frost yourselves

i am taking a cake decorating class for the month of may.

domesticity, here i come!

tonight we learned how to frost a cake. apparently, i have lived these near 22 years without properly frosting. also apparently, it is not as simple and likity-split-quick as darling lindsey makes it look.

after several re-starts and a small hassle with some crumbs, i created this baby:

"the HD" {home depot} + hammer and lightbulb

so it's not martha stewart and my little shelly-do-dad-border is less than perfect, but i was happy to have created something out of sugar. why the home depot theme? i had this brilliant idea to decorate it for work-- brilliant because then i won't eat it all by myself and gain some serious love handles on the brink of swim-suit season. speaking of which, i would have killed to go swimming today! man was it a beauty outside.

and now, without further ado, i'm gonna go snuggle up with my memory foam pillow. 

because 5 a.m. is far too early for any rational human being to rise, and that is precisely what i did this morning. crazy pants.
