I am my own worst enemy

And my mom is a dangerous accomplice. Last week, she bought me this. With the accompanying cake mix. And I had to make it the next day, I mean, it would be rude not to, right?
It was delicious, but I've got ideas on ways to make it better. Oh, and if you do get the pans, don't follow Williams-Sonoma's instructions of buttering the pans and lightly flouring them. They probably say that because it sounds fancier than "douse the pan with Pam." But Pam works way better. The buttered/floured side is face down on the plate because it fell apart.

And then after enjoying the cake, I just happened to see my Facebook profile picture that hasn't changed in nearly 2 years (yeah, I'm on Facebook a lot). Oh, flat stomach--how I miss you. Someday we'll be reunited. I hope. For now, I have cake to eat.

Laura gets here tonight. There's a lot of great TV to watch (24! Golden Globes! Other stuff I'm forgetting!) and food to eat, so we've really got our work cut out for us. So the diet will have to wait. Besides, you're not supposed to limit calories when you start breastfeeding because you don't want it to lower supply, right? So no dieting for what, a year? I think the same goes for exercising...

And a picture of Annabelle, just because:
She's totally worth not being able to fit in any pants.

I have that pan too!!! Got it for my birthday and I have a great recipe to go with it if you are interested. I just used the Bakers Joy spray that has the flour in it. works perfect. It's so adorable, and so is little Annabelle. Hope to see you both soon. :)

Annabelle is so cute! I love the name you picked. It took us a day after Bella and Jenna were born to decide on their names. It took me 6 months to really like Jenna's name too. I hate picking out girl names.

That is one amazing cake! And of course two darling little ones.

I really think that we need to hang out more because you and I think way too much alike! At least when it comes to the sweets that is. I have wanted one of those cookie pans for so long!!! I might have to borrow it from you! it's amazing! And on another note...I don't know if I ever told you on your last post CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BEAUTIFUL ANNABELL!! She is gorgeous and I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to meet her!
