So it's been almost a year...

sorry! my dad made me this sheet cake for my birthday. well my husband's birthday is the day after mine so he made it for the both of us. the pink side is for me and the white side is for him. pretty awesome, huh.

OH IT'S HAPPENING...

it seems like the sheet cake eating contest previously only dreamed about it going to happen IN REAL LIFE.... at an undisclosed location mere weeks away. the shit-talking has already begun. me vs etta maims, a battle of titans to see who can eat the most sheet cake in a certain amount of time? or who can eat a whole sheet cake first? details are unimportant and will be hashed out later, hopefully with loads of photographic documentation.

mmhmm.

Another dazzling entry!

By faithful reader Chrystina Riggs. Nothing like a baby/toddler birthday that brings out the cake-artistry in people. AND this is a total twofer!! Same party TWO sweet 50 pound cakes. ANd thank you Chrystina for providing delightful commentary so I don't have to think this morning. Bless you.

"Saturday my boyfriend and I attended our nephew's 1 year birthday. My boyfriend's mom decided to make a plane cake because, for whatever reason, our nephew's parents decided on having lots of planes and crap in the baby room. Now, admitedly, the cake isn't that bad given that its maker has multiple schlerosis, but it is a monstrosity."



"It took 6 boxes of cake mix and I'm pretty sure the icing was straight sugar. The wings were chocolate, the rest was yellow cake.The leftover pieces were made into a creepy cake crucifix, which I'm fairly sure is blasphemous to eat, but the 1-year-old ate it anyhow cos babies only go to purgatory or something. Point being, the cross cake was all lopsided and the pieces were all vastly different shapes and sizes, though it is hard to tell by the photo. There were jokes about taking home the leftovers, of which there was quite a lot: "I'll take the fuselage" to "Oh, I guess this is the real mystery of Lost.""

Wicked Awesome.

Happy Birthday Carissa!!

is everyone turning 30 this year? Christ.

Earth-Day is her Birth-Day

piece of shit cake

Battlestar Galactica is kind of a mini bain of my existence. My husband and a few friends are like HARDCORE fans of this show, and now that I think of it anyone I know who is a fan at all is a HARDCORE fan. I always came home late from derby practice when it was on so i never got into it though I sure do hear about it a lot. Like, a LOT. And he has a crush on Starbuck, but I can deal with that.
Here is a totally amazing flickr set found by reader Chrystina Riggs.

ALSO... we were blogged about on a blog! Holy shit!
Check it out here .

lets go back in time...

to thanksgiving. check out the pumpkin pie i made!
with fancy leaves and stuff!

i learned that pumpkin pie batter is almost better than pumpkin pie itself. and far more likely to give you salmonella.

and not so far back in time when it was mine and jon's birthday. he was having a milestone bday so i didn't want to steal too much thunder. just a little thunder.

Happy Belated!

I am the absolute WORST when it comes to remembering birthdays. Most of my friends can attest to that. I don't know what it is. You know its bad when you have to rely on myspace and even then it doesn't always keep you in the know. I got birthday reminders on Thursday for two birthdays that were the day before. Miss Amelia and Miss Mary Smack, happy belated!

Damn you myspace!

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARLOT FEVAH

redundancy from her myspace but i don't care. I love this broad. I don't know why but I just do.
But Seriously.....

Sorry so late. I had the worst day at work today evAr. Hope you had fun times with Poppa F!
