The solution

I have been pretty frustrated with my method of playing my ipod in the car. It's a fm transmitter thing and it is terrible. There are hardly any stations that don't pick up any signal so that I can play the ipod through them. If I do find one then I have to sometimes hold the wire around to keep the song playing without interference. I have downloaded alot of songs for the boys and wanted to be able to play them from my ipod in the car. So today I found my solution at least temporarily......meet my new friend.........my iDog... :})

This little guy will find a new home in my car and will allow me to easily play songs whenever I want and I know the boys will enjoy him. He even barks when the music stops playing. He dances with his head and ears and flashes lights on his face. In fact he's sitting here with me now playing music and dancing while I'm posting. A cute little fix for now.

Tomorrow is the big "Construction Party". D wanted a construction birthday party so that's what we are having. I'm renting a big inflatable slide also for everyone to slide on. We're just having family and our close neighbors. Maybe next year I'll go for the "friend" birthday party, we'll see. Anyway I have some cute things planned and I'm so excited for him to get his new bike! The weather was beautiful today and is supposed to be the same tomorrow. I'm attempting to make and decorate his cake myself. I have found alot of cute ideas online and I'm going to try to combine some of them and come up with my own creation. It should be fun. So far the first part is done, I got the cake out of the pan upside down safely. So next I will ice it and decorate it. I'm going to freeze it first tonight. I read online that someone froze the cake overnight first before frosting and it made it easier to frost. I'm going to try it. The party isn't until 3pm so I will have plenty of time to decorate and I know the cake will be defrosted for sure.

I signed up for the work weight loss contest again. I figure I probably won't win this time since I won't have as much too lose as others possibly could. Although, this will help me with my own motivation to get to my wishing point. Also, I figure with a little extra motivation maybe I could make some people really mad and win two times in a row!!! Wouldn't that be pretty cool....hee hee. The next twelve weeks will be interesting. The contestants will have to endure Halloween, Thanksgiving and early part of December Christmas parties. Wish me luck!! It starts on Monday, yikes!
