Hindsight

What the crap was I thinking??  This planning birthday parties is for the birds!!  I decided on a care bear theme since she is going to be one and she can't really make that decision just yet, and it is next to impossible to find anything care bear out there.  Just like always with me, I am a year or two behind on what is 'cool'.  I found the most darling cake that I am going to attempt to make her.  It is adorable in the picture...I am sure it will be a complete disaster after I get done with it though:)

Last time I attempted to bake a cake it was nice and pretty in the oven, and when I went to make sure it was done (with a spaghetti noodle) it completely collapsed right in front of my eyes.  It was kind of interesting to eat a hollow cake...I don't know where the middle went, it was just a crusty outer layer.  So I bought the Betty Crocker confetti mix to go with the whole care bear rainbow thing.  I swear if that damn thing falls I will stuff the thing with loads of icing!

For her birthday we bought her a convertible car seat...that thing was $160!!!  She also has Fred Flintsone feet so I took her to Stride Rite and get her feet measured.  I looked at the 5 pairs they had to choose from at 40 bucks a pop and decided I would take a gander at ebay when I got home.  I want her to have new shoes and I thought I would get a better deal off the internet.  I was wrong, I ended up saving maybe 5 dollars on the two pairs I have gotten her so far.  But, then I paid that much in shipping, so really I saved not a dime.  Ah well...

I have been doing the most bizarre things lately too!  The other day I was watching that show unwrapped where they show you how to make different food items, and they were going to show how to make fruity pebbles.  I got distracted and was not able to watch that part... believe it or not, I was actually really interested.  So when I asked my boyfriend how they made it, I could not physically get the words to come out of my mouth right!!  I NEVER have problems pronouncing words like some people (like the ones who say suposebly!!! pet peeve by the way)!  I kept talking gibberish.  I kept saying poodle froodles or something crazy.  Then when I went to put the stamps on the invitations, I put them on the wrong side!!!  I must be losing my mind!! Stress is a bully I say!!

Please lord don't let my cake do this:
