ION, Hec, Emmett and Matilda just left for the first day of school post-break and the first day of preschool. Matilda is still in her footie PJs, with all her clothes in a bag, happily chattering to Daddy and seething with rage at me. She's sickish and didn't want to get up, wouldn't be bribed or cozened or bullied into it, just sobbed and raged and went simultaneously corpse-rigid and boa constrictor-squirmy, and finally just howled at me in helpless fury. Hec had to get dressed with her glued to his leg, and even though she wasn't raging at him she also wouldn't let him dress her, so off they went with her things in a sack, in hopes that she'll be a little more pliable after a car ride with Emmett and a bunch of fun music.
I can't blame her--getting up early sucks, rushing sucks, and new places are stressful as can be--but, still and all, that well and truly blew chunks.
I'm eating a sausage egg and cheese McGriddle. It's the first time I've had one this decade.
JZ, I'd be happy to paypal you - let's take to email.
Oh, the traumas of youth.
Random, Much?: Wrigley Field Flyover X-Wing Cake [Geeky Cake]
Behold this bold (and, yes: detailed) piece of groom’s cake randomness from Mark of Piece of Cake. In case there’s any confusion, that is–indeed–an X-Wing fighter flying over a Wrigley Field cake.
…it was actually a groom’s cake for a wedding this past summer. From what I hear, is that he loved it, and didn’t cut into it, until the next day with all their family.
wtf is a "groom's cake"?
I love the nail polish exchange! I may join in.
While we're talking nails, anyone have a product rec or two for nails that peel? I've been keeping mine short and using OPI's Nail Envy as a base coat, but the peeling will not stop. And I can't resist peeling them. Will consider another base coat or pills.
groom's cake are an additional cake usually at a reception. Smaller and often chosen by the groom.
wtf is a "groom's cake"?
It's a smaller secondary wedding cake for people who want two cakes at their weddings. (Presumably the bride has the final say on what THE wedding cake flavor is, hence the second cake is the groom's cake.)
And they are often fun, not white tiers.
It's obvious tommyrot doesn't watch Ace of Cakes. Groom's cakes are a big part of their business.
