Last Saturday my friend, Melissa and I went to go see Twilight. I had read all the books in the series but she had not. The books were so great, I was anticipating watching the movie and let me tell you, it lived up to all the hype! It was a wonderful movie. It was such a great movie, I wanted to see it again so I talked my husband into seeing it last night. Initially he had wanted to go see it because he is very into the supernatural/sci-fi type genre but after speaking to a coworker (yes it was another man) he had decided it probably wasn't for him. After just a little eye batting and whining, he agreed and we went. We went to the 7:20 showing on a Saturday night, which we never do. It was crowded and to make things worse, it was crowded with alot of teens. Of course there were many couples there too because it is a great date kind of movie but he hates seeing movies when its crowded period and the teens made it that much worse. He made it clear to me that he loved me very, VERY much to be subjected to this kind of movie experience. So we sat through the movie and every so often, I would look at him to gauge his reaction. He is very hard to read sometimes so I couldn't tell if he was enjoying it or not. Of course I was loving every minute of it, again. So the movie ends and we walk out to the truck and I ask him what he thought of it. His exact words were "I am hooked!" I was so excited to hear that! You can bet once that movie comes out on DVD it will be in my player ALOT! Rob Pattison is to die for in that role!

Dora Cake
Sunday, November 23, 2008
Today was Becky's retirement party at Farelli's. She has worked 30 years at the post office and Wednesday will be her last day. There were so many people there for her. I hope that many people show up for my retirement party in 30 years. Here's a couple pictures of the cake I made for her. The mailbox was a bit iffy but they seemed to like it. Everything in the photo is edible except the post and the stems for the flowers. The letter below is made from gumpaste and used edible ink.

More cakes
Today I made two cakes. One was donated to Helping Hand House for a 7 year old girl and one was purchased by my supervisor for her twin 15 year olds. She has a boy and a girl. I sort of forgot that I had the one for the HHH. Actually, I thought it was due on the 21st. At any rate, I was able to get both done and delivered on time!

The sound of my voice
The other day I was stopped while driving in my postal vehicle by someone searching for an address. I wasn't at all surprised by this as I am stopped ALL the time by lost souls searching for their destinations. After all, I do work for the post office, so I must know where everything in the world is located. Truly though, it doesn't bother me at all helping someone out. The only thing that was different this day was that as I was giving this gentleman directions I thought to myself how much I liked the sound of my own voice. I found myself explaining more than I needed just so I could listen to myself talk. How weird is that. I know alot of people that do not like their own voice, well that's not me. So as I drove off I'm thinking to myself how much I do talk. I'm a talker and a listener apparently, of myself. hehe Any chance I get I'm usually talking. Toby Keith has a song called I Wanna Talk About Me and that is me to a TEE! I wanna talk about me AND listen to myself as I talk...that is me!!!!!

Football and Castles
Today I made cakes for two very different things. My brother-in-law asked me to make a cake for his dessert auction to raise money for his football team. They gathered cakes and desserts to auction so I just made a black and white cake. It was one layer chocolate and another white decorated with white and chocolate frosting. I tried to fancy it up and I guess it worked. It sold for $65.00, the second highest cake sold! Of course, I had to ask cause I'm so competitive! At any rate, it went to a good cause and hopefully the people enjoyed it.
The other cake I made today was for a three year old little girl so I made a pink castle cake. It turned out pretty well.
