Birthday Madness
Ok so yesterday I attempted to make my own birthday cake. Baking the cake was a no brainer even if I did have to substitute butter for vegetable oil. Getting the cakes out of the pans and onto the wire racks was mildly successful so I put the crumbly one on the bottom. When they cooled and I proceeded to frost them I discovered that I'd grabbed the wrong packet of food dye for the frosting. So instead of blue and yellow I ended up with purple and pink decorated with blue and yellow icing. Had a little trouble with writing. The color went on easy but you're supposed to use the pen like a paint brush. I have trouble holding a paint brush like a paint brush. Also the proportion of the letters is sorta off but I guess for my first attempt it wasn't too bad.
Also I happened to pass by my Mother's room just as she was waking up and she beckoned me in and had me closed the door and starting muttering something about needing to get some wine. I told her that she should have told Dad that yesterday cause that's his shopping day. Still she insisted me needed to get wine for Dad's birthday. I then had to remind her that Dad's birthday isn't until September when it is in fact July and it's my birthday that is today not his. Why she wanted wine I'm still puzzled. I don't really like wine. I don't even like champagne that much unless it's mixed with orange juice. In fact for celebrations at home I'm really more likely to use sparkling cider. I guess I should just chalk it up to her just waking up but it's still discouraging when the woman who gave birth to you can't remember who's birthday it is.
