That's right, it was my birthday two days ago. My mother got me the most delicious cake possible. Chocolate cake with bananas and cream cheese icing, all topped with ganache and fancy lettering. She also announced that she got me a gazelle (yes one of those horrible work out machines sold on the teevee) as a birthday present, but it has not come yet. Cake and work out machinery... oh mom.
I've had enough cake in the last few days. Tara, Whitney, and I baked six cakes on Tuesday. That's right six. Six boxes of cake mix, six pans, sick minds. Most people have seen the rainbow cake instructions that have been floating around the internet. I decided that was what I wanted to make. Three cakes were made with just coloring, and three cakes were made with coloring AND gelatin. Both kinds of cake were decidedly amazing. The gelatin cake did not have a cake-like consistency upon baking, but still was like eating gummy fruity pebbles. Mmm.
It was a hit at my Star Wars role playing group Thursday night. I supplied two cakes and a backpack full of hard liquor... both went over well. All-in-all, a very good birthday.
Hopefully my 24th year on the planet will be an eventful one. I'm going to be cliche and make a list of the things I accomplished in my 23rd year:
- Graduated
- Quit my job
- Saw Andrew Bird and Tim and Eric
- Said goodbye to my grandpa
- Moved (twice)
- Got my ears pierced
- Went on a diet (successfully)
- Stopped playing WoW (and haven't picked it back up)
- Started grad school
- Broke up with Adam
- Went to a dance club (verdict: awful)
- Visited the power-spot
- Helped redecorate two rooms at my parents house
- ... can't think of any more right now
