theatokos*It's another amazing, gorgeous warm day here in Wales! Cloudless. I need a hat.
*Today is Bennett's second birthday party. Tomorrow is his actual second birthday. We're having a play date with snacks and the ugliest cake ever. God, I hope it's edible. I am not a baker and I was operating with less than ideal equipment. I really should have broken down and purchased some cake tins. I've become such a miser lately - and it never satisfies.
*In the continuing memage theme, today is 'a picture of something that makes you angry.' Well, I don't want to post a picture like that. Much of what makes me angry most often makes me sad too. But when I see pictures/hear clips of people like Rush Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck I shut down. Their vitriolic ignorance masquerading as journalistic commentary makes me so angry. I try to think that they're really more performance artists, yet they are presented as thinkers and people listen to them. I know there are plenty of left wing nut jobs too, but nothing like these guys. So yeah, no pictures of those losers.
*I will however post pictures of the party later today.

Date: 2010-05-23 11:45 am (UTC)I already have the title for "Worst Birthday Cake Ever".
Our son's birthday is in early January. In his early years there was always a gigantic snowstorm on that day.
For his third birthday there was the usual blizzard. I discovered all I had in the house was a banana cake mix and a can of chocolate frosting. (I was not yet a home baker) Son got so excited he jumped up and down in front of the stove. The cake fell. A flat, unappetizing banana cake with ugh frosting.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNETT!!!
