that there is a God and he is good check out the video below
Now I’m just lettin you know this is probably the sexiest thing I’ve ever posted outside of pictures of my husband (you like how I threw that on in there right? you know I’m so fly)
This is not safe for work.. at least I don’t think it is, and I was having a less than stellar day, then I saw this when I went to B Scotts website.. and now I am much better now. and I know I said I wasn’t posting but - you can’t not share this kinda thing.. you just can’t.
If you wanna skip the intro you can click any where in the video past the half way mark and its all good…

Trust and believe…

This is So Splendiferious…

Ladies only, unless you you swing south paw then you come on over too.

Mr. Ice Cream Man

May 14, 2008 – 11:14 am

So.
I’m back.
I’ll have you know Photography is a time consuming profession. Just editing the pictures is a very very time consuming process, and not for the faint of heart. It is teadious, but looking at the images over and over again makes you think hard and creatively about processing them. Its not that much different than sending a snapshot off to an artist to have a portrait painted, and I am a tad bit surprised. But I love it. I could sit and edit all night. Just ask my husband, who was probably like “Dude - are you still at that computer?” last night, I know this cause he said it at least twice last night so I guess its safe to say the thought passed his mind.
How ever he is still the man I fell in love with as it is spring time and he tends to get a little creative around this time of year. I beleive it was mothers day last year he bought a ice cream maker for my gift as I am gormet and Alton Brown says home made ice cream is better than stuff in a store.
And wouldn’t you know it, Ol’ Alton was right! How ever I am not the ice cream guru in our house, thats Jerry’s domain. Last year he made strawberry and a chocolate and you would have been in ice cream heaven, it was so rich you could just stop for a single spoonful and be happy with your day. This week, the machine is back!
He made a chocolate espresso bean ice cream, and a mint chocolate chip, both are heavenly and I don’t normally like my ice cream busy.
So my goal is to get him an additional bowl for the ice cream maker so he can do more than one flavor at a time, cause he’s alwys thinking up stuff he’d like to try. I think in his former life he was Ben or Jer- wait… never mind.
Every time he makes ice cream I think of this STOOPID song from like 1995. I still strongly dislike Master P as much as I did in 1995, doesn’t mean his songs don’t get stuck in my head all the dang on time.

The Love Before The One

May 8, 2008 – 2:38 pm

To those who question my sanity, my husband has read and approved this post.
I was talking with a friend about ex’s and then another friend about trips and ex’s and yet somebody else about love and lovers, and thusly this post was born.

I count myself very lucky I have loved and been in love three times. This post is about love number two.

I met him on a Thursday. He was the only guy at the poetry reading wearing a suit. I thought that was odd. Turns out he worked for a law firm, he always came straight from work. When I remember when we met, I remember his smile. It was bright and eager. He was the brother of a friend who I thought the world of. She was not the type to do hook ups, he was not easily deterred. I made her a cheesecake for her birthday, his was the day after. That became his angle, ‘What did he have to do to get his own birthday cheesecake?’ I was young and freshly wounded. I had never really been pursued before. I was

Part III Peak Performance

May 7, 2008 – 11:25 am

*about this title I thought that was a cute play on words since apparently there are romance novels for NASCAR fans. I was like Seriously? so it was either that or Spies, Lies and Naked Thighs, but there was no spying in my weekend so there you go…

moving on to my early week:
Monday Jerry took the day off to recover from the massive amounts fermented beverages he consumed. Went to lunch with his best friend then went to hang out before going to see Iron Man, and then apparently hung out after as well. I, however went to work, came home with an extra four year old and did the mom thing until 8:30 when the extra four year old got picked up and Cammy decided it was a good time to

Part II You’ve Got Male

May 7, 2008 – 10:45 am

We woke up Sunday morning and Bri and I were watching food network as we do sometimes, and when Jerry and Cammy came down to join us they decided that the Orange Cranberry Scones Barefoot Contessa was making on TV would be a good thing, and they were right.

After a quick trip to the grocery Cammy and I whipped up a double batch pretty quick, and froze some of them for later. She was extra helpful, she did a great job mixing the icing for drizzle, cutting heart shaped scones, and after I made some bacon and OJ she was pretty happy with her morning. Not quite waffles, but close. We had a lazy kinda morning, with breakfast not actually happening til

Weekend Pleasure Seekers Pt I

May 7, 2008 – 10:12 am

It was a long lazy weekend – designed to make the hubby happy, and apparently it was a rousing success. Thus this will be a long lazy post.. broken into parts each posted through out the day… And I still hvaen’t finished my pictures, I forgot all of my editing software is on the laptop I gave my mom and I don’t get it back til tomorrow so - this will be the last week of light picture posting. tis the price of loving your mother.

Anywho.

Friday we hung light – put Cam down at a decent hour. Then my girls came and kidnapped me with and Bri, who seems to have some ‘mommy’s gonna go have some fun’ radar and wakes up EVERY time I get ready to go have a good time- so we took her with for some late night Cocktails and appetizers at Cheesecake factory. Yes I am the chick who walks into the restaurant at 11 p.m with an infant for drinks.

Jerry was tired so he was asleep before
