I am pretty excited. In about 10 hours, I will be leaving on my first American road trip in over three years! Woop! And I will be going to Missouri! I haven't been there since summer 2007. Should be fun!

We are going to St Louis to pick up our car. J's car. Our car that we bought in 2008. Our Dodge. The car J will be driving. Whatever you want to call it! That car is in St Louis. And we are picking it up tomorrow. J will be driving back to Ft Campbell, and the girls and I will be continuing on to Ma's house.

So, today I went to the store to buy snacks and drinks. I made a few desserts for J, since he will be home without his Suzy Homebaker. Strawberry ice cream, and cookies and cream ice cream. I also made homemade poptarts. I rock, huh? Well, I hope I rock. The ice cream is waiting to be tested. And the tarts... Well, they were ok. I have some doctoring to do. The recipe called for way too much butter. But stupid me continued with the recipe, and I regreted it. Next time, I will cut a lot of that out. But it was a good base camp!

I want my own bakery. Really. It's not too much to ask, is it? I want to be surrounded by all the tools I need and tons of sugar. Who wants to plant my money tree?!
