Good Friday...

so we are off Good Friday, or should it be good Friday? Hmmm, just wondering?

I think I'm gonna sleep late, then after feeding/watering the dogs/chickens, I'm going bike riding - bicycle riding. I sold my motorcycle 'cause I couldn't ride it anymore, hurt my hips, arms, hands, h*ll I'm just one big pain, with or without the cycle, lol!

I'm gonna observe Good Friday by having a good day (crossing my fingers anyway!).

Anyone one wanna join me, you know how to get in touch with me.

32 hours and counting....

How do you mend a burnt bridge...

when the person on the other end doesn't want to re-build? This in lays my heartache!

I fear I'm the cause of the hate shown toward my family, and no matter how much I try to show myself to be a friend and how much I tell this person I love them, their hate/dislike/distaste for me and my family is so thick one could cut it with a knife.

How do you mend a burnt bridge?

So it's been 12 hours...

since the family arrived at the hospital for the birth of my parents first grandchild. And we are still waiting! The baby was originally breech and they were here for a c-section. Well apparently she turned during the night and I'm not sure who decided natural birth was in order, but here we sit, waiting.

Babies have minds of their own, so when she decides to join us, I'll let everyone know....

Until then, go Lilly!

I should, but I don't....

Judge me...
Think you hear what I say...
Justify your words...
I don't have the energy - physically, mentally, nor spiritually
to fight anymore.
It's a slow fade....

Cake update - part 3

Sorry it took so long to blog again...


I finished the cake, it was beautiful, but the birthday girl never said it was pretty (or ugly) or even thank you.  My feelings were hurt, but that's life, you get treated unfairly, but must continue on....


So here's the final product....

Cake update - part 2

Ok, I torted (with chocolate pudding) and crumb-coated all the cakes last night. Yeah!
The gluten-free layers and the 2-6" rounds weren't a problem. 
However, when I went to level one of the bottom 10" layers, the &;^! leveler was off and it cut the cake up something bad.  I almost had a heart attack!
After about 10 minutes of gasping for air, I finally figured out a way to 'fix' it.  I torted the side that was off,  with a few layers of icing and added pudding to make it level and BAM! there it is was, the whole cake looked level. WHEW!
Tonight, I put on the final layers, airbrush and put on the decorations.
I'll be calling James to come get it first thing in the morning, so if anything happens to it after that, it won't be my fault.  LOL!
Pictures will be posted sometime next week.
Until then, happy caking....

Cake update - part 1

Ok, so last night I got out my practice cake, put the icing on, and airbrushed it lime green and electric blue. Airbrushing comes so natural.  Maybe it's because my daddy used to paint cars.  I suppose I'm a chip off the old block.  Grin.


Then I rolled out the fondant (which I forgot to put gumpaste in); cut out a few designs; cut out the letters with tappits (this is where the gumpaste int he fondant would've been handy - it would've dried faster, thus speeding up my work time, but no, the brain wasn't in 5th gear, if it was in a gear at all); and cut out some funky flowers (yes that's the name of the cutter set).


I finished around 9PM, cleaned up and ate a piece of that cake (and 1/2 a sleeve of girl scout cookies) 'cause I was running all out when I made it home from work and didn't take the time to stop and eat.  


Needless to say, my right hand is hurting very bad.  I need to start using my left hand again, I'm ambidextrous you know - get that from my daddy, too.


Stay tuned for more....
