Wow I'm really terrible at updating this thing. But that's alright, because, as I have made clear from my last better-late-than-never post, June is essentially a series of parties interrupted periodically by work. And what sort of party involves a cake turntable, martini shaker, fancy necklace, ball-peen hammer and eleven-pound anvil? The best kind of party (that would be mine).
In my household, we try to make birthday gifts useful and personalized. The cake turntable says "I see you've been trapped in the bakery business for so long you have developed Stockholm Syndrome and want nothing more than to decorate cake in your spare time as well" (true fact. I requested this item specifically, so if anyone wants a cake with a really smooth finish you know who to call). The fancy necklace says "I see you are a classy lady". The cocktail shaker says "I see you are a classy lady who knows what vermouth is", and the anvil says "I see you are a classy lady who needs to smash things".
And it's only Tuesday. Just wait and see what it will be like by Saturday, when I have actually unwrapped and used all these gifts. Okay, so I might be sitting here draped in necklaces with a martini glass in each hand, deciding whether to spin or smash the rest of my birthday cake. But again, it's only Tuesday.
Happy birthday to me!
