Sorry for not posting for the past couple of days. At least it's not a couple weeks late. I've been pretty busy working and taking care of Jeremy. Jeremy doesn't sleep very often these days. Only at night. So it gets a little hectic here. Yesterday, Jeremy didn't want to sleep at all. So what did we do? We baked cookies. I took pictures. Now it's the waiting game. I gotta wait on my sister to upload them since I used her camera. I made the thumb print cookies. They turned out pretty tasty.

Today I finished my daily work and now I am catching up on what I missed yesterday. I'm doing alright. I have about 70 more questions to answer and then I'll be caught up. Well, kind of. I'll still be missing one day of work. But, it's better than two. This weekend I will catch up on that day I missed and then some. Just to be ahead in case I miss another day.

Anyway, enough blogging. I'm going to go finish working and then look at commercial real estate.

I know I posted about the cookies and cupcakes that my sister and I made, so now I will post the pictures of them.

Here's the peanut butter whoopie cookies I made:



And the cupcakes my sister made:





They all turned out so good. The cookies had peanut butter filling and the cupcakes had peanut butter frosting with snickers in the middle. They were absolutely delicious. Next week I am going to try making thumb print cookies with chocolate melted in the middle. That is if I have time. I will probably do it on Wednesday because for some reason that's the day that Jeremy doesn't take any naps and I don't get any work done. Maybe one day my sister and I can bake cookies and cupcakes for unique hotels! How cool would that be? Okay, I'll keep dreaming.

The other day when I baked cookies, Jeremy woke up towards the end. I didn't want to stop everything I was doing to go in the room. So instead I brought his swing into the kitchen and he sat and watched me and his aunt bake! It was a lot of fun with him in the kitchen. He really enjoyed the sound that my sister's mixer made. When she would turn it off, he would get a little upset over it. So I told her to keep mixing something for him! He loves being the center of attention. If we would look away to do something else, he would yell at us so we would bring our attention back to him. He is so adorable.

He is on his way home right now. I am pretty excited about that. I really missed him this weekend. Anyway, I have to look into some auto insurance for my sister. She is too lazy to do it herself.

Last week I decided to use my money on Paypal to get pictures developed of Jeremy. So, I went to Wal-Mart.com and got some pictures! It only took a total of 3 days and they were here. I got 22 prints and only spent 4 dollars. Not too bad, eh? Today I ordered more. Next month I will be buying a scrap book and I'm going to start scrapbooking for Jeremy. I think I will give it to him on his 18th birthday. I think he would really like that. I'm going to try to convince my sister to start getting back into it. Then me and her can sit and work on them together! I think that would be so much fun. We will see if she is down for that.

Besides that, nothing much has been going on. The weather is warming up and it's so nice. I can't wait until it's nice enough to only wear a t-shirt. No more sweaters! I'm tired of wearing sweaters. Which is sad since sweaters are my favorite. Oh well. I guess it's time to look into some programming jobs.

The weather has been beautiful. Besides for some rain, it's been nice and warm. I am really digging this weather! Too bad it won't last.

I went for a walk today with Jeremy and Xena because it was so nice out. Well, I was about two blocks from the house and it started pouring rain! Thankfully, there's a cover on the stroller so Jeremy didn't get wet at all. Lucky him. Me on the other hand was soaking wet! Okay, maybe not soaking. But I got pretty wet. It just adds to the great day I am having.

I can't wait for tonight's workout session with my sister. It's going to feel nice. I love the feeling I get after we are done. I feel like I have so much energy. Not to mention it's starting to take the flab away from my tummy! That makes it all worth it.
