And oh crap I just canceled everything I mean to backorder. Oops. Oh well, they can place new orders.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I came here to bitch about my own stupidity, but other people's stupidity burns even hotter.
If it makes you feel better MB, I was making swiss meringue buttercream for the first time and missed the part where I had to whip the egg whites to double size before adding the butter, so I added butter to the sugared liquid egg whites and now I have a buttery soup. I am attempting to soften more butter to make more buttercream, but as I am meeting my friend at 8, I am not confident that it will soften in time for me to make frosting (regular buttercream with powdered sugar, which I don't love the texture of which was why I was doing the swiss meringue).
Eat plain cake you say? Well, see that's an issue because I found some cupcake batter in the freezer and decided to use that instead of baking a new cake. Forgot that cupcakes are excellent and fudgy, but do not rise very much, so I had two flat cake layers. Get the brilliant idea to cut out rounds and stack them with buttercream in between and frost as mini cakes with three layers. Such a good idea if I hadn't forked up the buttercream.
But, good news is that the cake was a surprise, so if I have no cake, there is no disappointment.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Ugh for both msbelle and Vortex. Frustrating and somewhat angry-making, even if it's in very different ways.
Debet, sweet mother Mary. That's a whole new circle of hell. Every Buffista teacher has my respect right now. Also, an alibi if they need it.
-t, whoops. But yay vacation!

Absolutely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After reading all that I need a drink, msbelle! I'm sorry. Also, Dag.
What she said!
Seriously, y'all are going Through It.
I just made a weird baked good with coconut flour. If only all the coconut flour recipes weren't trying to be healthy! This has zucchini and bananas and I guess I overcooked it because it looked 100% raw when I think it was actually cooked. It tastes OK. (I got the coconut flour on a whim free from a neighbor, so I'm going to give it one more shot and then pass the rest on to someone else.)

Hm, I think I've seen no to striving to be healthy recipes for coconut flour. Maybe Thai desserts? Something sweet...
I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO ON VACATION I WILL BE WORKING ON THIS DAMN PROJECT FOREVER

Yikes msbelle. That's nuts. And vortex, oh no!! What a sad waste of buttercream.
I had a dreadful day yesterday (headache/stomach ache, barky dog, and a couple work emergencies) but today was ok. And dog is off getting groomed so I went to the store (though I should've made a list) and am doing laundry and am feeling very relaxed. Though they ought to call me to come pick him up pretty soon I think.

Also, in "wow my life is super gay" news, turns out the person whose parked motorcycle I backed into and tipped, the other week? Is someone I matched with on tinder back in like March and neither of us realized until they just messaged me having redone loaded the app and were like "wait a sec..." SO GAY

That is hilarious, meara.
So sad about the cake making travails, Vortex!
I AM DONE WITH WORKING FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS (except for the one thing that I can't get out of doing even while I am on vacation, sigh (and turning off my phone but that isn't so much working as going in to work for a minute which I will try to do tomorrow or maybe I will just not answer my phone))
