Well Martha, I'm feeling much better today- thanks so much for asking. In fact, I felt so good that I made my cake today. I must say, I was a little let down. I've made two cakes from scratch in the past year (and quite possibly in my entire life). The first one was a complete disaster. This one wasn't a disaster, but it isn't that great. Luckily the frosting I made is really good, so that makes up for it a bit. Of course, I tried to make the frosting that the recipe called for, and apparently when the recipe calls for margarine, you shouldn't use tub margarine. I ruined my first frosting attempt by using country crock. Lesson learned. Anyway, I think I'll stick to cheesecake, cupcakes, and cookies. If I want a cake, I think I'll just go with a box cake. I seem to have better luck with those.
Chloe was a pretty good girl today, but I think she's getting frustrated because she can't tell me what she wants. So instead, she does this really shrill whiney thing. She'll find one of her shoes, hand it over to me and then just look at me and shriek. So I usually just throw the shoe across the room and that makes her laugh. I wish I knew what she was trying to tell me. And she gets really frustrated when she puts the lid on something and can't get it off. I tried to get cute pictures of her again today, but I need to get new rechargeable batteries because the ones I have for my camera now are dying, and the delay on my camera makes it impossible to get a decent picture. The delay's not nearly as bad with new batteries.
I got to talk to Miguel twice today. That was nice. I can tell he's really wanting to come home. And that's a good thing. It would be bad if he were indifferent about coming home to visit. But we're doing things my way this time and planning out his visit well ahead of time. I don't want to be any more stressed out than I already have to be when he comes. I'm really excited for him to come home, not just so I can see him, but so he can see Chloe. By the time he comes, it will have been three months since he last saw her. She's changed quite a bit. Her vocabulary is bigger, she's actually walking quite a bit now, and her personality is starting to show through a lot more. Right now September 25 seems so far away, but I know it'll be here before I know it. Especially considering the classes I'm taking. I'm going to be really busy. Hopefully I get my books this week so I can start getting busy...
I better get ready for bed. Gotta get up early for class.

Well I am glad you got to make your cake. Sorry it didn't turn out so well. I don't know how to make anything from scratch, so I have to give you credit from that one. Glad that you are feeling better. I was so excited to see my name in a blog..lol.. Hope your classes go well tomorrow. And also Sept. 25th will be here before you know it..
I am glad you are feeling better too. Of course we don't have internet so I only get to read 5 days a week-but you scared me this morning. Is it normal to have such intense pain in your stomach?? That job you posted so very interesting too. Washington would be a great place to live...maybe we will end up there too. Miguel's visit will come so quickly especially cause you are going to be so busy with school! This comment is turning into a post--sorry!
Glad you figured out the frosting. I have never had much luck with cake recipes from scratch. I like to do the box cake "with additions" ie the jello cake, the better than sex cake, etc.
Hope you have a lovely day. Today is the first with students. It's be grand...
Everytime you mention cake it makes me want one. I know what you mean when you are tired of being prego. The last month always sucks because you're so close but still far away. Hope the back pain stays away for the most part until the little lady is born.
