Quick Cake Pictures- Not Much This Week

man, you would think after two years of doing this i might have some kind of schedule or something. i mean, i guess i did for a little while, but meh. things happen, i guess.

136 days. it can't go by fast enough. by then, i will be getting ready to leave, go for a 12 hour drive, and end up on the sunny shores of the outer banks. that is much nicer to think about than the dismal grey skies we have here, currently: 36 degrees and rainy. i would even take the current thunderstorms in kitty hawk, considering it's 64 there. that's like a 30 degree difference, people. less layers. more happy. someday i will get out of here and live far away from here.

of course, maybe it's just because i've been at work too much. these weeks where i can't escape even for 24 hours are making me unbelievably irritable. i don't want anything to do with anything. ever.

so here is the cake i made for a second birthday over the weekend. nothing super fancy, but hopefully something to make a kid who likes tractors happy! it is just a basic vanilla cake, with vanilla colored frosting.

i piped some little dots and a (very uneven) yellow stripe along the sides to offset the green. i think it came out pretty good.

about the only other new thing going on aside from being at work all the time, we got satch a new cage with the tax money we got back. my poor boy got dumped on the ground twice in a month by these asshole cats, so he now has a fortress that (with any luck) will not tip over. ron was home both times, and the second time, kairi and nubs went with him. they are all doing okay though. satch is pretty confused with his new house though, i mean, he basically had a stroke in 2006, and his cage has been unchanged for 10 years. i hope he will be okay with it soon though. in the mean time, he gets whatever he wants. (not that it's much different than usual ☺)

oh! sometime around (before? after? i don't remember) the cake, i made this little batch of cinnamon rolls for breakfast! i found this on pinterest from dessert for two (small batch cinnamon rolls for two) a while ago. they actially don't require any yeast which is nice, and means you don't have to wait.

they had almost a biscuit like texture to them. it was different than normal cinnamon rolls, but they were pretty tasty. the cream cheese frosting is a must though! i am a firm believer of that for any type of cinnamon roll. maple icing is a close second. one of these mornings, though, i will have to make a batch of real ones. or maybe those red velvet nutella rolls.....damn. i am such a fat kid about food.

anyway. i leave you with these pictures for now. here is satch's new fortress, accompanied by crazy bird lady and cosmo, and below is assface lounging around in the window yesterday when it was sunny for like 10 minutes.

have a good week/weekend! thanks for reading! ♥

it's not easy being a dick.
