So Much, in So Little

            Since my last real post was in june, i have been stuck trying to figure out where to start with my updated post...uhhhh..........hmmmm..... i still am not sure where to start, so i guess we could just catch up on whats been happening. After rivers bday was My Glorious 25th!!! No big deal just the age i have been looking forward to since turning a very inglorious 18, and then a mildly exciting 21. Every one raves about the coming of age birthdays, but really the only change is at one age your can smoke, and the next you can drink... but TWENTY FIVE, that gives you 'street cred'. Some kind of personal satisfaction/confidence accompanies the words "I am 25", like being a quarter century old gives you all the wisdom in the world, i know this isnt so, and it sounds silly now that i have said it, but this is what i have been looking forward to for, well, 25 years, STREET CRED! it was either get all tatted up and start a bad addiction, or turn twenty five. Soooooo incase you guys didnt hear ::clears throat::  I am 25 years of age! thats right old ladies at knitting shops, i have crows feet now you can stop frowning at me when i walk through the doors and head for the marino wool... did you hear that, nay sayers of "already being married at 18/19/20/21", i am no longer "just a baby"... walmart you can stop carding me for white out and duck tape, and Lowes can just let me buy aerosol paint without the disapproving looks, it really is for a side table, i am not some crazy kid looking for a cheap high.

With all this approval of years owned... also comes some cons, i am old enough to buy a time share, and EVERY Time share out there apparently has direct access to my credit report, also credit card offers have seemed to double. Unfortunately an increase in age did not increase my income so i am not really sure how "they" figure i am more willing to submit to these things.

For my birthday Hubby got me the best gift ever, and i mean it(after almost 6 months i am still excited about it)!!! i use them EVERY day. Every time i use them i think of the man in my life that listened to me talk about this for months on end until eventually conceding to never having them, and then remembering how much he loves me and getting them for me anyways... what is this wonder gift you may ask... lets see if you can guess

Like i said before, i use them every day
.......
you have likely seen them on tv
.......
but not in a commercial
.......
they cost more than 50 dollars
......
less than 100
......
they sell it on amazon (not much of a hint there)
.....
i use them in the kitchen
.....
there is no way you can BAKE without them
.....
made out of metal
.....
there is 4 in the set
.....
they fit in my hand
....
they hang on my wall but it also could come with a stand
....
this is all the clues i can come up with
....
did you figure it out yet?

....   SPOONS, pewter measuring spoons!!

yup, i saw em on paula dean like forever ago, and fell in love!!! Hubs got me the fleur de lis ones and they are perfect :) such a silly thing for me to set my heart on but let me tell you i hate digging in a drawer for measuring spoons only to find every spoon but the measurement you actually need, of course you can just eye ball things, which is okay with spices and such, but as for baking( especially since i am not a chef) they are indispensable!

So all this excitement was in june and now that i have been 25 for a few months, i think i'll stay this age for a good while. I was actually asked my age a while back and in saying 25, i had to stop and think, "am i really THAT old?" talk about an eclipse of the heart.

So this is a start on catching up... i had to devote a whole post to street cred,  and the next post will be mo betta i promise... the next few days will be alot of catching up because there is only a short while till baby 3 will be joining us, so stay tuned!!
