it was a love/hate kinda day here at chez knittah.
i love to shop, but i hate that it takes all day. i still need so many little things for the house, but trying to navigate an over-filled cart (a folding chair takes up a LOT of room. who knew?) around the browsers at homegoods was not my idea of a good time. midway through my last stop, target (aka the mothership), i just wanted to go home. or did i? home means i have to put all this crap AWAY. oy.
but, as always, i put on my big girl “gidderdone” panties, and did it. i told myself i’d knit while watching my ina, then i’d start baking that cake. thanks for the cake pans, homegoods. i needed them.
i began putting the first ingredients in the food processor when the doorbell rang. it was a very sweet guy from com ed who was very, very sorry to bother me, but they had orders to upgrade our ampage, or somethinglikethat. sounded good to me, except for the part where i would be without power for 30 minutes or so.
did i mention it was just getting dark? yeah. it was.
to make a long story…um…less long, i finished the cake about 7:15 tonight. i’d started it at 4:30.
and you know that trick about putting a little waxed or parchment paper on the cake plate, then pulling it out after frosting. yeah. right. in what universe does THAT work?
peace out.
