Steph, so glad you bought the blue dress! You will look awesome!
My brain is mush, so that's all I've got.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Tep, have them make a sample smaller cake a few months ahead.
Also, one of few great things about planning a wedding? You can call up EVERY bakery in town that does weddings, say "Hi, we're planning our wedding and shopping for our cake", and then go on epic cake tasting tours. Seriously. This is something bakeries do.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We took Mom and Stepdad out today for Stepdad's birthday, and then we went to see my niece again, because she is just so damn cute. Who could resist this face? I fed her peaches and cereal.

Because books.
"Hi, we're planning our wedding and shopping for our cake"
What if you're just planning to ... eat a lot of cake?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Hey Ginger, want to go to London for my birthday?
I wish I could, but I'm afraid my funds are committed to exciting trips through the PET scan machine. The good news is that my blood work is normal, and last week's PET scan didn't show any spread outside my bones, which is about as good as I can hope for.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Tim's objection to the cupcakes -- at least, that he's told me about -- is that they're messy and drop crumbs because people eat them with their hands rather than on a plate with forks, and that means more for the B&B staff to clean up. I pointed out that our families aren't howler monkeys and will be neat and clean, but he was still dubious.
Serve them on a plate with a fork?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Well, save that confession for here after you taste ALL THE CAKES. If you put it on Facebook, some local bakery police might see it and cry shenanigans on your cake tasting tour.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I don't really care about the timing, I just don't want to go a trip with someone I don't know who may have different motivations for being there. I want to see theatre, go to a few museums, eat at some good places, and hang out in pubs. Is it bad to say I don't want to go now?
No, it's not bad. It's honest.
But, I have to be honest, Vortex. I would want to see the crown jewels again if I went. We can never go to London together. Or plan a few hours apart.
Amy, I think you and S totally should have a recommitment ceremony. Those can have cake. Presto, cake tasting.

I'm glad the blood work and PET scans were good, Ginger.
Traveling with someone whose priorities don't mesh with yours can get pretty tense. But if you're ok with hanging in a pub for a few hours while they do the Tower and such, it could work out. Is your friend someone with whom you could say, "Swing by the Red Lion when you're ready to see the Museum"?

Good job, Ginger's body. Keep that up.
