More Photos for December:
Day 13: Composition - The building I work in, and the tree I like to gaze at during meetings (I think I took this in September)
Day 14: Drink - My drink is still Diet Pepsi
Day 15, Lights: My grandpa's tree...Chelsea took this picture today
I'd say more but I'm still recovering...The immediate care center gave me an antibiotic, and I'm actually taking it, that's how bad I feel. Well, felt - I am feeling better than I was.
So, okay, here's a thing - today was my great-aunt's birthday party (this is my grandma's sister). We were supposed to have her party last week but we had snow and ice so we had to reschedule.
My aunt (my mom's sister) was in charge of bringing the birthday cake this time. So, when it's time to put the candles on, this is what she comes up with:
Do you see a giant piece of cake missing from the corner? Because I do.
We all stared at Aunt Sondra in disbelief, and she said, "What? I was stuck in the house with Alyssa all week, and the cake was going to go bad, so I gave her a piece. Just don't say anything about it and no one will notice."
NO ONE WILL NOTICE?
So this cake wasn't meant to be eaten, Aunt Sondra had bought another cake that wasn't a week old to actually eat. Why couldn't we put the candles on that?
I've mentioned before that my brother is completely obnoxious, AND that we're very much alike. In unison, we both said, "I don't care how old my cake is or how hungry you get, please don't EVER give me a cake with a piece missing out of it." LOL
So that's all...my aunt is something else. She is my grandma multiplied by about a thousand. Audacious to the most outrageous.
My great-aunt Edie is the sweetest, gentlest soul in the world, so of course she didn't say anything about the missing piece.
Dwayne loves to point out how sweet and gentle she is and what in the world happened to the rest of us.
Did I miss the part where you got sick...?
ReplyDeleteI've been sick forever, it seems like. I think I may have tweeted it instead of blogged it last week when I finally went to immediate care...my throat had blisters on it and I couldn't talk and stuff. I'm feeling much better now! :)
DeleteHoly huge building! Are you up high? That was a funny cake story. I'm glad you're feeling better.
ReplyDelete, I am, thank you! I'm not up high, thank goodness! We have fire drills twice a year and it takes the people on the upper floors forever to get all the way down..
Delete'Just don't say anything about it and no one will notice.'
ReplyDeleteBabe, that is too funny.
I like the pics in this post a lot. :)
Thanks, Suze!
DeleteI know, right? I mean, how are we not going to notice that? LOL
You like to stare out at trees too? Me too!! They have a wonderful way of keeping things in perspective. Sometimes I wish I could say, "Everyone stop this interminable whittering on and lets all just look at that tree for 10 minutes..."
ReplyDeletePerhaps I should... perhaps I will...
You should! I ALWAYS make sure I get a seat where I can look out at the trees, and the more everyone gets so...just, you know, NOT COOL, the more I stare at the trees.
DeleteI've only been in a handful of meetings in conference rooms that didn't have windows. Those were the sleepy ones I don't remember very well, LOL!
There's a piece of the cake missing??? To the pastrymobile, so we can solve this mystery!
ReplyDeleteI don't think my aunt will ever live this one down. Just when you think she's done the most outrageous thing, here she comes with something else. :)
Deletelol hmmm I think you might have to try very hard not to notice that haha hopefully all the germs fly away soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too! I only have nine more working days until January, surely I can do it!
DeleteGlad you're feeling somewhat better. Your grandpa's Christmas tree is absolutely beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI am, thank you Keith!
DeleteI agree, it is beautiful! I could sit over there and stare at it for hours, and in fact I have...I love it.
