Magic of Cakes

There is one T.V. show that I just adore, Ace of Cakes. Chef Duff is a creative riot. It is absolutely amazing what he and his cronies can create with a little flour, sugar, and gum paste. Not only that, but me makes me laugh out loud at times. Out of curiosity, I decided to google Charm City Cakes and see what came up. Sure enough, their website contains loads of pictures of beautifully crafted fresh cakes...starting at $1000. Woah! They are amazing, but could you imagine spending that much on a cake?? These are just some of their fantastic creations...





And my all time favorite, of course....

GOTTA GET THIS!


I have found two new "must haves" that I MUST HAVE! Check out that chair! Can't you just imagine this nice living room with hardwood floors, leather furniture, and over in the corner this chair!! I LOVE a little whimsy in a room! How fun! This will be my grandkids favorite chair ever! And I probably won't get it until I have grandkids.

Behind the chair, you'll notice the latest fashion trend. Can't you just see me walking into church, a wedding, or some other event with this dress? Total show stopper! Eric's going to think I've really lost it now. He still hasn't comprehended my love of the "stream of fish" coffee table. No creativity in that man.

That's the Last Straw

The Culprit

Well, today I left around 2 pm to go pick Pods up from school. Dad stayed home with the boys who were napping. When I returned home, dad went upstairs to release the rascals from their holding cell. A terrible odor quickly filled the hallway and I could barely enter the room to inspect any damage. Meanwhile, dad cleaned up the behinds. Now, I must cut him some slack because he has four inch stints up his nostrils from his polyp-removal surgery last week. I know he has no sense of smell and you NEVER gripe about a man who changes a diaper-especially and foul smelling one. He did a splendid job of giving them back their little shiny hiney's. However, he somehow missed the chocolate on Frijole Man's hands. Frijole Man had a little boo-boo and needed a little TLC, so of course, I pick him up and lay his head on my shoulder. He's my little lover and very tenderly starts running his fingers through my hair. I didn't notice his hands, but I did notice the odor that followed me everywhere. That's when I traced it back to the source. Of course, I'm already running late while trying to get Kathryn to ballet. No time to clean it, so I just had to tie it up in a bun and take off, with the windows down of course. It wasn't caked in my hair, just lightly brushed through. I'm not going to tell you that it's now 9:50 pm and I'm still sitting here with a bun in my hair. I have priorities and the blog came first. I'm off to the shower now....and the hair will be gone soon.
