Re: Confessions of a 20-something mother
I feel kind of lost on pweb right now. Like I want to post, but I'm so out of touch, it's hard.

Re: Yes, I know Google is my friend, but I'd rather ask you.
This might be a bit random, but what is UP with those dark blue Christmas lights? They're like... anti-lights. I can sort of see why it's not worth the effort to replace them in a string of multi-coloured lights, but some people buy whole strings of just the dark blue! I don't get it, and I don't ev...

Re: Guilty Pleasures and Irrational Irritations
This is really petty, but it's bugging me. The Garfield comic for June 29, 1987 has Garfield lamenting that it's the "longest Monday". Jim Davis, why could you not have run that strip a week earlier, for the solstice?! The Monday previous was, in fact, THE LONGEST MONDAY OF THE YEAR. :bash:

If it tastes like grass, you might just not like green tea. Except then I'd ask you to let me brew you a cup of jasmine green tea, which is ever so lightly floral and might appeal. But if you didn't like it, again, okay, you just don't like it and that's cool. ;) I do try not to be a pushy pain in t...

Re: The Smells in My Kitchen
Thanks again, guys. :) It took a couple hours but it could have gone worse. Getting the colour gradient on the icing was the most time-consuming bit - the red I had was super strong, and the green was weaksauce (his belly was as dark as I ever managed to get it), so it took a lot of trial and error....

Thanks, guys. It was a great little party and it felt good to thank everyone who's helped us out in the past year. Everyone loved the cake, too.

Re: The Smells in My Kitchen
Well, I was convinced SOMEthing was going to go wrong, but I didn't smudge it or drop it or give anyone food poisoning (that I know of). It turned out almost exactly how I wanted it, and if I'd do the edges differently next time, no one else seemed to notice or care. http://img.photobucket.com/album...
