even though your birthday was friday. we’re celebrating tomorrow night, though, and i’m making mexican food. i decided i don’t have quite enough to occupy my time, so i’d do some cooking.
Kynda has also been busy, thinking all things flowers for the wedding. here’s a lovely photos she sent me today, just something she was practicing:
beautiful, huh?
today i FINALLY FINISHED THE BOTTLES. i sprayed the glaze on them and they’re now COMPLETELY done. here they are. the two bright pink ones on the right side are the original ones i patterned all the others after.
i’m glad i’m done with them. i can’t believe how long they took. thank god i had mom help me finally, because i’d still be painting all by myself.
that wasn’t the major part of the day today, though. that would be CAKE BAKING. here’s my with some of my perfect cakes. these are all the carrot cake layers, which i finished today.
i was pleased with how they turned out. see the flower in my hair? that’s my making-wedding-cake flower. i decided i needed to wear something festive while spending the day baking. then i had to go to the grocery store and kept the flower in my hair and i probably looked like a young bag lady. bag lady in training. i was also wearing my horton hears a who orange and black shorts. quite a fashion statement.
i got stuff at the store for making dinner tomorrow night, and i came home and made some mexican soup. it’s going to be delicious. but i do have to say i’m a little tired of cooking right now and it’s nice to just sit here typing. my computer continues to function at the moment, but it could go at any time.
my friend kelly called tonight and she’s making her plane reservation. i’m concerned about her flying into st. louis because even though she lives in a big city (D.C.) and has lived in other big cities (including LA and Denver), she’s not so good with directions while driving. but maybe because she HAS to find the right road, she will. i told her she needs to see the lincoln museum while she’s here and she said her daughter’s favorite president is Lincoln. last year when she was in kindergarten, they didn’t want kids to spell their names because they’d do it wrong (is this logical?), so intead everybody got a number. katie was number 16, and lincoln was the 16th president. i wonder if that’s why she likes lincoln the best. i also wanted to know if they called the kids “hey, 24,” or they actually remembered their names.
i have to stop typing now so i can do something even less energetic, like watching another episode of “reno 911,” except if i start i’m afraid i’ll stay up really really late watching it because i’m kind of addicted.
that is all for the moment,
sunday grace.
