How about forgetting you were baking that chocolate cake, so when you wander downstairs to figure out why there is a timer going off, you get smacked in the nostrils by that heavenly baking chocolate aroma. AND the realization that you will be eating chocolate cake at some point in the not-too-distant future! Perfecto!
I'm making my bro-in-law's birthday cake. You're welcome, Craig. It is a delicious chocolate, almond, coconut extravaganza that I believe would win prizes. Exactly how much do you have to alter a recipe to claim it as your own? This one was published by a lady in a cookbook where everyone sent in recipes, you know, but I've made some alterations. It is Andy's favorite for his birthday. We call it Almond Joy cake, but I'm sure that breaks some sort of registered trademark law. All I know is that I get to eat it today. And tomorrow. And possibly the next day.
Also, I'm going to conduct the music for a baptism up at the church later today. This little darling girl in Primary came up and asked me last week, and I was so flattered. Baptisms are such fun, and so spiritual, and kids just rock. I keep freaking out and thinking that I'm late, but it isn't until 5. Staying awake all afternoon is difficult, P.S.
Finally, our ward Christmas party is this week, and I am in charge of a production of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. My sister Sarah spawned this thing 6 years ago for the ward Christmas party, and I helped her then. So naturally, I forced her to help me this time. We are actually doing it for both her ward's party and mine as well, so it's a twofer. It will be VERY fantastic, but it is intense and stressful up until Saturday night this week. So don't wonder if I don't contact any of you people - I'll be Grinching to the max. Also, I am not playing the Grinch. Typecasting is frowned upon. THANK YOU, Sarah, by the way! (She is not the Grinch, either. Didn't you see my comment on typecasting?)
There has been zero Christmas shopping or decorating thus far.
I am back on the Coke full throttle. It's bad, folks.
That's all. Good day. I SAID GOOD DAY! (That 70s Show reference).
