GRRRRRRRRR

So the cake thing didn’t work out. Spoke to a few bakeries yesterday, some said NO WAY and the ones that did say they could do it wanted like $400! I was like for a 1/4 sheet size NO WAY. I mean I said it doesn’t have to be as detailed as the picture in my previous entry from yesterday, it could look cartoonish and they still wanted a crazy amount of money. PFT yeah do I look like a millionaire?

SOOO guess who’s gonna make hubby’s cake for his bday? YOU GOT IT- ME. :(

I’m gonna try my best- bought a nascar blank car cake mold and am just gonna make it as best as I can… I know my hubby’s car is shaped differently but the plan is to lay on the frosting thick on top to make it look rounded on top like his car. I’m actually gonna start making the cake a few days in advance. One day I’m going to make the fondant, another day I’ll make the butter cream, and the day of or day before I’ll make the cake and decorate it. Most likely the day before- I read cakes from fondant usually are okay to sit for 3 days, so one day should be fine. See what kind of ridiculously loving wife I am? GRRR I hate me! lol ;)

Anyways- didn’t work out yesterday- eating wasn’t good either ug- no excuses though. One of my client’s computers was on the fritz and I told him he needed a new DVD rom because his just wasn’t reading anything and I checked all the computer and power settings and everything was fine except that. His computer was so dirty and dusty I told him dust is really bad for your computer and at least 2x a year you should take it apart and air blast your computer to get out the dirt (letting you guys know too). I usually pull apart my computer a few times a year to clean it out when I do my spring cleaning and so on… It really helps with the life IMO. Just make sure you aren’t getting any parts wet when air blasting it. A feather duster also works.

Anyways- today is going to be tiring also- if my client calls to say he purchased a DVD rom then I’ll be going there after work (which has also been busy), probably picking up something for dinner afterwards since it’ll take me some time to get that fixed. I have a pile of mail calling my name (including my own bills) so I have to take care of that today as well, then workout and shower and go to bed! *breathes heavily* Just typing that made me TIRED! I’m not going online today when I get home (except to pay one bill) because it’ll just distract me from everything I have to do! Going online at home is very distracting cuz my friends just want to talk and when I say I have to go they all go AWWWWWW!

And Sigh- I know I’m not making the best choices already today- one of the interns is leaving- today is her last day- and for her they made these cream cheese and chocolate with chocolate chips cupcake- I had ONE and skipped breakfast to compensate- not the best exchange, I guess I could have said no- but I didn’t.

I feel like I’m not doing well at all, I’m feeling very tired, last night I literally sat around and went to bed at 9 pm, that’s how tired I was. But I’m not giving up, I’m going to continue to do my best and remember that my motivation is comic con- anytime I try to skip my workout I’m gonna say COMIC CON!!!

This is how I’m feeling today:

I feel like I’ve betrayed my body by not giving it my all and giving into my tiredness- not gonna happen today! Sorry online friends I talk to daily but I have to take care of myself!

    Instead of making the cake to match…how about making a regular cake, and going to a hobby store and getting a replica vehicle to put on top? Then he has the toy replica to keep afterwards. :)
    Just a thought. ;)

    Yeah I was considering it but I really want to make him a car cake- if it doesn’t turn out well OH WELL- I’m one of those like to do things with love kind of people (I know I know lol) AND I’m a glutton for punishment. I think if I space it out over a few days it can be done! The fondant I’m going to make over the weekend since according to online you can keep it for up to two weeks :)

    That and my husband already has a massive GTO miniature car collection…

    Haha, sounds adventurous.. I hope it works out! Let me know how the fondant recipe works, I’ve been thinking about trying one (this particular recipe is marshmallow based) but too afraid to attempt it so far.

    Good luck!

    Sounds very brave of you. You’ll have to post your pictures of the finished result!
