Just got in from the land of orange groves and double wide trailers. It was good, actually! I went to get granny first, and I made her cry because I gave her a rotary cutter and self healing mat... she quilts by hand and she's lost her rotary cutter and never had a self healing mat. Her hands shake now and she has trouble cutting in a straight line with fabric scissors, so I thought that would help, and she was really touched... now I just have to get her that Bunn coffee maker she's been talking about. She had a bunch of quilt blocks spread out all over the sofa so she could show me what she has been working on. She's always so happy for me to see her work, and I am so shocked that she insists in quilting by hand at her age... she thinks machine quilting isn't really quilting. I strongly disagree! I brought my Dyson to vacuum for her since her vacuum is so awful. I took the hose off the Dyson to get under her couch where the upright part was too thick to reach and heard a SLURP. The incredible suction of the Dyson pulled in an entire quilt block! And, I was nowhere near it with the wand, I still don't know how it happened. It happened so fast, I didn't even see it, just heard it. I had to open the dust bin up and retrieve it.... I apologized, but she wasn't upset at all... we both got a really good laugh out of it. It didn't even get dusty! Once I realized it didn't bother her, I laughed so hard I cried, and so did she... it took me a while to gain enough composure to retrieve the quilt block from the cleaner. I sucked up enough bobby pins and straight pins to start a factory... not to mention thread a fabric scraps.... I could make a whole quilt with what's in the dust bin. I also brought my new tiffany style lamp to show her and she really liked it. She gave me a card that was really sweet, and apologized that she didn't have any money to buy me a real present... I told her that was silly and love was all I needed (I buy myself enough "stuff")... she said,"Well, that's good because you got plenty of that" (meaning love). It was really sweet. Then we went to my uncle's and the food was ready.. they smoked chicken, grilled chicken, and BBQd chicken. The also had a salad, and baked beans with sausage. It was all REALLY good! My aunt made me a cake (just want I needed!).... it was a boxed yellow cake with store bought icing. I didn't get any salad and they were wondering why... my grandma told them I was dieting and that I love salads (which I have never said because it isn't true), so after eating the other stuff, I had a plate of salad (had to pick the tomatoes out, at least they had ranch dressing). They gave me a card and more mylar balloons (what is up with mylar ballons) and pictures of me as a kid all dressed in halloween costumes and such (remember they were the ones that raised me from 6 to 19). There was another aunt there, another grandma (not the one I was close with... the one I brought was the one I was close with) and my little cousin that I was raised with (she's 19).... we talked a while and ate and then granny stood up, which his her signal that she was ready to go home. I was too at that point.... the aunt was getting annoying (she just doesn't know when to shut up and "picks" on everyone... except me, because I haven't been back in their life long enough yet) and their spoiled black lab was begging for food and trying to lick my face the whole time. So, I took granny home and we talked a while at her place... I looked at her sewing machine and fixed the tension and wrote down the model number so I can download an print a manual for it.... she wants one and it didn't come with one when she bought it. She had trouble letting me go, she didn't want me to leave... she's so bored/lonely living out there, so I promised I'd call and be back soon and started home. It was a good day. The aunt gave me a tupperware cake carrier (turquoise!) to take the cake home in and told me to keep it... it was my little cousin's, exes and he never came to get it after they broke up. That is great because I can keep that one and give Larry my gray and white sterilite one! Oh yeah, and I popped those mylar balloons (my "car scissors" are so handy!) and threw them in the trash at the gas station on the way home. I didn't need them bouncing around in the car during the 50 minute drive home, and they would have just been one more thing to carry home. I tried to find some child to give them to, but there weren't any! I hope they don't go to the gas station later for some chewing tobacco and see them in the garbage (there's only one gas station in that town!). I'm throwing aunt's cake in the trash too because I just don't have room for it. They sent me home with lots of food and I will enjoy it for a few days... I don't have room for 3 cakes, but I'll make room for the chicken and baked beans, even if I have to throw the milk and eggs out! So, yes, a good day, I'm surprised and happy :) Larry is on his way over to try some of the Publix chocolate cake and see his nephew (Jasper the cat) and watch some Lucy :0) I guess I'd better vacuum the cat hair off the sofa (he hates cat hair) and dig a place on the couch for him to sit.... oh yeah, and wash a dish so he can try the cake.... I've been lazy with the housework lately! Thanks again everyone.... by the way, Larry said that isn't the Paula Dean recipe, but one of several he found on Google for the coconut cake. Oh yeah, the Publix cake tastes as great as it looks.... under that dark brown chocolate top layer is a lighter brown layer of mousse like frosting.... man it's good!

