I always knew I was a Cancer.

Apparently astronomers have recalculated the Zodiac and now I'm a Cancer instead of a Leo, which makes a lot of sense. Or, you know, would make a lot of sense if I believed in that, which I don't, but I thought it was interesting anyway because I know what the supposed characteristics of a supposed Leo are and they definitely don't fit me and now it turns out they've just had the dates wrong for all these years. How about that.

Yesterday we got word at the office that the President was going to visit Safeway and since traffic tends to back up around here on a good day, we decided to shut down early and get out while we could. And since I had nowhere to be I decided to take the long, out of the way route home so I could drive past Safeway and see what's happening up there. What's happening is that it's still taped off but Brian Williams has moved on. But then as I was driving I got behind this motorcade and there were limos and dark SUVs and police escorts and I was thinking oh, yeah, I'm totally behind the President right now! Awesome! Because all the lights turn green for the President, yo, and I was cruising right along. Anyway then my friend in the Air Force told me nope, President just landed at DM like 30 minutes ago, no way he could already have gotten to the north side, visited Safeway, and be headed back to midtown already. And if you are familiar with Tucson traffic, you know that is entirely true. So it was pretty much a false alarm, I wasn't behind the President and the President did not go to Safeway. I might've been behind, like, a decoy President. That's kind of cool, I guess. And I did get out of work early, so, win win win.

I wanted to show you guys this wedding cake I made but I don't have any clever or not clever ways to bring that up, so, here's this wedding cake I made:
Ta-da! I would mark it off my life list except I didn't put "make a stacked wedding cake" on my life list so I guess it's for naught. Ok, maybe not for naught, but, you know. Serves me no purpose other than having taken 2 years off my life due to the massive stress of it all. But I was happy with how it turned out and more importantly, so were the people who had gotten married, so, yeah, success.

I have to interrupt this bragging to report that there is a guy outside right now- he appears to be waiting for some kind of an appointment- and he's strolling around the gravel in front of the offices pulling weeds. He's not the landscaper/weed guy, he's just a regular guy. Pulling weeds. In our office complex. That is so weird. That guy needs to go to my house if he loves pulling weeds so much. Huh. People are crazy. He's probably going to the psychiatrist to deal with his weed OCD. Ahaha. I kid, I kid. Kind of.

Erin! That cake is absolutely beautiful! Great job! :-) I hope you don't mind me lurking on your blog--I was reading Adriane's, which I didn't know existed 'til she posted on facebook that she had one...and then I saw yours and it looked interesting. So I came to visit...and it was. LOL
