipes
on pinterest
so ended up pulling a little from each
i roasted the tomatoes with garlic and onion
and then put it in the ninja and
mushed it up
(disclaimer #1 - i never claimed that i could write a recipe
so bear with me...i don't know the technical terms)...
then put it in the slow cooker
with CHICKEN BROTH
(not vegetable broth...)
and basil pesto, cream, a handful of sugar,
a dollop of butter, salt & pepper
and it worked!
it was so good!
even 17, who said "i don't like tomato soup"
dipped his grilled cheese & bacon into our soup
and then said..."well...i don't like heinz tomato soup...
but this? This is good"
and went & got a bowl for himself.
yay me!
i should start a cooking youtube channel...
and call it
cooking with luck or something equally clever.
:)
disclaimer #2 - the amazing grilled cheese & bacon sandwiches
were not cooked by me.
i do not handle cooking any food that spits hot grease at me.
That's S's department
(and he makes the BEST grilled cheese & bacon).
it's been a long time
since i have done a "friday i'm in love"...
:)
♥ with season premieres! old favorites and brand new ones...(what are you watching?)
♥ with this show...i am so sorry that i scoffed at it once upon a time...i'm definitely hooked now.
♥ the foo fighters have a new album (again...what do you call it now? album? cd? songs you magically pull out of the air? i never know anymore)...and i have heard that i should check out the documentary on netflix, so i am adding that to my list.
♥ this song
♥ people finding things they thought they had lost forever...
♥ with all the sunflowers in my yard finally
♥ with my maple apple cider bourbon scented candle from Superstore. i regret not buying more of these.
♥ with the thought of maybe trying this for October...but sticking with robot theme maybe...
♥ i don't like the weather is getting cooler...but i do like chicken fricot.
♥ superstore had the markers i was looking for...for A DOLLAR NINETY SEVEN. and yeah, i'm not embarrassed to say they were crayola markers for ages 5 and up. heh.
what are you watching/reading/listening to right now?
i'm always looking for ideas!
:)
