Snap Cup

I've decided to make a snap cup. Extra girly, jewel ridden and glittery... just like in the movie.

It all started from a silly argument we had about leaving clothes on the bathroom floor (one of those really important things that can make or break a marriage). I would try to defend myself, but it's true. I'm a total slob that way. In an attempt to keep the peace, I made sure to pick up all of my clothes the next day. That is, all but one towel. Rather than notice what I did pick up, Alex focused on that one towel. I know I would have too, but it got me thinking. (This is never a good thing). My conclusion: We need to be nicer and have a more positive attitude in our home. We are constantly picking at each other, getting annoyed, being mean. It's silly. So, we're making a snap cup (see Legally Blonde 2 if you don't know what it is) and it's going to be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I know it sounds ridiculous, but sometimes you have to be ridiculous to get happy.

In other news. I'm getting domesticated.
I've been trying my hand at crochet. I've made a couple of dishcloths and a baby blanket for Robert (mostly used by me) as starter projects. I figure it's hobby-worthy and gives me something to do fairly cheaply here at home. I would say it's therapeutic, but it's not when you're a perfectionist. I usually end up re-doing most of it as I go.
I've also been trying to cook and bake more. It's still hard for me to do it consistently with the baby, but periodically I'm able to get a meal on the table. Today was bread baking day. Maybe it's cheating, but I let the breadmaker get the dough ready and then I shape it and bake it. I had a few loaves turn out perfect! It was exciting and the house smelled delicious. I love bread!

So, that's life.

The baby is healthy. Alex is in school. We're broke. Life is good.
