And now, it’s my turn! I can’t take the peer pressure ANYMORE.
I too, am going to try once-a-month cooking!
With my husband as my cooking partner!!
Tomorrow!
With Sammy’s birthday party in between cooking sessions!
Recap to come Monday, in the meantime, pray that my kitchen and my marriage survive. (Because really, that would be alot of guilt for Tricia and Cortney to live with, ya know? But I would TOTALLY blame them.)
His birth itself was just so wonderful. In fact, last night Andy and I were watching “Slumdog Millionaire,” and I remarked that watching that movie was much more stressful than being in labor had been at that time last year! I was induced, because he had been breach and thankfully turned around, and when it was time to push, he came right out on the first try. It was amazing.
And he was amazing.
And now he’s one, and he’s still amazing.
He is such a great kid, and while I can’t believe he’s been here for a year, I also can’t remember life without him. He’s so smart, so cute, and so sweet (ok I’m a little biased!), and like I said, just absolutely amazing.
Happy birthday, Sammy. I love you more than words can say.
Imagine for a moment, if you will, that Emily and I have cartoon alter-egos. Here, I’ll help your imagination along! Meet Cartoon Emily:
and her cartoon cousin, Cartoon Jenny:
(I am telling you which one is which, because when I showed them to my husband, he said, “Which one is you?” and then when I asked him, “Which one do you THINK is me?” – he of course, picked Cartoon Emily. SOOOOO…that sounds like the makings of another blog post. Anyhoo.)
Imagine if you will, that our cartoon selves are having a cartoon-versation! Here’s how I imagine it would go:
Emily: You look awfully pale. Are you feeling allright?
Jenny: Yeah, they just didn’t have a lot of skin tone choices. Do I look like I should be in Twilight?
Emily: Yeah.
Jenny: Awesome. Nice shirt. I wanted that one but they didn’t have alot of shirt choices either so I had to go with this dress. And heels of course. And now my feet are KILLING me. I want my leopard-print Crocs.
Emily: Ok, yeah, WE GET IT. YOUR FEET HURT. YOU LIKE CROCS. Can we move on?
Jenny: WhatEVs. Why are you holding chips?
Emily: Because I want a healthy and delicious snack. Why are YOU holding chips?
Jenny: Because the package matches my dress. DUH. No DOY. Dumb question.
Emily: Are you sure it’s not because we’re doing this Frito-Lay thingy?
Jenny: It might be. But did you know Frito-Lay and Pepsi are like the SAME company and Frito-Lay makes Mountain Dew? I’d rather be holding a can of Dew. Just sayin’.
Emily: You need HELP.
Jenny: WhatEVs. I can quit whenever I want. I just DON’T WANT TO.
________________________________
What Cartoon Emily and Cartoon Jenny were TRYING to say is that we are proud to be part of the Frito-Lay Fabulous 15, a group of bloggers that is happily snacking away on some of Frito-Lay’s healthier snack choices! Pretty soon we will be offering up chances for you to WIN some great snacks like Baked Lays, Flat Earth Chips (yummay), 100 Calorie Packs and their brand new Smart Food!
And the cartoons? Emily and I visited the website of Frito-Lay’s new marketing campaign, Only in a Woman’s World. The characters are four funny cartoon ladies who star in their own webisodes. After watching them, Em & I were inspired to make cartoons of ourselves! You should do it too, it’s way fun. Then email us your cartoon self for funzies!
So far there are four Only in a Woman’s World webisodes, and this one is my favorite! But you can see them all at their website. Enjoy! And go make some cartoons out of yourselves!
