Happy Birthday, Jeff! :)

Kyle and I (well, mostly me, because Kyle's sleeping right now) wanted to take a few moments and wish Jeff a HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the blog:

I know that this cake looks maybe a little girly, but it was the best I could do on short notice. ;P

Besides, doesn't the frosting look soooooooooo delicious? Look at all the colored roses! I love roses made out of frosting on cakes!!! When it's birthday time at the office, and whoever in charge of the party is cutting the cake, I always try to count how many roses there are on the cake, and estimate where the person's going to start cutting. Then, I position myself in the line so that I will be primed to get a piece of cake with a big fat frosting rose on it, preferably a side or an end piece. If the roses are in the middle, then I give other people "cuts" in line. People think I'm just being polite to let them get cake first, but really I have an ulterior motive! Some people may think that's cheesy, but I call it good planning! If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail...I say! I also cannot tell a lie! One time, at my office, I was alone in the kitchen just before the cakes were going to be cut. This was about three years ago. I skipped lunch before a deposition, and I got back the the office and I was super-hungry. The cakes and their frosting roses were calling out to me, like a siren song. I made sure that no one was looking, and I used a plastic knife to slice a frosting-rose off the cake and I ate it before anyone had a chance to cut it! Haha! I bet you didn't know that reading this blog was like True Confessions time. You got more than you bargained for!

This cake is so white and fluffy! I bet it would be like eating sweet fluffy clouds. I would love to have a piece of that cake with a big, delicious, 44-ounce frosty Diet Coke to wash the whole thing down with! Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Kyle's been on-and-off with his naps at school. He did great early in the week, but the last few days he hasn't taken a nap. This is what happens when we pull out of the school parking lot:



This evening's big activities include (1) finishing sorting the stuff that is going to D.I. tomorrow and loading that into my truck; (2) laundry; and (3) possibly going to the library to drop off the book I finished and picking up a new one. Pretty boring but it will be nice to kick back. I finally finished "White Jazz" by James Ellroy. The going was tough through the middle, but I'm so glad I finished it. The last 50 pages was intense! I love James Ellroy! White Jazz was pretty good, but I'm still certain that American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand were better.

Also, there's a chance that Utah bar results could be posted tomorrow morning. I will keep everyone posted!
