What a cake!

I just read the previous post and laughed out loud.

I'm truly not that bitter about it.

E's birthday was a few weeks back (geez, where in the hell is this year flying off to???) and I made him a birthday cake. He doesn't really eat sweets but he does love him a German Choc Cake. So I decided I'd make one from scratch.

WoW! What a cake! You can find the recipe I used here.

I hate German Chocolate Cake. I don't really like coconut and I think that they are way too sweet and weird. But I made this cake for him and his family and it is truly do die over. YUMMMY!!!! I had two pieces! It's not too sweet, it's got just the right amount of everything. And best of all E said it was in the top five cakes he's ever had (I think it should be in his best two but I'll give him some slack.) Even his mom raved and raved about it. Hell, my mom ate a quarter of it!! That was a damn good cake.



So, if you or your loved one wants a special German Choc Cake, make this one. The recipe may seem daunting, but really it's easy and if you like to bake it is fun to put together.

Where's our stimulus check?

It was supposed to be deposited on or around the eighth.

We waited and waited and still waited some more, and still no check.

If you are wondering where your stimulus check is, wonder no more; if you had any kind of fees come out of your refund, and even though you had automatic deposit, you get a PAPER CHECK. That will arrive a MONTH LATER!!! (Read the fine print on their website for all the gory details. Ass Hats!)

Thanks Gov't. I needed that.

E paid ALL the bills, even the $350 gas bill (natural gas is better and cheaper, right? Bullshit!) because he kept waiting on the Stimulus Check to come. Me?... Yeah, the Gov't has burned my ass so many times I don't trust them. I kept telling him to wait; Don't count your chicks and all that jazz, but he trusted them, until on Friday a co-worker/friend pointed all this out. He text'd me the 'bad news'. I laughed out loud and refrained from texting back either "Told ya" or "No Shit, Sherlock" or even "Duh" and just said "Oh, I figured it would be late, remeber I told you?"

Whatever, stupid government. You could give me a million dollars and I'd still think you are a dumbass. Too bad it's not a mean name but a true discription.

Friday

I usually make a long mental list of all the things I want to accomplish for the next day and the next day I barely make a dent. So for tomorrow I only have two things on my list:

~Paint. We got a huge play structure from E's boss and I want to sand it and put some paint on it. I've got a lot of the pieces sanded and now I just need to paint them. I've already started painting but it's seeming like it's taking me forever. So I'm going to try to bust some ass on it tomorrow. D is jonesing to slide ("Slide, Momma, slide on it" as he points to the sad, laying down slide) so I need to finish this up!

~Speaking of busting some ass I need to get a grip on this laundry. OMG! How fast can these clothes pile up?? I'm fine for a while, doing a few loads on a regular basis, then I slow down and they pile faster. Once the pile hits me up to my hip I tend to try to ignore it unless someone needs socks or pants. Then I reluctantly do a load and wait for the next request. But I need to just do it! Admittedly, it's the putting away area that I get stuck at. But not tomorrow, I will finish each step!!

OK, time for bed so I can be refreshed!
