Happy Birthday
Someone in our house has a birthday today.
I was by myself last night, since Ginger had gone down to her sister’s house to make cookies. I decided to make a cake, and had even stopped on the way home to get the right kind of cake mix (butter pecan). Unfortunately, I didn’t think to ask just how much of our kitchen had been removed in order to make the cookies. I had to run out to the corner store to get eggs. The mixer was gone, so I had to mix it by hand, and the only bowl in the house was a small one, so I had to make the cake in two passes. It still turned out all right. And I’m glad I spent the extra five minutes digging through the cupboard to find the canola oil. Olive oil probably wouldn’t have worked too well.
While the cake was baking, I wrapped the gifts that I had gotten in a really nice blue wrapping paper. It’s very shiny, sparkly, elegant looking. BUT, the tape doesn’t stick to it. I had forgotten about it since the last time I used it. Next time I’m using the hot-melt-glue-gun instead of tape.
I took the day off, not really sure if we were going to do anything. Last week, we were going to Crystal City, but that got canceled.
I really didn’t think that anyone would want to make a special trip just to wander around and look at plane sculptures, so I took pictures.
