it's actually kind of sad...

 Miss Camille says I make everything sad.  Do I?  Well.  harrumph.  This is my sad story today...

Charlotte Claire got her driver's license.  This fine day, I could sense she was up to something with Cam, they were plotting.  So off they went to pick up their friend and go to the diner and the thrift store.  Am I butt- hurt?  no, of course not.  But.  They don't need me to bring them places all of the sudden!  The final two children.  

Then this picture came up in my feed, on this very day eleven years ago...the same thrift store they're going to.  Time just speeds up and it seems like this was last week.  

But all is not sad.  I made the wedding cupcakes this morning.  It was hanging over my head, I wanted to do it yesterday but didn't get to it.  So eight dozen big vanilla cupcakes, and 3 1/2 dz. small ones, plus a cake for tomorrow's 4th of July celebration.  The wedding is on Sunday, so Saturday is Frost-The-Cake (which Mariel made), Frost-the-Cupcakes (mine plus the 5 dz. lemon cupcakes Mariel made) Day.  So I'm not out of the water yet, but as Char said this morning,  I "hit it out of the park" with the cupcakes.  They seemed to come out really well.

I started out in a mess though.  I needed to triple the recipe, but decided it wouldn't fit into my stainless steel bowl, so I made one batch at a time...but ooops, I realized I tripled the salt!  I was not going to throw it away and start again, so I just took a chance and tripled it.  It BARELY fit in the bowl, but it did!  

Anyway.  I'm going to Home Depot with Paul when he gets home from the gym, to get flooring for the main bathroom.  I think I'll just get the same as is in the rest of the house, instead of something that looks like tile.  With a white vanity with a white top, we don't need anymore white, the wood will warm it up in there.  Someone suggested to paint the mirror frames...

Sneek peek of the new vanity, all put together in Paul's office.  

The tile flooring...Paul likes it and doesn't really want to replace it.  I do not like it very much, I think if we're redoing the bathroom, we should just take it up and put something warmer in there.  

Remember when I painted the top and put shiny epoxy on it, and changed out the faucets?  I do try, ha.  I painted the bottom part a few times too, and spray painted the handles and put them back on.  

The mirrors...not sure if I can paint them...they might look fine with the new stuff, not sure.  

Anyway.  I need to move it move it, so I'm not still sitting here in this comfy chair when Paul comes home!  I have to get dressed and brush my tangly hair!  Have a good day!
