January's Cake Is...

Martha's Meyer Lemon Anniversary Cake

For the month of January I have decide to skip this cake. When reading her website it says that it serves 45+ people. Since I can't plan a party before the month is over I am skipping out this month. It is a beautiful cake and looks simple but challenging. Maybe next January I will make it for my Grandma's birthday.

I can't wait for February's cake, I already have my grocery list ready.

A Year Of Cakes

Today at work I was surfing my friend Martha Stewart's web site and found "A Year Of Cakes", this is something I am going to start doing. I figured that I could make the dessert and then take a picture and post her picture with mine and we can see how my cake turns out. Hopefully I will have great success. The only problem is that most of the cakes are for 8-10 people and it is only Keith and I, so if you want some come and get it. Here is the link if you are interested in doing this http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=ffcece908332f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default

Fire

I am not really sure what Keith and I would do without our fireplace. This is a way of life for both of us. We grew up with fire's all the time in our childhood fireplaces. This is something that is relaxing, calming and warming all at once.

King of the Chair

I guess our cat is taking of Keith's man chair!

Our New Years Resolutions

Angie’s Resolutions

So I figured since this is 2008 that I would have 8 resolutions that I could and hopefully will stick by. Wish me luck and motivate me if you see me slipping.

1. Lose 15 - 20 pounds by my birthday
2. See grandparents at least twice a month
3. Don’t eat junk food
4. Write more letters instead of emails
5. Say my prayers before bedtime
6. Recycle more
7. Be cautious of how I treat people
8. Give complements, don't be afraid to say them


Keith’s Resolutions

1. Work out more

After hearing that he just had one, I asked him why don’t you challenge yourself and set a few more. His response was “Why make them if you can’t keep them.”

Wednesday Date Night

Jennifer and I had our usual Wednesday date this week but with a twist. Shalon came over and they scrap booked. I don't scrapbook but I motivated, cut paper and keep the conversation going. Jennifer's was of Cason's 1st Halloween, it was cute and funky all at the same time. Shalon did her page on the Koalas at the Australian Zoo from there honeymoon. It was fun and we had a blast.

Here is Britt and Cason sleeping in Cason's nursery after a night of hanging out with the guys (Cason & Britt).
