Murder

This past weekend Sarge and I drove up to Guthrie, OK for a Murder Mystery. It was so damn awesome! We got to dress up in 40's clothes (he looked so dashing!), eat god food, try to figure out a murder with a group of somewhat drunk people and stay and a fabulous bed and breakfast. THEN on the way back, we stopped off in Pauls Valley to see the Toy and Action Figure Museum. It kicked ASS!

The Stone Lion Inn - So fabulous.

Shady attorney Randall Fairgate and his insanely jealous wife Jane.

The mural of the Egyptian God Smutt as he presents the pharaoh his gift of Viagra.

The DC characters in action figure form. So. Fucking. Cool.

Oh yeah... I cut my hair.

Cute isn't it?

I'd write more and catch up on things since my last post the beginning of February, but i have to get ready for work now!

Late Valentine's Cake




Just late posting. My favorite Valentine's cake. It was for a little kid school party.

What Did She Say?

Cabbage Patch was just reading nursery rhymes out loud.

Her: Hot cow buns, hot cow buns, one, two, three...
Me: What? Hot COW buns?
Her: *ignoring me* Hot cow buns, hot cow buns..
Me: Hot CROSS buns, not hot COW buns!

Holiday Confusion

Cabbage Patch: Only one person didn't do Valentine's Day.
Super Girl: Who?
CP: Matthew.
Super Girl: Why?
CP: Because his parents don't want him to.
Me: It's because of his religion.
CP: What?
Me: Like how we don't celebrate Christmas and Easter.
CP: We celebrate Easter!
Me: No, no we don't. Your dad does.
SG: I celebrate Groundhog Day!
Me: ....

Totally Worth It

Paying other people to run the birthday party. The kids had a fab time, the grown ups had a great time and I didn't have to do anything other than show up with cake (and money). Yay for gay party planners who do everything!

Why I Rock

Because two days before a wedding someone can book me to make THIS: And I make it happen even though today is Valentine's day (busiest day of the year).

Seriously... who books a 4 tiered cake that feeds 134 people with two days notice? Who?

A two day notice for a wedding cake should be THIS:
People are crazy.

Happy Birthday Super Girl!

Holy shit! I have a 10 year old!

VD Surprise



It's a candle! So damn cute! Such a sweet surprise. I love it!

(Sicko, you thought it was something that would require antibiotics!)

Things That Make Me Laugh

Cabbage Patch said she wanted to be a tattoo artist when she grows up.

Cabbage Patch has to do a project for Black History Month. One of the people on the list of notable African Americans is RuPaul. I didn't take any convincing to get her to decide on RuPaul as her subject. I'm thoroughly impressed that her teacher would include RuPaul on the list.

Extended Hours

I worked forEVER today. Really. It was forever. Infact I think I'm still at work and I just THINK I'm home. The worst part is that I didn't finish everything. Man it was a busy day. HUGE shipment of product. Bad weather blowing in spurring many people on to SHOP for groceries. I even left a cake undone. I just had to leave, it was 2 hours past when I was supposed to get off work. 2 hours. Tomorrow is a day off for me, but I'm going to go in to do that damn cake. Gah!

And bad weather... blowing through now. Just heard the thunder. Listening to the weather on the TV now. Have had calls from Sarge and K tonight alerting me to tornado warnings in my area. *sigh* Gotta love those men. Ah! Tornado warning cancled for my area. And.... the tornado sirens just went off...

Hair Change

One Week To Go

Super Girl's 10th birthday party. I'm just now starting to get stressed. How awesome is that? I'm a bit of a control freak in the party area. This year I'm paying for the party AT a place, like I did with her sister's party this past year. It was super easy and yet super hard. Easy because I just throw money at this place to make it happen all I have to do is show up with cake and children. Hard because I have to give up control on this and THAT is making me a little MENTAL. I know, I know, get the fuck over it. I'm trying!

Rude?

One mom RSVP'd for her child today and then asked if her older daughter could come along. I honestly didn't know what to say so I just said yes. I've been that kid who's sister went to the party and I got to stay home, I lived yes, but I kind of felt left out. I don't EVER do this when the Tiny Terrorists get invitations, just seems pushy and rude. Just weird.

Hair Color and Stuffed Olives

I colored my hair... really, really dark brown with burgundy over. And cut bangs in. I really like it. Though it still shocks me every time I see myself in the mirror.

I ate 10 or so stuffed olives tonight. Some with garlic, others with jalapenos. mmmmmmm.

BSG

Holy shit! Un-fucking-believable! Damn I wish it wasn't ending.

Procrastination...

Sending out invites for Super Girl's party just now. Party is the 15th. Nothing like waiting until the last minute.

I suck.

Bragging

Just had to tell people how very proud I am of my oldest child. Super Girl's 10th birthday is on the 13th and we are having her party on the 15th. Earlier this year the girls and I walked in a 5K for Heroes For Children, some of you may remember me asking for donations for the team we walked with. That experience made such an impact on Super Girl that she decided to collect donations for Heroes For Children in lieu of getting gifts for her birthday.

If you'd like to support her in this endeavor, you can go to the Heroes For Children web site and make a donation in Super Girl's honor. http://www.heroesforchildren.org/donate.html (contact me for her name to do that in - I really didn't name my kid Super girl.)

I'm humbled by her compassion and generosity. And so glad she's my little girl.

Thanks
Judy

Gang Lands

Today I made a birthday cake for a gang member. My first gang (and probably only) gang cake. WTF?

Change

My goodness this website sure does need a change. I've had this same background for probably 5 years as I got the background from my exboyfriend. I like it really, I just think it's time to change things up a bit. And for the life of me I can't think of what to do. Blah. Rut. Blog Rut.

Moving on, D has moved out (mostly) and Super Girl is itching to move into that room. More changes on the horizon. It's all good.

Work is in a constant state of flux at the moment. One person quits, the other part time person is turning out to be somewhat flaky and no clue how it'll work out with the new person when she's hired.

And I'm blogging once again. I kind of fell off the earth for a while. I really was feeling over exposed. I'm not sure I'll go back to regularly blogging on MySpace. To much drama, etc. over there. I'll stay here as I've blogged here for 10 years, just not sure about MySpace.

Now I must get some laundry done and the livingroom straightened up before I head to bed. Inventory tomorrow so I HAVE to be at work on time. Blah. Not enough days off.

I Love February

The unpredictable weather. The short month. The silly holidays. Pink and red. Hearts and flowers. And I get to make pretty cakes. I get to give the ones I love a token of my devotion and affection (and take one of them to see the King Tut exhibit).

Dear February;

Be my Valentine. I'll even put out on the first date!

All yours,
Judy
