Hello Kitty Cake

I have always loved to cook, but I really love to bake. Making more decorative cakes is something I have thought about for a while now and recently I have really been getting into it.  Today was my day off and I found myself with no plans, so I decided to try making and using marshmallow fondant for the first time.  I was just messing around, but I am very proud of how it turned out!

Random Stream of Consciousness

• Being a grown up sucks sometimes.
• Being a kid wasn't always a picnic, either, and I have to remember that when I deal with my daughter's trials and tribulations. No matter how trivial they seem to me as a grown up.
• I hate feeling used.  It makes me feel like becoming the kind of person I really don't want to be.
• Wedgie free underwear is a lie. A horrible, uncomfortable lie.
• My newest favorite scent is Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods.
• I haven't spend enough time with my girlfriends and hope to remedy that in the very near future.
• Chelsea Handler is hilarious.
• My ice maker has begun making weirdly hollow ice cubes. I know that is probably an indication that there is something wrong with it, but as a habitual ice chewer, I have secretly rejoiced in my new "soft" ice cubes.
• The new Facebook Timeline confuses the hell out of me, but I switched it over because I'd rather feel like it was my choice and not theirs.
• I hate having my picture taken.
• I have 30 pens in a cup on my desk and only use one. Just one.
• I love Vince Guaraldi.
• I have been into WalMart to buy Just Dance for the Wii three times and came out all three times without it because I got distracted and forgot.
• I signed up for Netflix and have yet to see a new movie appear in the list of new releases.
• I hate grocery shopping but somehow end up in the grocery store four times a week or more.
• I love my daughter's new haircut, but she won't let me play with it or style it for her.
• I prefer my water room temperature.
• I think that my brother and sister in law should have at least two more babies.  They make really cute kids.
• I miss my Dad and think about him all the time. Sometimes it makes me cry, but a lot of times I laugh.  
• One of my greatest fears is forgetting the sound of his voice, but I can't bring myself to watch home movies with him in them to remind me.
• The foreclosure next door to us is under contract. I want very badly to tell whoever it is that the house is a pile of moldy shit. Not only because it is the truth, but because I really like having the driveway to ourselves.
• It makes me sad that cursive writing is becoming nearly obsolete, but almost never use it and almost always print.
• I always swallow my gum. Sometimes unconsciously/unintentionally before I am ready. That irritates me because I wasn't done with that piece!
• It amuses me when people put all their dirty laundry out then complain that people are looking at their  drawers.
• Speaking of drawers, it also amuses me that my hubby sews the fly on his boxers closed himself. It is hilarious to see him sitting with my sewing kit, needle, and thread.
• I compulsively chew my cuticles and fingers, but never my nails. I wish I could stop, but have yet to find an effective deterrent.
• I think I'll to start blogging more often. The internet doesn't have quite enough crap yet.
