Want Some Cake?

[bunchofgrapes]

Seriously. I have two cakes so there's plenty to share.



My boss and her family sent me a Perfect Endings Devils Food Chocolate cake to die for and then another friend sent me a Junior’s carrot cake that looks soooo yummy! They both have to thaw but I can’t wait to dig in. If you’ve never had anything from Perfect Endings, I’m telling ya, you have to splurge sometime. I heard about the cupcakes from watching Oprah (shuddup) and decided to order them on a whim. ZOMG! So good! I'm sure the cake will be just as melt in your mouth yummy. Oh, and to top it all off, my aunt and uncle sent me an edible arrangement. I've been on a fruit kick lately so this was perfect. It's this massive arrangement of assorted melons, strawberries, oranges and grapes. Luckily, my frig has shelves that can be removed.

Add to the cake and fruit love some virtual gift love from inamberclad and airforce_chic. Then there's the mail love...

Last week I got a card from gsr_sara_gil and cards and packages from jenbachand and tos_lover. I was a good girl and waited until this morning to actually open everything. It was like Christmas!

I got biscotti and coolest mug teapot ever from tos_lover. I love tea and biscotti and can’t wait to give both a try. From jenbachand I got a box of cool stuff. I particularly love the notepad, tire gauge (always a good thing to have on hand), the fold-up bag (great for traveling) and the letter opener. Btw, I have the CSI Magazine, NYC edition to send to you, if you’re still interested in it.

Also worth mentioning is the really cool card I got from Cirque du Soleil. It plays this tune that’s basically the same thing over and over but I love it. Hey, I’m old now. Simple things amuse me.

Called mom this morning to wish her a happy birthday (she turned 65 today). We had a nice chat. It’s funny but we don’t get along in person but on the phone? It’s mostly all good. I’m not even going to try to figure that out.

Usually I’d go to my dad and stepmother’s tonight for dinner and cake but my sister’s birthday is this Sunday so my stepmother called over the weekend to ask if it would be okay if we did one big Easter dinner and cake. That worked out perfectly for me. I had a massage scheduled for tonight and then I really wanted to see the Caps play the Blackhawks so now I can. On the way home from the massage, I stopped at Moby Dick’s for some carry-out kabobs and now I get to look forward to cake.

My thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and thoughtfulness. All in all, this was a pretty great birthday.

Yay! Glad you had a great day! Enjoy the randomness. The fold up bag I keep clipped to my purse & use instead of plastic bags all the time. :)

And I'll take the magazine if you feel like sending. :)

PS: Those cakes look yummy!

That's a great idea about the bag. I shop at Whole Foods a lot now and I always feel a little guilty when I have to use their bags. And I can make Ed Begley Jr happy.

It always takes me forever to get stuff in the mail but I'll get the magazine to you.

I tried both cakes tonight. Holy crap! They're unbelievably good!

They're cheap bags & so sturdy. You can buy them online for $5. I actually have 3 on my purse & take a few others with me when I go to the grocery. I'm so geeky. :D

Sounds like you had an awesome day, I'm glad. I'm all about food. Always :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

I hope you had the most awesomness of days (it sounds like you did) and plenty of cake :)

[bunchofgrapes]

Thank you! Much awesomeness was had and I got even more cake today, when I did the birthday/Easter dinner with the family. I'm sick of cake now. That won't last long though.

I know this is late, but Happy Birthday. I just find it funny that you and my mother share the same birthday! Glad you received my virtual gift too. I would have done this sooner but with being on leave and Easter and all, I haven't gotten on here in a couple of days. Glad to hear your day was a good one!

Me, my mother, your mother and my ex-boyfriend all share the birthday. And the weird thing? I'm sure I'm not that much older/younger than your mother. Thanks again for your virtual gift.

You're welcome for the gift. My mother was born in 1950. I am the youngest (26 yo) of 3 kids. My brother is 9 years older than me and my sister is 3 years older than me.
