Lateral Promotion and Links

  Today, Hubby gets laterally promoted to 1SG.....he has been waiting for this for a long time.  :)  I can't be at the promotion ceremony, so I sent in cupcakes.  I made two kinds...oatmeal cream pie and chocolate cupcakes with thin mint frosting.  I went all Irish yesterday as well and made corned beef with veggies and colcannon.  Not bad for an Asian-American.  :)  No pictures of the cupcakes....I was too tired to care by the time I finished them up.  :)  Here are some of the links (Justin case you get a bug up your bum to make something different):

Now that he has a job.....I'm hoping to get to some crafty projects that have been neglected.  Okay,  there is housework that needs to be done as well.  For example, taking down the Christmas Tree....wee one wants me to keep it up, but it needs to come down.  :)  Taxes...that would be good to finish up as well.  I don't get anything done when he is home.  :)  That stack of library books won't read itself either.
