Food Porn and Thursday Random

First off is some really good food porn: an Italian cream cake that my mom made from scratch in my kitchen for my husband's birthday on her day off. Yes, I have the world's greatest mom. No, you may not borrow her. PS: It was que delicioso, mom. Thanks! Yum.

Next up: our rats have moved to our neighbor's attic. Those doggone smart attic rats are now duping our buddy with the ginormous plasma flatscreen. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, good. Moral of the story: we no longer have rats.

My EIGHT MONTH OLD (where, oh where, has the time gone) is now CRAWLING, CRUISING, PULLING UP ON EVERYTHING, and now LETTING GO AND BALANCING. Please, please tell me I will not be literally chasing this kid around soon. Early walking = happy Zane = sad mommy = tired mommy.

An update on the saga of the EBay HUSSIES. As a seller, hussies = good. Bring it on, hussies! Again, if you have no clue what I'm talking about, that's probably pretty good!

Finally, I got to check out some blogs yesterday as the munchkin slept. I am so out of the loop but trying to catch up somewhat and drop some comments. Sorry if they don't make sense. I don't sleep a lot!

One more thing: SHOUT OUT TO NAN! Yeah! I am so glad you read the blog. That makes me feel better about not keeping in touch since we graduated despite the fact that we lived together for 3 1/2 years. Sabrina = Bad Friend. I hope you are great. Thanks for reading!

To other non-commenters who read the blog frequently. It's cool. I get it. You might not be sure of the whole "blogging" or "commenting" thing. Your work filter might prevent you from doing so. That's cool. It would just be awesome if you dropped me an e-mail every once in a while to let me know you were reading. Or not. That's cool, too. Just keep reading. Whatever. . .

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my AWESOME HUSBAND (a day late). You are going to have a fantastic (age withheld) year!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

For those of you who care about the minutiae of my life, the kiddo has totally refused any kind of mashed or pureed food. He will ONLY eat things he can pick up and put in his mouth. (And he's getting good at this, by the way--at least a 75% completion rate now.) So today we ate: Cheerios, Puffs, Goldfish, Carrot bits, peas, and corn. And I got a spoonful of peach yogurt down him. Yeah, that all together at the same time is pretty gross. Top it off with some pear juice and water and *SHAZAM* it's a meal.

Well, if you are still reading GOOD FOR YOU, dedicated reader. This was totally random, but I needed to post about a few tidbits. Yippee!!!
