Good bye 28

Tomorrow is my 29th birthday. I am having mixed feelings about this birthday. On one hand, it is just another day and I think to freak out about it would be silly. But on the other hand it brings me one step closer to "30". It doesn't seem that long ago that I thought that 30 was ancient. Boy, was I wrong. I also have mixed feelings every year when my birthday rolls around. My sister and I always celebrated our birthdays together. She would be turning 22 this year if she were still with us. So, sometimes I think I would like to just forget about my birthday all together. Not to dishonor her memory or anything.....it just is hard sometimes to celebrate when all I can think about is how she should still be here and she's not. And that really stinks!!! Happy birthday lil' sis!

After admiring Mrs. Sofa's beautiful confectionary masterpieces, I decided to try my hand at cake decorating. She gave me the recipe for the fondant and icing. And while the cake tasted good, it was not exactly what I had imagined in my mind. I was going for a spring flower on the top and it came off looking like a limp poinsetta. LOL!! So, practice, practice, practice. However, I am wondering about this new hobby because it seems that I have been eating my homework quite often. If I keep this up, I might end up having to find a friend named "Jenny" to help me recover from my practicing. I wish I enjoyed things like running, exercising, etc. That would be a beneficial hobby. Anyway, I will keep on trying and hope to find homes for my practice cakes. That way I won't eat the entire thing. hahahaha!!!

By the way, Mrs. Sofa, we had a wonderful time yesterday!!! The boys are already asking to see you guys again. So we will need to get together soon. PS. I hope you cake turned out great!!!! And for all of you other bloggers out there, check out her site SofaBulous Sweets. And make sure you use her for your next function, party, etc. She makes tasty cakes that are works of art.

That is it for now. Have a wonderful weekend!!
