In Like a Lion...

Out like a... lion. It's sleety and cold out! Eric's high school had to cancel their senior prom last night due to this huge storm, which is now entering the 'burgh. Brrr.

We had a fun dinner get-together last night. I made a burfday cake out of Funfetti cake, chocolate cake batter ice cream from Cold Stone, homemade chocolate buttercream frosting, and sprinkles (yes, that is an actual flavor of Cold Stone ice cream. And yes, it was an intensely caketastic cake). Why the cake? Because the end of March means Eric's birthday!! Yay!! Plus the end of March marks birthday season bc like, anybody who is anybody was born in late March or April. Fo' shizzle!

Tonight we started a loaf o' bread in Eric's new bread machine, which was my totally domestic and practical gift to him this year. And for Eric's birthday I also bought myself a new camera, hee! It's like when kids get presents on their siblings' birthdays. Except I'm not a kid, nor am I a sibling, and I bought the gift for myself. But who cares? My camera broke and needed replacin' (see picture with explanation in "Photo Parade", to the right--there's a bear in the picture!). Without a functional camera, who is going to take pictures of all the bread Eric's going to make, and also of the tulips that are sitting in a vase on the dining room table?

I heart flowers, even though I sorta don't. Also, I'm hungry. I'm always hungry. Anyway, I'm rambling now.

Happy birthday season!
