Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You are apparently not familiar enough with the Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade oeuvre.

We're having early snowpocalypse. Except, it's now ice pellets. Don't wanna shovel!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it okay if I'm proud of that? I want to be proud of that.

Yikes, Sue. I am super happy to never have to shovel.

Yes, ita !, you should be proud of that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesse,

your Sandra Lee shout-out scared me.

But I laughed at the same place you did regarding doing everything from scratch. I have never made stuffing from scratch (making my own bread, making my own sausage) and I ain't starting tomorrow.

Half of the time, we are lucky that I am picking up a pan to cook dinner, much less that everything is made from scratch.

Sandra Lee though? That Kwanzaa cake?

Gotta love the Kwanzaa Kake.

Yes, that's a thing.

I had a little nap instead of shovelling.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was at a friend's birthday party where another friend showed up with a Sandra Lee-inspired "cake" for the birthday girl.

Let me be clear: I *love* cake. LOVE. I'm not sure I've ever met a cake I didn't like, although of course I do have preferential ranking.

I took one bite of that "cake" and seriously spit it back out. It was, like Cool Whip and -- I think booze??? -- and maybe an angel food cake and jello and I'm not sure what all else.

I like all of those things inividually (or, at the very least, they aren't so offensive to my taste buds that I would spit them out). I have no idea what dark majicks were worked upon that "cake" to make it so disgusting.

The birthday girl's *dog* wouldn't eat the cake.

Because books.

Dude. That's a nasty cake.
