Closing down birthday season

042208_06

Oh, Shep, I love you so, but at this point in birthday season, I am totally tapped out. I promise you will not always get the shaft, but this year, the thought of hand-crafting the Wiggles’ Big Red Car made me think I might crawl into a corner and start sobbing.

But I will have you know that I went driving at about five zillion miles an hour today to purchase an amazing creation called an “edible cake topper” which is made of sugar and magically turns any cake into a work of art. Your father lovingly baked the cake and I decorated. So there’s still lots of love in this cake. Lots of exhausted love.
