Oh my, what a difference a day can make!

Good bye food blogs, cake blogs and all my other time wasters. Things are definitely getting complicated.

ring, ring......ring?

What is worse than sitting around waiting for the phone to ring? Sitting around waiting and it NEVER rings! OK, not never, but not nearly often enough. Such is my day today. And yesterday. I get my daily doses of tiny bits of work to do, passed on by my sweet co-worker but it's not nearly enough to keep my mind occupied. The last two days I've spent reading the blog of Julie. Of Julie and Julia fame. I've gotten through three months of her blogging and I'm thinking it's best taken in smallish doses. Anyone know any good websites I can visit? (I say to myself and Al : ).

Don't get me wrong, there are things I could be doing. Things I SHOULD be doing. Organizing and preparing the wad of cake related receipts in the center pocket of my purse so that I can file my tax return. But THEN what would I have to look forward to?? I have a lame-o book I'm 1/3 of the way through. P.O.s and paperwork. What loverly choices.

I do have to say that reading the food blogging has me thinking that maybe I feel inspired to cook up something different and delicious tonight. or not.

Took on a cake project today for next month that I'm hoping won't bite me in the ass. It's a 3D building. I've done some 3D cakes before, even a building - and it was on a much bigger scale, but this one worries me. The building I did before was a QuikTrip store. This is another QT building but it hasn't even been built. All I have to go by are the architectural drawings, yikes! On the store I had pictures, architectural plans with dimensions and detailed drawings of all the signs that I was able to scale down and reduce on the ol' printer. I could go actually look at the store for any details that I wasn't sure about. Not gonna happen on this one! To make for an even more nerve wracking experience this cake is for the dude who designed the building and his QT cohorts. Cake buildings aren't like your normal cake. No rounded edges, no flowers to cover any possible mistakes. Only clean cut edges and crisp details. Double yikes! Send me some positive vibes people!

More cake envy...

Once again, NOT MY CAKE but I love this one! I figure even if I'm not caking, I'm still going to share. I haven't played Wind Waker, but this cake makes me wanna. Love the details, love the chicken, well - there's not much about this that I don't love. Curious whether the figures are sugar or plastic. Either way...awesome!

This is NOT my cake, although I wish I could say it is! Found this gem on on of my fav sites: www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com

Oh wow, nearly three months since my last blog post. So much for motivation! I should have made it a New Years resolution to at least blog weekly. Guess I couldn't bear to add to my list of things I most likely won't follow through with.

Yesterday my family went to see Avatar. It's true, the visual effects were stunning and mind boggling. It's also true that the story line was weak. I saw no point to making Grace's character smoke. More portrayal of the ugly Americans. I did feel the conflict though...what would you choose? To be an independent thinker? To follow the pack? To be the ultimate traitor? I don't have any answers, only questions. I can't help but wonder if Jake would have still made the same choice if he hadn't had the knowledge that it was possible for him to be whole again. Take that out of the equation and I think he might have made a different choice. So did he make his choice based on morality or selfishness? I can't help but think it was for self. I did love all the neon hyper glow stuff though! Maybe I do wanna be blue...
