Sugar Sugar

For Clara Jane's second birthday, we're going to get her some diabetes. Here's a list of the nummies that are currently in my usually junk-free kitchen:


  • half a loaf of Hannah Banana Bread Company's Valentine's Day fudge-covered besprinkled banana bread.
  • leftover Valentine's Day cookies from Clara Jane's daycare party.
  • sugar-covered gummy hearts.
  • half a batch of banana muffins, made by B. to spite the Hannah's Banana Bread.
  • a full batch of cherry muffins for daycare tomorrow, which haven't actually been made; let's just say they're in the rough draft phase.
  • truffles from Wendy.
  • a slice of hummingbird cake from Angela; who would have thought that zippy little fowl could be so tasty and sweet?
  • a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate icing and chocolate marshmallow ice cream because of the birthday.

As I was slicing the hump off the top of the birthday cake prior to frosting, I thought, "Hm. It seems such a shame to throw away these little cake remnants. I should put them into a baggie for snacking." And then I collapsed in a heap on the floor from insulin shock.

I'm expecting a terse letter from my pancreas, just as soon as she stops convulsing.

All you need is a visit from the Gooey Butter Cake fairy!

If the letter from your pancreas is anything like the one from your liver, you better start coming up with apologies to spout out after each point of contention. Brace yourself.

I thought that perhaps I ahd gone over the top with two cakes for Bean's first birthday, but... well, lets just say that you have made me feel MUCH better...

BTW, I don't have to give my cat xanax... that picture is what 3 years of living with two very large dogs will do to a cat. A bathub and toddler give him better odds. (thanks for the flickr comment...)

Diabetes, the gift that keeps on giving. Same as herpes, I suppose.

Mmmm. Disease.

The rough draft stage - I'm going to have to steal that phrase.
