| Cake anyone?????
OMG one of my employees brought me a HUGE cake for my birthday yesterday. I just got it this morning. It is not just a small round cake, it is HUGE. I would say it could feed 20-30 people....PARTY SIZE CAKE. It is beautiful, with fresh flowers on it. OMG, I said thank you of course and how nice it was but OMG. This afternoon when they get off work I will give everyone a piece....but the rest is going out into my neighborhood. this morning I am cutting that thing up and taking it to my neighbors. It was a very sweet thought and gift for my birthday but I can't eat it

Wow !!! How awesome & how sweet !!! No pun intended, of course. You must feel so honored that she would do something that elaborate for you !!! You must be a very good employer or else she's gonna hit you up for a raise !!! LOL !!!! I'm sorry that you can't eat it, but the neighbors are certainly going to be glad. Again, have a wonderful birthday weekend !!!

Happy Birthday! You get to have one piece though, right? May I recommend the "work yourself to death" diet? I've lost 40 pounds without a single thought about what I eat except for when I'm broke I try to buy the MOST calories for a dollar and when I need to stay awake it's all about the sugar. I'm within 7 pounds of my goal weight. I hope now that the pressure is off and I'm eating lettuce and yogurt again I don't balloon or something. But right now I have to go in search of some suitable dessert to honor your birthday.

Thanks Smokie...no acutally all I did was lick the knife when I cut a piece. I saved my calories for my annual bday Tirimisu...which was delicious by the way LOL. WOW I am so proud of you, but not happy for the way you did it, I know you are exhausted. Take care of yourself...vitamins? do you take vitamins? if not you need to.

Sometimes I drink those Slimfast things. They have vitamins. It's getting hard to find the ones that are not low-carb, though. I can't make myself pay that much for something that doesn't even count as a whole snack. I am having Breyer's Light Vanilla Bean Ice Cream with 2% milkfat for your birthday. It's been in the fridge awhile and the texture is kind of... um... playful... but it tastes fine. Cheers!
