sunday

how on earth am i watching MT(freaking)V again??? how do i end up here everytime my TV turns on? i don't even know what number MTV is. the real world is on - i haven't watched the real world since they were in San Fran in like 1985. anyway, on THIS real world one girl has a PIERCED FINGER. a pierced finger???? how the hell do you do that??? how do you pierce a finger with a bone in the middle of it? i am very confused... and putting Split Ends back on (and hoping and praying it's not a repeat...)

i am still walking around in a saddened daze.... Billy Mays is dead? MY Billy Mays... as in the grater plater and kaboom Billy Mays...? it's just so not fair. i loved Pitchmen dearly and saved it each week to enjoy like a decadent slice of apple pie on un-diet day :( now i bet i will never get that grater plater for a decent price, i bet it will even be sold at a premium and VHTF (very hard to find in lame internet talk). i had so many inventions i wanted to take to him.... even if Billy Jr takes over (who i love dearly) it just won't be the same. RIP dear Billy... i will miss my children excitedly freeze-framing your infomercials and urging me to "come quick Mom!! you must see this - but he says you MUST call now and he will DOUBLE the offer!" perfectly replicating your tone and enthusiam. i hate to think very dark thoughts.... but why couldn't it have been Sully instead :( these are very dark days indeed.

yesterday's fancy tea was a success though it was VERY hard to keep walking around in sweltering 135 degree Pasadena after eating 7 plates of sandwiches and cream cakes. but we did it with grace and flair - see pictures ;)

must get back to the grindstone. i am working on ridiculously pointless hamburger cupcakes and i am about to lose my mind. people who like to cook pretty things must be total sadists. today has been a catalog of disasters - from burnt sugar cookie french fries to ketchup frosting that wouldn't turn blood red to little fast food basket templates that the printer chewed up everytime... today has NOT been a good day :|

RIP Billy Mays... i will miss your big booming voice so much :(

  1. 135 degrees, gosh! I thought our heatwave was bad enough and it's only 92!

    Love the strawberry man, good enough to eat! You are so inventive.

  2. What a wonderful relaxing (ha ha) tea. The strawberry man was definitely the best. And I love the pictures. Thank you for posting you! I love it!!!

    Rest in peace Billy Mays. I am so sorry for your loss Carol:(
