"Anan's (not so) Randomness!"

The desktop let me on Gmail for the first time in weeks. I is so velly happy. Even better than that is the fact that it's Tuesday. Why is Tuesday so great? Chiefly because nothing happens on Tuesday. I don't have to go anywhere if I don't want to, Monday is over, and everybody is gone but Benjamin for most of the day.

As crytical as I am of pretty much everything ever made, I am far from being a movie crytic. I don't care if it's good or not. If it's entertaining and isn't horendously unappropriate then I'm happy. Ahem. I get a big "kick" out of "27 Dresses". It's about dresses! Woot! It is sadly lacking in the homemade dress department. If I feel like watching a movie with dressmaking in it I'll have to resort to "Enchanted". Needless to say... I bugged Mom until she went out and got 27 Dresses last week. Then we had to watch it two times. *contented sigh*

When does the Narnia movie come out anyway?

Bad me shouldn't have sent this email to MH.

Why must I always take pictures in the basement? Duh Anna! Because everywhere else there are little children running around and asking for a piece of cake. Silly me.

The middle is unfinished 'cuz that's where the second tier is supposed to go. Stinkin' crummy "lighting".

I'm ready for a nap now... Fake smile.

First-off I want to say "Thank You!" to Doreana. I might even email her to that effect. Why? Because she knows that their cake (Sam's too of course) will be gorgeous without ever seeing or tasting a sample cake. I could hug her.

What inspired this? Because I just spent an hour icing the two double-layer tiers of somebody else's sample wedding cake. Tip for wedding cake shoppers: if it looks like a two year old could do it, it probably isn't easy. Really! I have no skill in making icing look like Baked Alaska! (In texture at least...) What really annoys me is that there had to be two tiers with two layers each. Just get one tier for your sample cake if you have to have a sample. Your cake decorator/chef whatever will love you. You'll get flowers and candy on your doorstep! (Home-made candy too!)

For you see, I only have one 6" square pan and one 10" square pan, so if I have to make them double layered then it's necessary to bake them in two shifts, cleaning and re-greasing, flouring, and re-wetting the "magi-cake strips". This is an absolute pain in my opinion. Maybe if I was getting paid $30 an hour I wouldn't mind, but that isn't the case.

Maybe I'll take pictures of the stupid thing when it's done, or I'll try to forget about it until I have to take another, larger shot at it in 2009...

Must Sleep... and get up and pipe stinkin' little flowers...

And if you're too proud to read it to yourself... read it to a little kid (or at least someone who's younger [have fun with that]) and then you can pretend that it's for the other person's benefit, when it's really because you desperately want to read it. I did tell you to after all. :-D
