Have my posts as of late sent you running for your nearest sweet indulgence? I have a terrible sweet tooth. (I blame it on my mother whose claim to fame was that even though she ate a pint of ice cream every night she still only gained 24 lbs while pregnant with me). I gained 80+ lbs with each of the girls, but believe me when I say that is a story for another time. ( I did loose it all…each time…with much pain and sweat though.)

Have I ever mentioned that I am still in college? Well, I am. And this week is more than tough. Its crazy. I have 2 huge tests…neither of which I feel prepared for, so this might be my last post for a few days.  Today, I bought a calculator that cost as much as a weeks worth of groceries in my house.  I turned it on. Now what? Why isn’t it unveiling the location of the holy grail for that price? It’s not. It’s just graphing coordinates.  Oh goody.

Great photo. Good luck with your tests. Don’t get me started on the cost of books and supplies for college!

Beautiful capture! M is so sweet, who cares about the cupcake. ;)

My dad bought one of the first portable calculators. It was so big and was over $200! Yikes!

Oh my good – luck with your week!

We bought DS one of those calculators when he was in high school, man those things are complicated.

Love that darling photo, she’s too cute!

That picture is gorgeous. I have said this before, but your daughter has the most beautiful eyes. Good luck this week.

Ohhh–are her eyes bigger than her stomach? Good luck on the school work and tests this week, Mandy.

mmmm…. cupcakes! I had to buy one of those freakishly expensive calculators… twice. Once in high school (I was the dork who loved math and took trig in HS), and then another one while I was in college (I was an even bigger dork because I chose to take trig in college, too!)

What a beautiful shot, her eyes are amazing! And BEST WISHES for much SUCCESS on your tests!!! I look forward to seeing your posts when you’re able to return. :)

Hi Mandy…you asked about a blanket on my last post. I’m not sure if you’re talking about the offwhite one or the zebra. They are both pillows from Costco actually. I had a rug like the off white one, but I dried it (bad move) and now it is all friz. I would love a blanket like that one!!! If you find one let me know and I will do the same!!

Becky - February 9, 2009 - 3:32 pm

Great photo! You are amazing! I am with you on the sweet tooth! Everything tastes better with sugar :) Good luck with your tests!

I love how big her eyes look, at the intense blue of them in contrast to the sweet pink. Wonderful facial expression that says she may have a sweet tooth too!

Kristin Rachelle - February 10, 2009 - 12:16 am

So adorable! And yummy!

Ellen - February 10, 2009 - 12:27 am
