Many of you probably haven’t seen a photo of it outside of my refrigerator. I am irritated by the imperfections, but pleased (sort of) with the outcome. My hope is to get another chance to show the skillzzzzz. Anyone in Oak Park getting married??

Two more cakes in the making
Clementine the Shih Tzu. 14 weeks.
I have two cakes on the “burner” so to speak. One is for a family friends’ confirmation. He happens to be on the OPRF soccer team so I am thinking a big old huskey paw print on top of a two layer round cake. The second is a webinkinz cake for my daughter. We’ll see how these both pan out. Oh, and for the record, the apple pie was amazing. I made a second and plan to make another one this weekend. I used honeycrisp apples. Yum Yum. More to come soon. For now, check out the photo of the newest family member.
Apple Picking fiasco
We decided to go apple picking this weekend. Well, let me rephrase that, I decided to bring my family apple picking. Saturday was just perfect weather for a trip to Michigan to pick apples and visit the lake. I experienced another wonderful parenting moment. On the most beautiful day of the fall, my children bickered, my husband and I couldn’t see eye to eye and we were all stuck in the car driving to Michigan. Way to go mom.
Angry Birds Again — Final
So here are the final photos of the cake. I have some more to scrounge up, but you get the gist. All in all a wonderful experience. If you are interested in one for your own party, let me know…..

My Instinct
The lesson I have learned in the past few weeks is simple. I receive clues every day about what I should or should not do. Little signs point me in the right direction. I have the choice to listen or not. If I chose not to listen, it’s my own darn fault. Here’s to listening on Friday, I was able to say goodbye to grandpa.

What is Zumba?
Though I knew nothing about it when I registered, I now understand that Zumba is some Latin fitness program that uses dance and aerobics. I am confident that my 5 year dedication to “So You Think You Can Dance” will pay off. Since Zumba incorporates hip-hop, samba, salsa, merengue, mambo, and Bollywood (Katee & Joshua!!!), I am certain the Wednesdays spent watching dancing talent on TV, sipping a glass of wine or beer and eating fried dough will pay off. Squats, lunges and martial arts are apparently also included in the line up. These don’t excite me nearly as much as the mambo. I seem to remember some pretty sore hamstrings post basketball court lunging. Nevertheless, I will be interesting. Hopefully no lifts will be required.
Me, working out. Special thanks to Afton for the "spot-on" depiction of me.
Stay tuned for the results.
