i didn't get any easter eggs, except the four pack of cadbury caramel creme eggs i bought for myself last night, and mostly demolished whilst drunk.

Okay roffle at the crazy cousin financial hilarities above.

OVERTIME

i got like 2 hours of sleep which should be plenty since I think I slept about 10 yesterday

Tom, can you get a nap later?!

xpost yes, all eggs/candy/Easter stuff SET

Happy Easter all!

I might get a nap later but since I have to pull another long day tomorrow (mandatory privacy training for everybody tomorrow morning, NB this was on our calendar well before the state department fiasco) I might just push on through tonight so I can make sure to be well and good tired by like 10-11pm

That is probably the best way to prevent insomnia (as far as that is preventable); it is just so unpleasant in the interim...

meow

Remy's been possessed.

Oh no!

Hopefully not by the spirit if a volatile cat.

leaving for HSTNGS bump

NEVER A GOOD DECISION

It's good for me. (Because then I am entertained by you all.)

ugh there's only so much Baldur's Gate you can play before you want to just start drinking heavily

Well get to it then.

Still in HSTNGS. I'm not sure where John *thinks* I should have gone today, but since I got a turkey dinner out of it, I'm not going to complain. Also, my 88 year old grandma is awesome.

Yay for grannies!

DID YOU DO A WEE IN HER FLANGE

remy... ????

xpost Yes, grandmothers >>>>> mothers. (I say this fully aware that I am one and not the other, mind).

Now we're at home and going to put the kids to bed and then sit around and watch movies or something. Totally anticlimactic! This kind of holiday always leaves me feeling kind of at a loss at the end of it.

sorry, i had to spend an entire day keeping myself in check around family. i will aim to be better behaved

itr appreciates bad behaviour.

Remy merely puts in a wonderful link to a glorious past. Kinda.

it puts the lotion on the skin

I am happy to be befuddled by you all.

One hour bored bump

just got off the phone with my sister after an hour planning her nuptial ceremony ... and good lordy do the catering/reception places hose you down for $$$ -- $100/head, for a three-course meal of chicken breast/ribeye/scallops?

hah when my sis got married they gave two choices only to keep things cheaper: chicken or vegetarian (a polenta dish). both were fantastic. simple is good :)

i think she is looking at a reception here, but with my dad officiating the ceremony here, and with yours truly taking care of the cake.

Are you baking a wedding cake for your sister, remy? That is so cool!

(A. made wedding cheesecakes for his sisters' wedding, which was cool but also not remotely decorative in that way that wedding cakes usually are)

this is the practice cake

pretty!!!!!

And what did you do with the practice cake?

beautiful, remy!

remy, do you think you could make a cake like this:

omg your practice cake was gorgeous, remy!

Rubyredd - that is SUPER cute.

i could make a cake like that, rubyredd, woodringy and all, but i really abhor fondant. i am currently experimenting with moldable white chocolate for draping, but it is difficult stuff and v. temperature sensitive.

mas aqui sobre torta

I love the way fondant looks, but have never tried it - BUT everyone always says it is not enjoyable. But I just want the chance to TRY IT.

My cousin had a tiny fondant-covered cake for her wedding last summer, but the cake they served was sheet cake with a totally different icing. I don't know if it was a cost thing or what, but I was a bit disappointed.

btw, my wedding cake was frosted with white frosting but it was a chocolate cake. Worked fine.

white chocolate always seems too sweet to me.

fondant is nasty foul stuff with an alarming kinship to fetal drywall.

Whoa... ugh. Maybe I don't want to try it.

no, you really don't

is fondant like marzipan?

I really did enjoy reading through that, though. LOL about the cake stand that was a lazy susan and two copies of The Canterbury Tales...

marzipan is unbelievably awesome.
