  Well, the husband made his best cake ever today. He made the second best cake ever last Thursday night. Anyway, I have little to no power to "just say no" to said cakes so I suppose I'll have to add an extra workout to my schedule for the next 2 weeks or so. We took several pieces over to my parents earlier today. I told Mom that they could freeze half of the pieces and she said, "Honey, these aren't going to make it to the freezer". Enough said. My grandmother and favorite aunt were in town last week. They left yesterday.
We had a good time. My mom made an incredible dinner Friday night and we all ate until we were about to pop. There's nothing like a homecooked meal they say. I agree. I have about 4 meals I cook "at home". We kind of rotate them so we don't get tired of any one meal. My aunt bought me a really cool vegetarian cookbook so I'll see what I can do with some of the recipes. I'm kind of bummed. I opened the CVS ad this morning and was delighted to see that my favorite eyeshadow brand (Maybelline for those who care) was on sale - buy one get one free. Well, after the husband and I dropped off the cake and ate lunch at a groovy mexican restaurant we went to CVS. I eagerly made my way over to the makeup section only to realize that the buzzards (my definition for the people who get there before I do and buy all of the sale items) had already descended and swept up all of the good eyeshadow colors.
BUMMER! I managed to find one trio and an eyeliner so I guess all is well. Besides, there is a CVS in Brentwood that I can visit tomorrow. We saw Tom Cruise's movie "Collateral" yesterday. It was pretty good but I didn't think it was as good as the reviews indicated. Nothing can top "Napolean Dynamite". Ever. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD so I can buy it.
The shark movie "Open Water" opens this weekend. One of my dreams is to cage dive with some great white sharks. How cool would that be???? Anyway, I think I'm going to take a nap now. That's a nice thing to do on Sunday afternoons.
