Cake Balls!!!


Well, I thought I would try to make the cake balls everyone is talking about today while I was off work. Gave me something to do anyways! Here is how it went…

Bakety, bakety, bake..bake..bake…

I just had Terence test one out for me. He said they were pretty good! It was kind of messy though and the red velvet cake dye didn’t help much, whatever it touches turns red! I’m glad I finally tried it out to see what all the fuss is about. I made smiley faces. I wanted to do some sort of fall them, but it didn’t work out that way. I bought the cute little jeweled skewers and it looks like the smiley faces are throwing a party with a kazoo coming out of their mouths. If you haven’t made these cuties you can find recipes for them at BAKERELLA.

Dear Lord why is it 80 degrees in November? Please send some cold our way. I would be very thankful for it!

Terence and I have been talking about where we would like to move if he gets a job somewhere other than here in TX. I said just somewhere a little cooler would be nice. Then he said “what about Alaska?” I think that would be awesome, especially since my BFF Sara lives there. But I don’t know about living that far away. That kinda freaks me out a little But we will go wherever the Lord leads us.

Starbucks has all their Christmas coffees out now! Including eggnog latte, peppermint twist mocha,and a variety of hot chocolates. Yeah! I love it! I tried the “Truffle latte” today. It is the signature hot chocolate with shots of espresso…it was DELISH!

Also-in my mailbox today I got two free truffles from Godiva! Love free stuff! Bring on the chocolate pleazzzzzze!

Tonight is election night and no matter what the outcome just remember who is really in control of our country! God! Amen…that’s all I have to say about that 🙂

Hubby wanted to get me one of my favorite movies on Blu-Ray.
Love, love, love this movie and because of it we MUST go to Ireland!
Also, sweet sister sent me a Twilight bookmark. She and I are both obsessed with everything Twilight right now. My husband says we are like a couple of teenagers with this obsession. She’s flying to see me on Nov. 21st weekend to go see the movie together and I’m beyond excited about it! We are going to take Fort Worth by storm!
I’m trying to get into reading The Host, which is another book written by Stephenie Meyer. So far I keep comparing it to the Twilight series and then keep going back and re-reading the other books. But it’s good so far, I just need a quiet moment to get into it and read a little more.
Also,
Thank you for all your sweet words! I’m feeling better today…still tired….but better for the most part. XOXO Becky

Trip to the ER

This has been QUITE a day! I left from work this morning to go to the ER because I was bleeding really bad all night and wasn’t feeling well this morning. They took some blood work and did an exam. Everything was fine. I had a slight fever and my blood count was a little low.

I am so sick of this…and it makes me scared. Scared that I’ll never be able to have children and nobody can fix it. Just the same old thing…temporary medicine. I’m getting very discouraged and if this keeps up I don’t know what I’ll do. I just don’t want to have a hysterectomy before age 30! The nurse was so nice and understanding. My hormones are going crazy right now, poor Terence has to deal with me on edge like this! Time for a NAP!

Holiday wrapping?

I know it’s still technically October, but I have an unusual, abnormal obsession with gift wrap. I’m already thinking about it. I’ve actually seen a lot for sale too at Target and Hallmark. I love thick paper that creases well in the seams. Where is your favorite place to get wrapping paper and do you do a color theme or just mix and match papers? If you have a fave site you love leave it in the comments so I can get some ideas 🙂
