Time for a Tune-Up

What else have I been doing? Well... after years of owning a piano I finally got it tuned (funny how it still sound bad when I play it) and managed to find a pretty kick-ass piano teacher. I start lessons on Tuesday and have been practicing what I do know so I don't look completely inept at my first lesson.

Just mildly.

And I baked a cake. The cake part sucked (a baker I am not) but the decorating? I sure do like that part. Fondant is like playDoh for adults. The cake was to celebrate the arrival of twins so I opted to go with the cliché 'two peas in a pod' theme. And, yes, I copied a couple cake designs off Pinterest. Which is the best thing since sliced bread.

Seriously.

In the end the cake was a huge hit (again... more so the decorating than the cake itself. Not gonna lie, it was kind of gross inside) and although I kind of wish I had used more of a pastel color scheme (when it comes to both icing and paint I have this theory that if it's all the same price I may as well go all-out. If you saw my house you'd understand) and had made a taller, narrower cake (for effect) I'm pretty impressed with how it turned out. So much so that I had to stop myself from naming the babies.

That is FANTASTIC!! It turned out super-well! I joined Pinterest about a month ago (totally awesome time-waster) - I searched your name back then (no luck) but didn't even think about the "last girl standing" name! I'm following you, baby!

That is too cute! I suck at fondant.

When you learn piano, you can come down here and teach me. I suck at that, too.
