I am The Queen of No Fun

I have been a bit quiet on here lately, well that is because I have been a bit quiet in general lately. I have come down with something that has attacked my voice. I am on day three of no voice, and let me tell you I am so completely annoyed. I will probably run down to an Urgent Care (my Doctors off cant get me in until April, don't ask I am livid over that development) today to make sure it is nothing serious. I have very rarely lost my voice in the past, and when I did it was only for an evening or a day at the most. Let me tell you, it is a bit unnerving to have no voice for days on end.

So to say that I have been the Queen of No Fun lately, would be an understatement. My poor kids are probably ready to trade me in. Let me also say this, they are taking advantage of the situation. The attitudes and NoNo's are a bit out of control. They are very aware that mommy cant talk and they are working it. I do feel a bit bad, because they are also suffering from Cabin Fever. We have had two days of sunshine, and all of our snow has melted so they really want to get out, but the loss of my voice has also sucked away my energy. Enough said...

I know the Lord will not give you more than you can handle, but boy oh boy. We are also dealing with our Sammie dog who had a breakthrough seizure during the middle of the night on Sunday. The Veterinarian thought we should wait a few days before we adjust her medication in case it was a random seizure. Unfortunately I think we are going to have to up her dose. Since the seizure on Sunday, she has had multiple loss of limb episodes which is so hard to watch.

To say that this has been a great week would be a far cry from the truth. I am ready for it to be over, and I am ready to be on the road to recovery.

JOANNE FLUKE Blackberry Pie Murder Party!! Thanks again House Party!

Well Mother Nature tried to put a damper on my Joanne Fluke, Blackberry Pie Murder, House Party... A few of my friends decided that enough is enough Mother Nature.. Not even temperatures in the negatives with blowing snow was going to keep them home. As the day went on and the cancellations started coming in, I started to get bummed. That being said, driving in blowing snow is just plain yucky, and I get it. There is no reason to put yourself in danger, not even for Red Velvet Cupcakes or Blackberry Pie.

Those that came indulged on Strawberry Chicken Salad, Ham Rolls with Pickled Asparagus,and a Cheese Tray for dinner.

For dessert it was Red Velvet Cupcakes, Blackberry Cupcakes, Blackberry Pie, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Chocolate Orange Crisps.

Oh and don't forget the amazing Blackberry Pie Martini!!

Everyone went home with a little something...

One lucky person went home with this little gift!

Thanks again House Party for the opportunity to throw this fun party.

 Next time Mother Nature, you are NOT invited!! My friends are definitely excited to dive into a new series of books. Joanne Fluke was new to everyone, and she definitely left a good taste in everyones' mouth!
