I have to apologize to all of you for my recent posts and my attempts at justifying lists and brain dumps as actual blog posts. Nothing seems to be too terribly blog-worthy right now, but there is a lot going on. I also don’t intend to tell you all how busy I am and what I’m up to.
But in the spirit of “Erin’s pregnancy makes her write lame posts,” let’s just keep the theme going for a little while, okay? Thanks for your support!
1. I am turning 28 years old tomorrow. And all I want for my birthday is a cookie cake. This is not a joke and I told TC a few weeks ago that the only thing I could even think of that I want for my birthday is a cookie cake. I’m pretty sure he’s going to come through for me. He’s always been a terrific gift-giver- even when I let him “off the hook” and say, “no gifts this year, okay?” He always breaks the rules and does something really sweet and special.
2. I’m doing my monthly sponsor post this week and I am so very excited to share some crazy fun deals with all of you who want to get a head start on buying your Christmas presents!
3. I’m so excited about it that I’m going to share my favorite deal of all with you right now! See the little button in my sidebar that says “Cookbook Marketplace?” Remember how much I love Junior League cookbooks and great old standby cookbooks? Well, the Cookbook Marketplace sells some of the best cookbooks ever written and they’re offering Blue-Eyed Bride readers a 50% off discount for November and December! I can’t think of a better Christmas gift, wedding gift, or shower gift. Maybe you want to stock up for wedding gifts for 2011?
I have about 15 Junior League cookbooks and some other great titles that are perfect go-to books for me, and my kitchen would not be complete without them.
Just visit The Cookbook Marketplace and enter BEB-Holiday at checkout to receive your incredible discount!
4. I’m feeling a little bit guilty because as soon as Hudson goes down for his nap every day, I start scrambling around to tidy up so I can rest on the sofa for about an hour. Yesterday, though, Hudson took a longer than usual nap and I slept the whole time. But I also was really sick yesterday and even the Zofran wasn’t helping me.
5. We’re leaving for our Thanksgiving trip next week and when I return I’ll be in the midst of Junior League Holiday Market madness. I’m thinking of going ahead and setting up my Christmas tree early next week just to have it standing so I can slowly decorate when we return. I can’t believe Christmas is almost here!
I hope you all have a great day! Keep your fingers crossed for me that I end up with my cookie cake tomorrow!
