Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! http://www.foundingfathers.info/American-flag/ Clayton is back in good ol' Illinois because he has a meeting with Richardson Electronics tomorrow about the position they are offering him...uhhh, I don't really want to move back home...so say a prayer that California or Georgia come through!!

Anyway, I kicked it off by going to work...13 days in a row by the end of the week. I just can't get away from there can I? Oh well, I don't mind! When I got out of work I scrurried to Kroger to pick up a dessert to take to the Wiley's house. I found red, white, and blue cupcakes with sprinkles (I knew that this was something Dylan who is 4 would enjoy). So I got home and made the batter and went to grab my cupcake pan and to my surprise (or is it really) it was gone! My roommate who moved out must have taken it thinking it was hers (because she accidently took my 2 circle cake pans also, which I got back) UGHHH!! So I had to use my GYNORMOUS cupcake pans. Needless to say, they looked plump. I decorated them with frosting and sprinkles, packed them up in my cake saver, and sped to Danielle's. By the time I got there, the heat had beat me and made the frosting totally melt. Ohhh they looked so unappetizing! Oh well, Dylan's favorite part was the frosting! Thank goodness!

Besides my bad food, Danielle was sick in bed with none other than food poisioning!! Yuck!! I felt so bad for her! So the kids, Dylan and Max, Michael (their dad), Poppy...Michael's Dad, and Megen (Michael's sister) hung out. We had a great time. It is so great to have such wonderful friends who invited my into their home and made me feel so welcome (like they always do!) Anyway, Dylan and Max are the cutest and funniest kids ever. Granted they are only 4 and not even 1...but I have so much fun with them! They keep me young at my old age of 22! Hehe!!

Michael made these amazing ribs, asparagus, and sweet potatos (the 1st time in my life I have liked sweet potatos, probably because it was like as natural as possible...no marshmallows, 1o0 lbs of butter, and walnuts...gross!). I have made a declaration today that from now on when Clayton makes ribs he MUST use Danielle's mom's recipe because they were just so great!

Now I am laying in bed wanting nothing to do with the huge mess I made while packing stuff up earlier before work! Do I have any takers on wantng to come clean my apartment?!? NO? I didn't think so! :-) Oh well, it will still be there in the morning, no rush!
