So the house next door to us is for sale. This morning, while we were setting up for P's party, there was someone there looking at it and looking/sounding pretty serious from what we could see/hear over the fence. There were two older women and one man. I couldn't tell which of the women was married to the man and which one was just there as a friend, but one of the women was an attorney I worked with on a case a couple of years ago that I can. not. stand. She was a self righteous, busy body, interfering twat to everyone the whole case and it was very hard to stay professional and not let on to how horrible I thought she was. She was just generally nasty. I was so relieved when the case was done and I didn't have to deal with her anymore. I am horrified. JFC if she buys the house next door to us I will be beside myself. I cannot comprehend having her right there all the time.
We were so hoping a family with children would buy it but after seeing the listing pictures I doubt that will happen because they redid the kitchen so that there is no room for larger than a table for two people and there is no separate dining space.
turtle it sure is!! I also think I'll do pink icing on the bottom, white on top, and I have a gold "one" cake topper and some multi coloured cupcake heart toppers I'm going to decorate it with.
Speaking of houses for sale; apparently a younger couple bought the house across the street. Not sure if they have kids or not, but that would be great! We're also getting some furniture from the old lady who is moving out later!
LO and I have been busy running errands. We have more to do but it is SO hot!

tiffbot I'd be interested in the icing recipe also! Please share!
Quiet day here. Went for a walk earlier, had burgers and corn-on-the-cob for lunch, now it is nap time and I am sitting down for a bit. I baked a loaf of blueberry bread this morning and threw in some fresh coconut to get it used... not sure if that was such a great idea... fresh coconut = tons of coconut oil. Oops. Hopefully it will still be edible.
Now here's my next dilemna... I ordered cute hairclips for the girls in my class for an end of the year present. What should I get the boys? I don't want to spend too much. Each set of clips was about $2 each. One of the mother's got the boys bowties for Christmas so I don't want to do that again.
sugarkissed to be honest I think it's a pretty basic buttercream recipe, but it's written in my mom's handwriting from when she was younger than me on an old piece of loose leaf that she keeps in one of her recipe books. So it's one of those tried and true sentimental recipes and the taste reminds me of my childhood. But it impressed my friends the last time I made it so I'll keep making it that way!

@jimbobcooter I hope they don't get the house! If they do though I've pretty much come to accept that there are always good and bad neighbors. I've never lived anywhere where I like the neighbor across the street and next door on both sides etc. the worst is when you get someone that doesn't give a crap about how their yard or house looks.
A family with two small kids was just there looking at it. Much better. I refrained from climbing the fence and begging them to make an offer. Stuff in our hood sells fast and with multiple offers so FX it's not the lady I saw this morning, assuming she's one of the shoppers.
Our power just went out as I was putting LO to sleep. Our bedrooms can get insufferably warm and she's in short sleeve, footless jammies and a cotton sleep sack. I hope the power comes back on soon or I'm going to have to wake her up. She gets sweaty.

We had a whirlwind day. Impromptu birthday/going away party at my grandparents house that went pretty good. A got a bunch of new toys that will be stashed for the road trip and I stuffed myself on pizza and cake. This cake was grand, I mean have you ever heard of a pound cake sheet cake? A kept giving his great Grandaddy kisses for no reason and it just made his day (I think he liked his ticklish mustache).

DD fell in love with the groom at the wedding shower and they were walking with each other all over the place. She also made off with some nice birthday presents from friends who won't be able to make her party. It was a good Saturday:)

So there was a lot of drinking at the party I was at. Which is usual for this group of friends. But one of the guys walked out with us, and peed in the front yard as I was strapping BH into the car.
