That is One Giant Cupcake

There is a picture of a giant cupcake on the cover of my magazine that I really want to make for July 4th. I was especially excited about it when I realized that you buy a cake form which does most of the hard work for you:

Then you end up with (theoretically) something like this!

I frost about as well as a first grader, so we will see how it turns out. If I can locate the cake form and actually get it made, AND it doesn't look ridiculous, then I will put another post up to brag about my giant cupcake.

Baby Tad

Imagine... you are in the middle of a nice, deep sleep when suddenly you are awakened to the very enthusiastic and child-like voice of Baby Tad: "HI, I'M BABY TAD! LET'S SING! HICKORY DICKORY DOCK...." You get the picture. It isn't pretty, and it has happened about four times in the past week. Just look at his face and you can imagine how he sounds.

I tried to remove Baby Tad, but he really does provide some good morning entertainment and keep Miss Katelynn from getting too grouchy while she waits for mommy to come get her. I am sure I will laugh one day about my midnight serenades. But right now Baby Tad is just givine me nightmares!

Email Forwards

My brother just sent me this one... it made me laugh out loud.

I hate it when people forward bogus warnings, and I have even done it myself a couple times unintentionally...but this one is real, and it's important.
So please send this warning to everyone on your e-mail list.

If someone comes to your front door saying they are checking for ticks due to the warm weather and asks you to take your clothes off and dance around with your arms up,

DO NOT DO IT!! THIS IS A SCAM!!

They only want to see you naked. I wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.
