I did it! I did it! I realize most of you do it all the time. Nah... you probably use a box. I made a cake from scratch and the frosting too! And Papa loved it!

| I know it isn't as clean as top chef wants them to be, but I am proud! |
This is a big deal for me because I hate to cook. I always mess up or make a huge mess. Yesterday when I was putting in the ingredients I scooped the sugar out of the canister. Went to put the salt in the cake and accidentally poured it into the open sugar canister! Then I tried frantically to scoop it out. That was tough! I knew I would have to blog about it! lol! I know you can all picture me doing something like that!
I don't like baking. But I LOVE cooking shows! I love "Worst Chef's" "Top Chef" "Hell's Kitchen" "Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives" any thing with cooking. I guess what inspired me to do it was watching Julie and Julia. I didn't think I would like it and I had no interest in seeing it because Julia has the most annoying voice.... but I did. Posted a clips from it on the other post.
I love Amy Adams! I went to the blog of the real Julie... didn't like the f-bomb she uses all the time so I won't be following. I'd like to think of her cute and feisty like Amy Adams!
Any way.... yesterday I didn't get cleaning done... only a smidget. But I watched this movie, made potato salad, baked chicken and a cake! So there. And I loved my day! I was so happy all day!
Today I am going to pick up Lois and mom and take them to their doctor appts and who knows what else we'll do! I am sure we will find something.
Today is my favorite cousin's birthday! I've always loved and worshiped this guy since I was a little girl! I still do! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!!!!!

| It seems like every time we see each other (which isn't as often as it should be) we always get a picture taken together!!! |
 |
| This was one of the greatest days ever! I got to sit between Bob and my dad! I don't know how I managed it... but it was pretty cool!!! |
