I spent today making my wife's birthday cake. It's my first attempt at decorating. It is a moist four layer chocolate cake with peanut butter butter cream icing, then added crushed oreos to make the icing black for the ears.

Size wise it is about 15" high x 18" across.

That looks awesome.
I'm not expecting dh to make me a cake since he is working tonight. We might get me birthday churros if we go out or something on sale at the store. I think that might make me some Tex-Mex this weekend (with hopefully fresh guacamole).

If what I just read turns out DHS will also be getting guardians in ToT....

I was hoping that Joe Rohde would ask to fix the yeti. He reads people's tweets to him and knows that people want a working yeti over unwanted change to the ToT.

Joe has said he will fix the yeti before he retires. I think they will wait until avatar opens. Its also not Joe's decision to redo the tower, he just designs and oversees it. The executives made the decision.

Early happy birthday! Hopefullly that might count as making you a (virtual) cake.

We were digging around for various pieces of information about my neighborhood (ghost tour time), and I found a link to an article I read last year. My neighborhood Disney claim to fame! If I could, I'd put a shrine at the house. My favorite prince!

Thanks--you are only a few hours early. Today's one of my cousins birthday---I remember his birth/name being told to Sis and me after I blew out my candles (Dad was away for business on the west coast...it was his baby sister's first kid). Chocolate chip birthday cake was that year's flavor. and regular 2 layer shape cake. I did have seasonal cakes before that year or a theme shared with sis sometimes. Past notable birthday childhood cakes: 2 cakes for joint birthday celebration in Peanuts theme Snoopy and his doghouse, pumpkin shape cake with the candy pumpkins on top, a ghost shape cake with egg shell eyes that were lit up, Pac-man, and barbies (joint b-day celebration with a girl scout sleep over). The cakes got less fancy when Mom was volunteering and eventually back to working.

10,000th post that counts...

To celebrate I should go to Disneyland (virtually for now)! or since I'm an East Coaster-- I'm going to Disneyworld (virtual for now via You tube)!

Thank you everyone. When I got home from dance class, DH said she might not even last the night. She is very weak and when she walks, she almost falls over. I hate this.

Sending you some positive thoughts for today.

Friday randoms....

-I'm partial, obviously, but there is nothing more beautiful than Kentucky in October. Crispness in the air, leaves changing colors, and fog settling down on the horse farms. Today was the first day that I ever considered pulling over and just taking pictures on the way to work. I'm spoiled.

-I've never seen a recipe posted on Facebook that I thought looked like a must-make.

-All this playoff baseball has my DVR stacked with stuff I've missed. Multiple episodes of "Designated Survivor" and "Timeless", two shows I have high hopes for.

-Hate that I never got to see George Strait in concert. I know that he just stands there, basically, but still....so many great songs.

-I don't have Netflix...does it have old Disney live-action films from the 60's and 70's? Those are my jam.

ugh, not really excited about this as I love ToT - especially the Florida version. I personally am ok when the parks have different attractions - more motivation to visit both!

At least in DLR it is going to fit into a Marvel land - feels like ToT is still really popular in DHS, just leave it along and spend the money elsewhere (I know an overlay is relatively inexpensive but it is still $ that could be spent elsewhere)

Llama - we too have a bunch of stuff on the DVR ... and of course last night I got sucked into watching Angels and Demons (was into it with Inferno coming out today) so that didn't help at all

I feel like we got about 1 weeks of the perfect fall weather and now it is cold again - only 40 degrees when I left the house this morning and we had snow yesterday. #ThanksShanghai

Ditto! Been in those shoes...I recommend alcohol (at the time, it put me to sleep after my tears).

I'm loving designated survivor!

I am loving that we are seeing some "fall" weather here in Central PA. I will get one last blast of summer when I head to FL on Monday.

I have a couple of things on my DVR that need removed before I leave. I have been putting the movies on Freeform for Halloween on the DVR, so I can get watch them this weekend.

I can can I have been able to see King George in concert twice and I have loved each of them!! Even though he stands there, his concerts were in the "round" and he would move around the stage to see each side.

Baseball season pretty much ruined my DVR haha. So many shows to catch up on. Thankfully we are into hockey season where they don't play nearly as much.

Thank you for all the love. She with us still, barely, but still there. DH is going to put her down at 3 pm. I have spent the last 2 nights watching Disunplugged and Fresh Baked to distract my mind. The boys are taking it pretty well. DH is a complete mess. She was such a great cat.

And it sounds like you were/are a great family. Don't forget - the love and gratefulness goes both ways.

 

[superme80]

Good-bye sweetie.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

very sorry for your loss @superme80 - at least you know she is at peace now
