Friday MishMash

*I haven't written anything since the election...I'm not really sure what to say & contrary to some other people on various social media sites, I still try to abide by "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."  Honestly, I still feel pretty much exactly how I felt after the last election, which you can read about here

*Elyse has had a cold for the last two days & it's really just pitiful...it's times like these that the hardcore sleep training momma in me disappears & the soft, sweet, cuddlebug momma wants nothing more than to make her baby girl feel better. 

*Due to Elyse's cold & me snuggling her for her nap yesterday afternoon, I somehow managed to burn an entire batch of homemade applesauce...I honestly didn't even know that was possible, but trust me, it is. 

*I'm in charge of organizing the food for our family Thanksgiving again this year...I assigned myself the homemade rolls.  I finished up the first batch on Wednesday & popped them in the freezer.  YUM...I love homemade bread!

*My Grandma Smart (my dad's mom) had to have unexpected surgery this week and the recovery is going slower than normal...say a quick prayer for you if you would.  She gets to come home today, but is still quite uncomfortable.  I think as soon as Elyse is feeling better we'll go visit. 

*I won a giveaway at one of my favorite local boutiques...and yesterday I went to their store to claim my prizes!  I'll definitely post more once they come in, but they had to order in my size. 

*Elyse is 4 days shy of being 11 months old...YIKES!!  I better get to party planning! 

*I am doing something crazy tonight & am participating in the "Run to the Lights" with Hubby and some of our friends from church. It's a 5k race held every year at Silver Dollar City in Branson and the race doesn't even begin until 10:10pm...yeah, I'm normally in bed at that time. Not to mention that the "run" to the lights will most likely be more of a walk, or a slow jog...considering I've never actually RUN a full 5k in my life. Yeah, could be a very interesting night.

*Tomorrow night is girls' night out with sushi followed up by drinks & dessert back at one of my girlfriends' house...it's gonna be a blast! 

*Happy Weekend Everyone...it's going to be gorgeous here!

Can I come to girls night and sushi?! Sorry to hear about your grandma hopefully she recovers soon. And babies with colds is the worst....here's to her getting over it soon!

Hope Elyse gets better soon! :-( I agree w/u on the election..to me some people needs to remember they are a Christian first..some comments I'd read on facebook..lets just say if I said those things I'd feel like I needed to repent!!

There is nothing like homemade bread! Mmm! I said a prayer for your grandma, I hope she's feeling better. Congrats on your giveaway win, so exciting! I hope Elyse is feeling better too!
