Yep. I posted last night... And here I am doing it again. Crazy, right?
So... I made the cookies and they were great. The cream cheese frosting is sweet. Obviously it's sweet. I know, it IS frosting. But its just not my taste. A little bit goes a long way with this stuff. But it goes great with the cookies. The recipe I used didn't say whether I should use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet. I used milk chocolate. Next time I'll definitely go with the semi sweet. I think it will just balance out a little better. All in all though, the recipe is a winner. I'll link when I have a chance to log on with a different browser.
I've been catching my monster cruising, and every now and then he'll be standing next to the couch or table and he'll take his hands away to see what happens. What happens is that he can stand on his own. He just isn't too interested in doing it. He is perfectly happy crawling, which is fine with me. Less of a chance he'll fall and hurt himself. Which he already does. Often. He's going to be walking before too long though. I can't believe how big he's getting. He is going to be 10 months next week. I just can't believe it!
Anyway, I've been having a rough few days. I haven't heard from Zach in a while, he broke the power cord for his computer (Which was actually mine... Go figure!) so he hasn't been able to email or anything. It really sucks, because I'm having a hard time with the holidays getting closer and all. It doesn't exactly help that I am obsessively counting down the days until his approximate return date. I have plenty to do, but I'm just not interested in it right now. I have some projects in the works though, and hopefully I'll be able to stay busy enough to get through until I can start preparing for his return.
And for now that's all I have. I'm tired. I'm going to bed before the babe wakes up and wants to hang out.
See ya.

More Promises. That I'll keep this time! I PROMISE!
Internet Explorer 9, the worst browser ever, (I know, I know, its a beta. But still... It blows. And Husband is gone, and I can't figure out how to go back to the old one. So I'm just stuck here whining about it.) (Anyway...) just deleted my entire entry. And I had a real one. One full of promises to update my blog. You know, the ones I make every time I write on here. But this time I'm not lying. I'm really going to do it. Because now I have time.
I'm past the crying all the time stage. Now I'm just crabby and bored. And I can't sleep at night because 7 pillows are not equivalent to Husband. Not even close. They don't cuddle back.
They are remarkably quiet though, and I never wake up wondering where my blankets are...
In all seriousness though, I miss the snoring and blanket-stealing.
But we're getting by.
Bean is dealing with some separation anxiety I can only guess stems from the fact that Daddy left so suddenly. It isn't like he knew what was going on when we said goodbye. So when Daddy wasn't there to play every day, I think he started to get concerned that I would leave too. So we dealt with a lot of night-waking and not being able to walk into the other room without a full blown meltdown. Luckily its getting better. He's still very clingy, and actually wants me to HOLD him from time to time, but he's almost back to sleeping all the way through the night. It's hit or miss though. He wakes up from time to time for some snuggles. We usually watch some late night tv and then he goes back to bed without a fight.
Otherwise we're pretty boring. Which is really getting to me. I do the same thing every day. And every night. I'm planning on going to the fabric store and starting some new projects. I have a few in mind, including an attempt at a portable fabric highchair that I found on this Mama makes stuff. I'll post a link as soon as I can figure out how to get it to work. IE9. Sucks. I'm tellin' ya.
Anyway, that's all I have for right now. I'm exhausted and if I get to bed fast enough I might be able to fall asleep instead of watching reruns of Family Guy and Good Eats.
OH! I'm gonna try some pumpkin choclolate chip cookies with cream cheese frosting tomorrow. Which I found on MADE. (Again... I'll link when I figure out how to do it. When I click the link option above nothing happens.) I'll report back with the results (:
Goodnight!
