wednesday

everytime i attempt to bake a cake i screw it up. today is no different to any other day. i made this particular cake - my finest creation, my most wonderful tres leches cake - because i had some leftover heavy whipping cream from last week's baking extravaganza. why not put it to good use, i thought, and bake the only other cake i can think of that requires cream. i had to buy condensed milk. and evaporated milk. and more eggs. and strawberries. all to utilize the cream. i came to make the cake and discovered i didn't have enough cream and had send the troops on a mercy dash (thanks Aaron:) for more. seriously, baking sucks!

that Countess woman on Real Housewives drives me crazy. from the very first scene on the show when she says she never feels guilty about being privileged i despair of her... she doesn't feel guilty for treating her housekeeper like a slave? or when she walks past a homeless person in the street? or when she sees a teenager in army fatigues at the airport flying to Iraq?? maybe i just feel really really guilty all the time..... and i am certainly not privileged enough to be married to a pompous old fart ;)

today's Martha Stewart was about felt :| now i love Martha AND i love felt as much as the next woman... but oh my god, it was pure agony to watch. they showed this clip of some woman (which for some reason i couldn't tear myself away from) at the Cooper Hewitt museum making a big pointless tent out of layers of combed felt that she sprayed with hot water and then added a little soap and then rubbed it in then rolled it all up and squeezed the water out, and then she repeated this agonizing process TWELVE times... and all the while i kept thinking, yes but i bet it's going to look SO COOL though in the end. but it didn't :| harumph

Romeo was a VERY bad dog today. Sam and i spent foreverrrrr planting rows of herbs and vegetables in our little garden patch and then put a big 'no dogs allowed' tall fence around it - fastened on either end to keep dogs out that can't read. we went to the front yard to plant flowers for TWO MINUTES and came back to plant the rest with the veggies. Romeo was already sitting inside the fence digging up the frickin vegetables...

it has been on my mind ALL DAY LONG. but i thought it was too depraved to search for. in the end curiosity got the better of me and i HAD to. but a lot of other 'normal' people wonder about it too!! this Q&A is hilarious (but doesn't really give any real info.....)

back after real housewives.... can't possibly watch and blog :)
