I dunno who y’all are who are saying you prefer thoughtful gifts to cash, but I am firmly team take the money and run. Thoughtful gifts are nice, but if you’re gonna give me a mason jar full of flour and shit and call it a “recipe for your favorite pancakes!” or whatever, just give me five bucks. I mean, really now.
Why can’t I just download things to my brain like they did in the Matrix?
Because it shouldn’t have taken this long for me to pipe out one decent spot of yellow on parchment paper after giving up on sugar cookies.
These cookies are not turning out the way I’d hoped.
I tend to give up if things don’t work right the first time. I’m trying really hard not to do that here.

Maybe instead of cupcakes I’ll make sugar cookies. I can cut them into the logo shape then use royal icing to flood the color on.
I’ve never done anything with royal icing so this should be a lovely disaster.
Welcome to the way my brain works.
I’ve been wearing a watch with a dead battery for about 2 weeks now. It’s perpetually 6:00 for me.
That’s pretty much where I am in life at this point.
Cupcakes and buttercream. Three friggin’ hours.
I haven’t even piped the “S” yet. The crumbs for the cake balls are still sitting in a bowl. And the mountain of dishes in the kitchen is staggering.
And this was only a test run.
Kid, I don’t think I’m surprising you with cool Superman cake stuff for your birthday.
What if you just made the kid cupcakes and got cute superman toppers for them?

Because that would have been the intelligent thing to do …
And because I get these stupid ideas in my head that I am infinitely more talented at everything than I actually am. So I think “oh, I can do that, no problem” and 4 hours later I’m laying on the couch beat down from my super ego and its complete wrongness about the universe.
Don’t stress it, Scully. The people that do all that crazy baking stuff with sparklers and dancing gremlins on them have been doing it for years. One of my buddies makes some dope cupcakes and cookies (she sells them too) even she whiffs on a throw. She actually made me cookies once because the cake she was trying to make didn’t come out right. She was so upset over the cake she was like “fuck it, I can do these cookies since they’ll definitely come out.” And she did.
Your awesome at damn near everything. I’m sure what you made was tasty and pretty.
Pick a night, we’ll make these and drink wine.
You’re my favorite.
I feel like I have something every damned weekend and I hate asking you over during the week because I know by the time you get home it’s like “life, leave me alone”. But maybe we can shoot for a Friday night if you’re free?
Because those brownies need to get in my belly.
