Eye of the Tiger

Exercise is for the birds! I have been watching my diet and working out. I lost 10 pounds in 2 months, sounds good right. Well, this week I gained back 5 of those pounds by going out to eat 3 times. I am very discouraged and upset. Why does it take so long to lose those pounds but they come back so quickly. I have heard of those people who love the burn when they are lifting weights....hate it! I have heard of those people who get a second wind while doing aerobics......doesn't happen to me. I am in need of some Rocky Balboa "getting stronger" attitude. I really would like to wear shorts above the knees this summer.
p.s. why, oh why does the Nugget have such delicious bear claws...yummmmm!

A successful cake experience

So the 3 in 1 party was a success. The kids had a great time and the magician was hilarious. I still can't beleive my little girl is 4 years old. She told me the other night "Don't worry mom, I will always be your baby"

Her wish was for a unicorn cake. My mom who usually makes the cakes was worn down from Easter so I had to do it myself. I went to Target and found a very pretty unicorn that would be on the top. Then I did some on-line searching and found a great idea....a rainbow cake, when the unicorn lands on the cake it turns it into a rainbow. Sounded like a great idea. I was nervous about it, I mean really, I didn't even own a cake pan!

The kid's expresions were great, that is what made it a success, and it looked really cool!
