I think its time for another installment of sweet peas and snakes since I feel like I have all kinds of things swirling around my noggin.
SWEET PEAS:
*my sweet girl. we have this little thing we do where I say "you are the sweetest goose" and she says "and you are the snuggliest mama!" I'm pretty smitten with her.
*having freshly painted fingernails, I'm particularly enjoying "skull and glossbones" (by OPI) these days.
*cookie dough. I made some cookies the other night but didn't want to bake them all so I put the dough in the fridge. Just seeing it in there makes me happy and its so convenient to grab a bite here and there. :)
*cute new shoes that were inexpensive but desperately needed!
*the fresh start that January brings. As much as I dislike January in general, I do love the newness of it all.
*impromptu dinners with friends.
*church. Our church took 2 weeks off (our church is mainly Baylor students so when Baylor is on break its a ghost town around here) and after a 2 week break it was sooo good to be back.
*BAYLOR WINNING THE ALAMO BOWL AND RGIII WINNING THE HEISMAN!!!!!!!!!!!! All the stereo types about Texas and football are true, it is a hard core football state and to be in/from a small town in central Texas and have the Heisman winner is a BIG DEAL! (and just so I sound uber cool (insert sarcastic tone), RGIII goes to our church -HOLLA!!). We are super proud of the Baylor Bears and its so fun to see the signs all.over.town. showing their pride and excitement. Sic 'em bears!
*Now that Baylor is back in session, Winn Mi Casa will be ON next Tuesday! Looking forward to seeing my darlings and hearing about their break!
*SNAKES
*my new calendar. For some reason Martha Stewart decided to put Monday in Sunday's place so when I glance at it, it totally throws me off. WHY WHY would she do such a thing?! Who's calendar starts on Monday for petesake?! Grrrr.
*holiday weight gain (and possibly cookie dough in the fridge weight gain). Boo.
*finally biting the bullet and ordering way.too.expensive. boots only to get them and not like them and return them. booooo!!
*WINDY cold nights that force Adam and I into the guest room (don't get me wrong, I love the guest room but it all of a sudden goes from looking pretty and calm to a disaster w/ pillows and sheets strewn about). Sigh. My analness likes one room in the house to be put together! :)*January. 'Nuff said.
*STILL not seeing our family photos that we had taken in NOVEMBER!!
*quarterly business taxes. Sigh. the downfall to owning your own business, the taxes that seem to be due all.the.time.!! Jan. 20th is a comin'!! Ick!
And b/c it seems like bad mojo to end this post on a "snake," I made these pancakes the other day and it has turned out to be a great recipe to have on hand. Have a great weekend, all! xo

LOVE sweet peas 'n snakes! Ahh....you DO love your shoes - so sorry about the boots, but don't give up! Would that new polish be grey perhaps? Did mom pick a winner? and YEAH for RGIII!!! That game was soooo exciting! Hoping the Colts will pick him up.
Should we have picked the "cupcake" calendar???? Oh, well, new cookie recipes override the Sun/Monday switch, right?
XXOO
Mom
Starting the week with Monday?! I only sort-of get it but would also find myself constantly thrown off.
Boo! to the missing family photos, returned boots (oh, this many-year struggle!) & taxes.
Yay! to your sweet pea girl, impromptu dinners & fresh starts. I like them all!
