Don't call it a comeback...it's a grand re-entrance.

What kind of idiot tries to make a blogging comeback on a Friday?!? The day that nooooobody reads blogs...


Brains aren't really a requirement when you're a princess.

Anyabsence...many have been asking where I've been and what I've been up to.


I've been traveling the tri-city world, bumping into celebrities and making them feel awkward while my prince takes a picture having dinner with dignitaries, eating exercising, goofing off on Facebook writing my memoir. 

No celebrity was harmed much in this photo. And for you young kids who don't recognize him, ask your parents about Bill Murray. He was not THRILLED but tolerated us to take this photo.


I know all three of you are excited about my major comeback. Feel free to tell your readers alert the press. I'm sure they'll want to put me on the list with all the other notable comebackers like Michael Jordan, Brett Farve, LL Cool J, Steven Tyler, Betty White, Jesus Christ....


Right?

Hello...hello...hellooooooooo...is anybody in here?

I totally almost wrote a blog post the other day. But then I quickly dismissed it. I mean, after all this time, are any of my peeps still here? Is there anyone left to read this?

*silent pause*

*microphone screeches feedback*

*audience covers their ears*

(and by "audience" I clearly mean "dust bunnies")

And of course now I'm trying to picture how a dust bunny would be able to cover their ears. I'm assuming dust bunnies would have big, long ears like regular bunnies. Do dust bunnies have arms and hands? How will they cover up those gianormous ears? I'm not real sure about their anatomical features since I am a princess and spend very little time with dust bunnies. I have people for that you know.

Perhaps I should just stop right here since I am probably just talking to myself again at this point.

If you're here, I welcome your comment.

Even if it's an ugly comment.

I'm that desperate curious.

*wails, sobs, then silently cries herself to sleep*

^^End Scene^^

*Squints with one eye to see if anyone bought the act*

Bucket Lists and Idiots

A few days ago:

Me: Should I try to get us a field for baseball practice on Saturday afternoon since our last two got rained out?

Prince: We can't do it Saturday afternoon. I'm pulling a jet.

Me: Huh?

Prince: I'm pulling a jet.

Me: *puzzled look on my face*

Prince: I'm going to be part of a team that pulls a Southwest jet on their inaugural flight into *town we live near* Each county has put together a team and I was asked to be on our county's team.

Me: You're stupid. You are not actually doing that.

Prince: Yes, I am.

Me: No, you're not.

Prince: Why do you think I went and got the cortisone shot and the fluid drained off my knee that already needs surgery?

Me: That's EXACTLY why you shouldn't PULL A JET!!!

Prince: But how many chances do you have to do something like this? I'll get to check something off my bucket list.

Me: You had no idea this was even a bucket list option!

Prince: I'm doing it.

Me: You're stupid.

Heir to the throne: Mommy, you're not supposed to call people stupid.

Me: You can if it's true, son.

First Southwest flight to land *here*

Here comes the 83,000 lb plane!

The "A" Team...otherwise known as the Band of Idiots...getting set to pull the 737.

They won the first round! On to the second...

A local 1-AA College Offensive and Defensive Line getting ready to pull.

Against NCAA regulations? (Kidding....it wasn't!)

Pull #2 for the "A" Team

That's the Prince in the front with the black hat.

Even with my baby as the anchor, they just couldn't beat the young guns.

But a second place trophy isn't too shabby for a bunch of geezers!

And for your viewing pleasure.......

And yes, they almost ran into the crowd and through the fence. I guess once they got the locomotive started, it was just too hard to stop it.

So here we have it....marked off the bucket list. Now I have to go call our insurance company and see if "Stupidity" is a covered diagnosis.

Convo with the Prince

Here's another short but sweet one:


Me: I heard a quote today that I really liked and think it would be good for you to use in your game day speeches with the kids.


Prince: What? 


*Pretends to humor me while flipping through channels wishing I would go back to playing Angry Birds*


Me: "Winning isn't everything, but TRYING to win is."


*looks at the prince smiling while waiting for his response while he continues to flip channels*


Prince: Winning isn't everything, but second place sucks. You can quote me.


Me: *rolls eyes*


Gotta love him....

You know those little cans of extremely concentrated room sprays?

True Fact (According to Princess): 47 degrees and sunny starts to feel like 70 degrees when you've had so many bitter cold days in a row.

The Princess of Sarcasm is now accepting offers to review vacation spots in Key West, Costa Rico, Turks and Caicos, or any other place where the winter attire includes flip flops...

Don't mess with me....

This is the most ferocious animal on the face of the earth. 


And he lives at my house....


I would suggest you not try to break in....or sniff his wee wee. 


You will certainly experience the wrath. 


He is 6.5 lbs. of pure dynamite...

I'm looking for the best caption for this photo. 

Ready...set....GO!!!!

Really Rad Reindeer Cookies

I'm that mom. You know the one....


Chief calls me a one upper. But honestly, I don't try to be. I'm just naturally that awesome.


My youngest son had his Christmas party at school today. I love to show off cook. I especially love to make treats for the boys class parties.


Here's what I made for today.

Now granted, I took the easier way out and used a gingerbread cookie mix. 


*insert Martha Stewart rolling over in her million dollar kitchen* 


I'm so super busy running around in circles getting nothing accomplished that I had to cut corners a bit. But they turned out delish and they were a hit with the kiddos!


Take the prepared gingerbread cookie dough (feel free to try these with sugar cookies if you prefer) and roll them into 1" balls. 


Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. 


Flatten them into a circle using the bottom of a glass. 


Pinch the sides to make the face shape. 


Place broken pretzels in the top for antlers. 


Bake cookies according to directions. 


Immediately upon taking them out of the oven, place two chocolate chips for the eyes and one red m&m for the nose. 


If the m&m's pop out after the cookies cool, use a tiny bit of icing to "glue" the nose back on. 


I dropped a couple of the cookies and used the icing to preform surgery reattach broken antlers as well. 


So if you are looking to outdo the other moms be the "Belle of the Ball" with the 4 to12 year old set, give these cookies a try.
