One of Those Weeks

It was one of those weeks that wouldn't end. Even amongst all that, there were some very cool moments. In no particular order, here were some of my favorites.

I loved meeting my friends fiance. (Which in my head is always a word that comes out in the voice of Holly Hunter from Raising Arizona...) It was a wonderful night of visiting and good food. I wish that I could take the city of Springville and all of the necessary stuff around it and plunk it down next to Layton.

Also a favorite would be the softball game on Monday night where I got to see my friends' girl pitch. Seej you have an arm on you! This was followed by some quality time on the new trampoline with my own niece and nephew. It's amazing how cool little kids think you are when you can bounce them on a trampoline.

Another good occurrence would be going to see Snow White and the Huntsman Wednesday night. Not because it was an awesome movie. But because I have finally found a movie where the Withering Stare gets a scene. And because the wicked witch is awesomely evil. Like ubber-creepy evil. Like the fruits of the devil. Evil. Also because I got to eat string cheese, strawberries, and popcorn for dinner.

Then last night I decorated a cake! It was a lot of work but I liked how it turned out.

First I had to practice. I wasn't sure what kind of scrolls I wanted to use to cover the cake. I ended up with this. I kind of like it!


Here is how the cake started. A blank canvas.


With dirty dishes surrounding it. That is just what happens when I decorate cakes. The kitchen kind of looks like a cake explosion of crumbs and frosting.


I looked it up and the technical term for this technique is "putting scrolly things on the cake." That is what happened here. Here is a close up.


Then the ribbon went on.


The end.
