At this particular moment, I'm trying to let Eisley "soothe" herself to sleep by screaming her guts out. I am not sure how "crying it out" works because she usually cries until she pees, then I change her and we have to start all over and the crying never lessens, it just intensifies. We'll see how long it takes though. I think she's been at it for eight minutes so far.
I guess I could do an hour if I had my headphones in and played music deafeningly loud. Ooooh, she's stopped crying. I wonder how long she'll be quiet?! Oh, it's sad. I can hear her little ragged breaths from crying so hard. Awww. I gave her a kiss on the head so she knows I am not wanting to be ruthless.
Anyway... I worked on the gingerbread house for a bit before Eisley woke up. Then we watched How I Met Your Mother while she had breakfast. I wish Ty were here because it was a good episode and I want to talk about it with him. I like talking about tv shows with Ty. I wish I had friends.
After we finished, we went into the dining room to work on the gingerbread house more while Eis kicked and coasted on the dining room table so she could see. Eventually, she got tired and I took her to take a nap... and I worked on the house some more.
Today I made the gingerbread man and finished the sides of the house, made fondant stairs leading up the front and back doors, and assembled all the pieces. Plus, I did the front walkway, the pretzel perimeter and started on the roof. I just went and took these two pics because blogs are far more enjoyable when they have pictures. I really should put up a pic everyday...
First, there's my front of the house with Grape Nuts gravel sidewalk and fondant front steps.
Obviously, it's not done. I'll put up pics of it when it is.
I worked on it for a few hours today, until my dad got home from golf and I left him with Eisley, so I could go see Breaking Dawn: Part 1. It was good. I'm irritated they cut it into two parts because I think they just did it to make more money. Harry Potter had to be cut into because it was a five to six hour movie if they left it whole. However, this movie was not even two full hours! If you're going to break it up, at least don't cut half the storyline. Jeesh.
I thought the part of the splitting of the wolf pack was a bit... odd/lame/poorly done. But, I am not sure how it could have been done better. It's one thing to write what happened, but to have to show it and make it to where people can understand what's going on (if they haven't read the books, that is)... that's difficult. It was just a bit cheesy.
Edward looked less than stellar, though they eased up on the white makeup on all the vampires, which was nice. Jacob was still smoking, but so was Seth. I'm almost surprised I didn't marry someone a bit more ethnic ;)
There were some good previews before the movie started. Snow White and the Hunstman looks good -- it has Charlize Theron as the wicked witch and Kristin Stewart as Snow White. Man on a Ledge seems interesting -- about a man who's framed for stealing a giant diamond and pretends to threaten to jump off a building, while actually trying to prove his innocence. Finally, there's The Vow, which I can't remember what it's about, but I know I though it looked good and wanted to see it with Tyler; it comes out in February, so I figure it'll still be around in March.
