the letter "s"

So my friend tagged me with the letter "s" and here is what I came up with

SHEARS: I couldn't live without my hair shears! It is my way to be social and hopefully make people feel better when they leave my salon.

SASSY: Those who know me, this is probably the first "s" word that came to their mind!

SODA: Can't live without the amazing Dr. Pepper! It's my security blanket with 2 crazy kids!

SISTER: I love being the big sister. My family means everything to me. I miss them being so far away!

SUPER SAVER SHOPPER: I love to shop for the best deals and I'm always so proud of myself when I find the really good ones!

I asked Dave to come up with "S" words that described me and here is his list. How good of a husband do I have?
sounding board, smart, savvy, sober, super, strong willed, scrappy, stupendous, sensitive of others needs and feelings, superb, suprising, service oriented, sharer (that really a word?), selfless, slender (love is blind!), spontaneous, squatter (living in china), suave, sweet, swift, survivor.
It got a little out of control, but he's funny!

my cake

So i've been taking a cake decorating class, and last night was our final class for this course. It turned out better than I thought, so I thought I'd share. I forgot to take a picture before I took a bite out of it! woops!

claire's eye surgery

Claire was such a brave girl today for her eye surgery. She had a stye that needed to be removed. Nothin too big. But they did have to cut the inside of the eye and the outside and scrape a bunch a gunk out. Ick! But things went well and she is enjoying Dora on the couch right now.

my first ballet recital

Who says 27 is too old for yoiur first ballet recital? One of the young women held a talent show for an activity and I thought I would be the comic relief! I did a water ballet piece to the "Nutcracker." If I must say, it was the hit of the show!

Halloween Parade

Claire had so much fun "marching like ants" as Claire would say, in our neighborhood Halloween parade. We got to follow the fire truck and it even parked by Claire's house! Her and her little friends had fun dancing and singing on the back of the truck.

(but not sick enough to polish off an entire hershey's bar right after. who says you need to make smores with it?)