Why thank you everyone :o) For those of you who are trying to push me ahead in the line, I am 24 NOT 25! Don't rush me... I know I'm over the hill already :o) I almost wish I could just fast forward to 97 (minus all the health problems) because I act (and drive) like an old lady anyway. I feel a little behind being 24 and not having graduated college yet. I cononsole myself with the fact that some people don't even go to college and that age happens to everyone! I am actually WORKING on my birthday (I usually do). After I get off tonight, my vegetarian boy toy is going to come up and spend the night with me. He wants to make me a cake and it had better not be out of TOFU. I'll scream! My gal pal Sheila surprised me at work today and brought me a gift bag of trinkets, chocolates, cards from all four nieces. And some new flatware... I'd been complaining for months that my dishwasher is ruining the cheap flatware that was given to me when I first got my apartment. I was going to buy some, but I HATE shopping for anything that you can't eat or plug in and turn on! Sheila picked out a simple design that is perfect for me. What a nice surprise. Later in the week when we both have off, she wants to take me to Moon Fish to have dinner. Just have to set the date. What a special girl! My ex got me a rear wheel bearing for my car (which he will also install). How romantic, any clue why we're exes??? :o) Thanks again everyone!

Hope you are having a great day, Bobby! Yep, September Seventeenth just rolls trippingly off the tongue! I used to be more organized than I am now, but I still think that my way is best and I'll probably tell you that - ha! But I am more mellow now in my dotage and I resign myself to things I can't change more easily than when I was younger. Here are some characteristics of Virgo: You Virgos have the uncanny sense to see what's wrong with a person, a situation or your environment. It's why Virgo makes such natural critics. Virgo practical analytical abilities are second to none. Your mental process may not be the most creative, but Virgo's razor-like thinking is highly effective. You separate the useful wheat from the unneeded chafe, the good from the bad. Virgo might be a "clean freak," but most Virgos have a messy closet somewhere or a disaster under their bed. The Virgo motto could be "Perfect is almost good enough." On one hand, this trait makes you very employable, for you're not likely to do shabby work. On the other hand, you can be so finicky that you put limitations on your interactions and experiences before they happen. You'll be happier if you can learn to be selectively less critical, both of others and yourself. All the best to all you Virgos! Teresa

Why thanks :o) I'm actually working 3 to 11 today... so "celebrating" was/is prior and post to today. On Monday, my best friend, Sheila took me out to Red Lobster. Haven't been there in several months (maybe a year), and they were doing the endless shrimp thing so that was fun. Tomorrow, Troy, the guy I'm dating is going to take me out to dinner. Not sure where we'll end up though. Hopefully Kobe Steakhouse... I've never tried one of those before! But he's peculiar... I'm not sure if he'd eat there and I'd feel guilty having a good time and him not even eating. The silly guy eats cereal, frozen pizzas and fast food for every meal... a far cry from the vegetarian I was with last year... I'm going to get some home cookin' down him one of these days, I swear!
My present to myself of course is a new used KA stand mixer. An Ultra Power for 50 bucks. One step up from the Classic that I had and ruined. It's basic white... dare I paint it red or black? Somebody stop me! I guess that's a much better present than ANOTHER vacuum cleaner! Miele indeed dear Jessy... didn't we instruct you to buy one of those things years ago?!
I guess I'm okay with turning 25 (like I have a choice)... but it does make me think... I haven't finished college yet or anything... I need to get on the ball!

No cake for me this year. I baked one several weeks ago (was the last thing I made in my old KA) and froze most of it for future "use". It was the recipe on the back of the Hershey's cocoa box. So, maybe I'll let a piece of that thaw and shove 25 tea lights on top. Well, I'd need more than a piece for that.

If Troy tells the server that it's my birthday (which will be a lie, cuz it's today anyway, but I don't think they check) and they all come out singing I may not ever post here again. I will either die or kill him. Don't think they have the internet in the grave or in Alcatraz!

The highlight of my day shall be to go and renew the lease for my apartment. I hope the excitement isn't overwhelming.

Thanks again, everyone :o)

Bobby, I'm sure you will make this special day SPECIAL in some way. But first things first with the renewal! You are at the age where it is good to look older than your age, which you do--a handsome and mature guy in my book.

A Very Happy Birthday Wish To Bobby!!! size=>color>size>color>color>color>color>color>Cathy

Thanks... you all sure know how to make a gal feel young.

My co-worker, Mary bought me a cake. I wasn't excpecting anything, so that was nice of her. She said it was her way for thanking me for the lemon bars, brownies, cheddar biscuits, and cookies... and for the carrot cake that I made for her birthday.

It was very chocolate and very rich. Called the chocolate avalanche cake from Publix.

Pics:

I was going to try to get an open shot, but I RUINED it when I cut the silly thing. I ruin any cake I ever try to cut. And that silly plastic thing they give with the cake to slice serves more to smash and squash than slice and serve... but it was very good and moist no matter what it looked like!

I also bought some Toblerone for myself after renewing the lease today... a friend gave me that for a birthday several years ago, so it's been a tradition ever since.

Thanks again... I REALLY enjoy this forum and the people here. One of the hightlights of my day is to log in here and see what's going on with everyone!
