I love coffee and I’m beginning to love my Friday Morning Coffee posts, I feel like I’m sitting on a couch with friends, all easy, breezy, sipping on coffee and eating a cheese coffee cake.
I love cheese danishes and feel like it’s hard to get a good one these days. I think I need to learn how to start making them but I’m so tired nowadays.
It’s true. Tomorrow marks the first day of my THIRD TRIMESTER and since last Saturday I have been so dog gone tired that I can count on my hand the number of things I’ve completed this entire week. Which is just sad. I know this.
I’m not sure if my energy is gone BECAUSE of my third trimester or if it’s because I way overdid it these past two weeks but I’m seriously bummed. I don’t like to slack, I don’t like it one bit. Also, my belly feels like it’s going to become detached from my body, it’s just this weight that is getting difficult to carry around. I’m not complaining. Or am I? I’m trying not to – I promise.
School was cancelled today. So, I’ve got my little babies (yes, they are almost six and seven) here at home with me. They’re still in their pajamas, playing quiet, each equally bummed that they’re not at school.
The snow is falling like I haven’t seen in a long time.
The wind is whipping, I can hear it against the windows. I wish we didn’t have anywhere to go today but we do … Brian is sick and has a doctor’s appointment, I hate that he has to travel in this.
Tomorrow, my best friends and I are traveling to Wisconsin for Cupcake ’10. It’s an overnight fun trip for all of us, we are staying at a cabin and eating ourselves into oblivion. I’m excited to meet so many new people. One person I’m totally excited to meet is Sara. She lives in Michigan and she’s a dear sweet blogging/twitter friend who always knows what to say. She lost her sweet baby Joel in 2009 and I can’t wait to squeeze her tight and look into her eyes. She’s sleeping at my house tonight which makes me doubly, tripley excited.
And finally, today is Stephanie’s birthday.
I hope she has a wonderful day all snuggled tight in her house with her family during this snow. I know her heart is torn and her heart breaks for Arianne…
so wish Stephie a Happy Birthday, won’t you?
I hope you all have a safe, happy, healthy, cupcake filled weekend. Take lots of pictures. Just because.
I hope you guys have a good day, and that Brian is safe! I hope you all have a blast tomorrow, I wish I could be there!!
Oh, have soooo much fun at Cupcake ’10! Take lots of photos of course and I can’t wait to see everyone’s posts about it!
Did you plan this weather for next weeks You Capture assignment? I do love snow days though. I just hate making them up. And yes, it is hard to find a good cheese danish anymore! Have fun at Cupcake10. It should be a blast. Take lots of pictures to share with us.
I love your belly more than anything in this whole wide world, even more than cheese danishes. And you’re RIGHT, it is hard to find a good cheese danish. There’s like one bite of cheese that has like that skin on it, that forms on pudding if you let it set out? That really makes me angry.
Oh, I love that photo of us, and I LOVE your bare belly. Can I see it tomorrow?
Today is bitter sweet, but peaceful. I’m actually having my Snicker Delight coffee right now.”
Steph
Have a fabulous weekend!
simply beautiful. Your belly is just beautiful.
as are you.
Have a great time at Cupcake ’10, Beth. I wish I could be there. Instead, I’ll be eating cupcakes at my 2-year-old’s birthday party tomorrow.
Don’t worry too much about complaining, by the way. I don’t think anyone ever wants to complain about a pregnancy, when we know the alternative. But it’s WORK. And you’re doing a beautiful job. Just a few more weeks, and that baby boy will be here.
Have a fantastic weekend!! Enjoy every minute of it!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend! Sounds like a blast. And everyone has those ‘feeling like a slacker’ days during pregnancy. It’s one of the major symptoms.
I think you’re weekend away will help aleviate most of that!
Happy Birthday to Steph!
enjoy your Cupcake 10,it sounds fun.
And try this:
Unroll a can of crescent rolls and pat the seams together. Place the whole thing in the bottom of a lightly greased 13″x9″ and pat it out to cover the bottom of the pan.
Now beat an 8oz. block of cream cheese (room temp.), a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla. Spread it on the crescent rolls. Open another can of crescent rolls, press the seams together and pat it out on a piece of waxed paper so it is large enough to cover the top of the cream cheese mixture. Pick up the waxed paper and flip it over the cream cheese. Peel off the waxed paper. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar and bake at 350* until it is golden brown on top.
The BEST cream cheese danish you’ve ever had, especially warm out of the oven!
You can also add a can of peach, cherry, blueberry or apple pie filling before putting on the top crust.
Great post! You are adorable!
I hope you all have a great time getting together. =)
I’m so seriously bummed that I can’t go to Cupcake ’10.
$450 for a plane ticket isn’t in the cards.
Have a good time and safe travels.
I love your belly! And the picture of you and my favorite girl, Stephie! I love how you call her that cause that’s how we spelled it when she was a little girl. Have a great time at Cupcake 10. You girls behave yourselves!
Cupcake ’10? Anything with the word cupcake sounds fun! I’m enjoying the 80 degree weather here today with my kiddos! Crazy how it can be so drastically different here in the US!
Beautiful baby bump! I will be going to Wisconsin in a couple of weeks for a scrapbooking retreat. Too bad it wasn’t coinciding with cupcake10!! Have fun!
you ladies and your cupcakes. If there is a Cupcake11 – I am so there. And I will come loaded down with the good stuff. Mark.my.word.
I love cheese danishes too…maybe too much!

Have a great time at Cupcake10, sounds like loads of fun to be had.
Hope you had a great time eating cupcakes with your best friends…that sounds perfect!

Cupcake ’10. Such a wonderful idea. I think I want to replicate it here in AZ. How did it all come to be? And was it strange having so many “strangers” sleeping in one place? I want to hear all about it!
