The Livy Updater

Yesterday was the perfect day to stay in bed and snuggle with the one you love. Yeah Right like that will ever happen! It started off a little behind for me but that’s ok. I got in 2 cups of coffee and was out the door with Livy trailing slowly behind me. She wanted to go back to bed, but I told her that she had to stay awake long enough for me to get her into her seat. She did get to eat a banana on the way to daycare like she had asked for. I on the other hand waited to eat anything. I knew it was going to be a slow week but this is crazy. Almost all of the corporate recruiters for the clients we represent have taken off work and so we did almost little of nothing yesterday. I am expecting the same for today too! Although I do have a candidate on an interview today and one on Friday. So that’s a start right? Last night after we got home I fixed dinner which was homemade chicken soup and had a grilled cheese sandwich. Perfect for this cold weather. I can’t wait until we actual get some snow:) That’ll be fun!!

This morning we all were up early and had some cereal too. Livy decided that she didn’t want her cereal anymore and after me telling her to sit down several times she dumped her bowl of cereal over telling me “mommy I don’t want this no more.” Great, so there I am still in my pj’s having a 2 year old tell me what she doesn’t want to do and to make matters worse there’s milk dripping from the dining room table onto the carpet. I know, I should have protected it but see I’m still waiting to get my kitchen table from my parents so I need to tell them why I need one now and not later. After breakfast I went back into the bedroom to start reading a new book that came in the mail yesterday. I received the book “Odd Thomas” by Dean Koontz and I can not wait to begin to read it. Well I never did get to start reading it because I found a really good movie on TCM and wanted to watch it instead. I’ll start the book tonight instead of watching NCIS but I will record it for Terry. Tonight is going to be leftovers and I might even make some chicken salad to make sandwiches with. That’s still up in the air I guess. I do need to go to the store to pick up more juice for Livy and to pick up a couple extra things. Tonight I think I’m going to make my Baked Apple Wontons for dessert and save the rest for maybe breakfast in the morning. 🙂 I’ll have to post a link on here of how to make them. 🙂 Their pretty healthy too for us. Well I better get back to work.

I also forgot to mention that today I did make some fresh brownies for Terry and I plan on making 2 more cakes for this week. I tasted the cake I had made on Monday and it was still moist as ever! I also made a cake for my grandparents Tuesday night and took it to them on Wednesday. My grandmother hasn’t been feeling the best in the world and well I wanted to do something nice for them. They were most appreciative too. Ok so now I’m going to go to bed. Good night everyone!

Here’s a video of Livy from last Saturday after I got done cleaning the house. It was taken on my camcorder that I am finally going to start to use now that I have it back!

Last night Livy and I went to Java Mott’s over by Michael’s to meet Cherie Gift to talk about the Pampered Chef opportunity. I got a bunch of information from Cherie and I will try to make my decision this weekend I guess. I do like the fact that you do get paid monthly and you don’t have to pay for shipping or anything like that because the orders already have shipping put in for you. Something to think about now. Then we went over to Chili’s to meet Michelle for dinner and then right after we got seated my mom came over and took Livy for just a few minutes. She wanted to let her go over and see granddad and sit with them. It was nice having her out of my hair for just a few minutes. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one who can understand my daughter. After dinner we drove over to the mall to go to Best Buy. I am looking for Natalie Grant’s Christmas CD and was unsuccessful but I did find out that the reason that people were camped outside of the store was to get the new PS3 which was supposed to come out today. Craziness! After that we drove over to Target and had a good time. I ran into an old friend, Angie there and got her cell phone number again. I’m so gald that I am running into all of my old friends because it makes me feel like there are people who want to hang out with me. Well after that we tried on some boots for Livy and she walked around the store with the little elastic holding the two shoes together. Then we were going to get them when we saw these cool boots that were brown and pink and had to get them. They are little cowgirl boots and their so adorable. I’ll have to take a picture of her in them tomorrow. She wants to wear her mini skirt and a cool shirt so I’ll allow her to do that. Thank you Michelle for purchasing the boots for her. She loves them! I also found the cake storage tote that I was looking for at Target and also picked up some new face wash made by Aveeno. I’m so excited too because my face for once feels really clean. Tonight we’re having the London Broil I picked up at the store and we’re also going over to Alltel to pick out a new phone for Terry. He told me that I could have the new phone and he would use my phone instead. We’ll see what we can come up with. Well let me go for now. Have to get to work again. It’s slow but I’ll find something to do. 🙂
