It's been a long time...
Yes my sugary sweet dears, I'm fully aware that you've considered ending it all since I stopped posting. Well, now I'm back. I can't promise you everyday sniggles as the new day job frowns upon frivolous acts such as blogging, but I can promise you that when I do post it will be insightful.
And you're lucky...today I have a lot to share.
As far as cake decorating goes, my fledgling career is so dunzo. Yes, I'm 28 and yes I watch Laguna Beach. It's my perogrative. Anywho, while I do love decorating and delighting the world with my talent it became simply too taxing. So I've had to step away for a bit and re-evaluate my cake priorities. (MY DEAR SWEET DIVA MBM, I FEEL YOUR CAKE PAIN). (BTW, I lost your digits..get in touch with a sistah! OKAY! ) But don't worry, I did happen to do a really great bridal shower cake in August for a friend and a birthday cake for an aunt. Sorry, no pictorials to share.
This weekend, if time permits, which I hardly doubt...I may create a cute little cake for my favorite Aunt Snoozie. Then I have to make a Halloween/fall type cake for Cruella...I mean my mother.
In other news, I had the pleasure of visiting Hotlanta this summer where I ran into the always funny D.L. Hughley in my hotel. Yes, I had my trusty camera and yes I accosted him...but I don't believe that picture is appropriate for public consumption. So it will not be posted to this blog. What else, oh yes...I visited the World of Coke and it was fun. In fact, my ATM visited it twice. We also took in a Braves game and visited with a childhood friend of ATM, AM who lives in Kennessaw and now wants out to move there. She has no idea what type of shennigans I'd be bringing to the dirty, dirty.
Now let's talk about things that are good for the soul...my personal favorite, food.
While in Atlanta I visited with my Uncle Jim and Aunt Maria who are the two most loveliest people, they too want me and the ATM to come back...truly, they have no idea what they're getting into. Anyway, my lovely aunt and uncle were thrilled to come in from Jonesboro and escort me around Atlanta. They wanted to take me and ATM to dinner and I was game...Aunt Maria was like I know the most darling place and I was like what about the VARSITY...the GA TECH institution for burgers and onion rings. I should've known when Aunt Maria and Uncle Jim gave me the eye, I should've headed on over to that darling place Aunt Maria raved about and have a big glass of Sweet Tea and call it a day. But no, I had to go to the Varsity.
I'm not even going to tell you my thoughts on the Varsity, I'm just going to post a picture.
SEE THE PICTURE ABOVE
If the picture gives you no inclination, let's just say no amount of Pepto prevented the inevitable. My husband holding my hair as I prayed to the porcelain goddess for my sins of baskets of grease. That's all I'm sayin...it's unfortunate I live in the northeast and no nothing about flavor or the beauty of vats of grease.
Now something for the mind, enrich it...while I was in Atlanta, I had the pleasure of meeting the amazing and beautiful, Nadine Dajani. http://newbienovelist.blogspot.com Go on over and give her a holler...let her know that Sweet Honey Child sent you.
She has a book coming out in 2007 called Fashionably Late and it's absolutely amazing. I highly suggest you pre-order it from Amazon as soon as you can and prepare to enjoy. I'm serious. Nadine is the sweetest doll in the world and I'm so excited for her. I can't wait to see her name in lights...I wonder how she'd feel about seeing her name in icing...
Until then my sweet darlings, you stay sweet. Mama sends her love!!!
