cake guilt and birthday
Here is my birthday cake, majestically befruited.
This cake is not the cake I ordered. This cake is bigger than the cake I ordered because they forgot to make my cake, a smaller version of this here cake. So they sold me the bigger cake for the price of the small one, begrudgingly, telling me I was getting a great deal of free cake. They lost $8 on this cake and I felt bad, driving off with my large birthday cake, like that $8 might put them out of business, or maybe the employee who was supposed to make my cake but didn't got in trouble or something. Birthday cakes are supposed to be happy, right?
This cake is happy. It is iced with the icing equivalent of crack. Yum! I usually hate icing, but this icing is the best.
Tonight Bob and I saw TMBG play at Stubb's. Fourteen-year-old Mo would have been flabbergasted if you had told her than 18 years hence, she'd be seeing TMBG for her birthday.
Berfday!
