Teenagers, Cough Syrup, and Birthday Cake...

Yesterday I was rear ended. (yes in our brand new car!)We were in Portland in semi-slow traffic, and were stopped to make a left hand turn (of course following all vehicular protocol). I was hit by a teenager (in the car with her 3 best friends).

Luckily the whole situation was minor (but a definite headache). They are insured with the same company as we are, so that knocked out a lot of paperwork.I have an appointment in Portland at 8 am (oye can you already imagine the traffic) with a claims adjuster, and then she is going to the shop to get fixed up.

The picture is blurry(cell phone) but the bumper is cracked and that's the only damage.

Speaking of irritating:

On top of all that crap I have constant allergies and am getting over dehydration, and have caught a wicked cough. So don't call me because I will either sound like I'm going through "the change" or I will hack at you.

Fortunately I have an angel of a doctor who has prescribed me with lots of lidocain *also for my 3 months of sore throat.

My birthday is just around the corner, and like always I am dreaming of my birthday cake. Normally people don't enjoy making their own birthday cakes, but I love it. This year's proposed theme?



The picture below is more wedding-ish then I would go with it (I'm thinking more funky), but you get the picture.

I did 2 desserts for Stephanie's birthday and I found the other finally. Essentially the same, but a few different touches (also ignore that its still in the mold and foil... it had to travel to Seattle in 90 degree weather).



The white flowers are hand made gum paste flowers.



Tomorrow is Friday!
