I had a really busy weekend. Saturday I went to a friend’s 40th Surprise Birthday Party. It was a nice party but I would have to say the best part of it was the cake his mother, wife and sister got him. The cake was in the shape of a woman’s torso. It had huge boobs and… a vagina. Yes! The cake had a vagina made of icing and roasted coconut shavings. At the end of the party all that was left of the cake was the vagina since no one could get themselves to eat it. Which I gotta say surprised me– I honestly thought that would have been the first piece to go. The funny part of all of this is I took a picture of the cake and I keep thinking maybe I should post it… but I can’t do it. It’s just too gross. No picture. Sorry guys.

Sunday was spent with Audra and Lisa doing pysanky. Pookie asked me to make him an egg with a flaming skull on it. Normally I am a real stickler for traditional eggs– if you want Snoopy, go get a Paas kit! But I couldn’t turn down a challenge!

Yeah, I know, you can’t get any more Easter than that!

Audra made Halushki which I LOVED! And she used egg noodles which I thought was brilliant. My mom always made her own noodles which is what has stopped me from making it– sheer intimidation. Here’s a link to a pretty good recipe— I think variation 2 is the better one. And instead of bacon grease, you can just use butter— a lot of butter. Because it’s the healthier option 🙂

Work is going well. They are preparing me well. This week will be another week of mainly training. Today I got to work from home which was a sheer joy. Of course I spent the entire time on the phone cold calling. This is a good thing. I am one of those weird people who don’t mind it… mainly because I see past the initial discomfort to the whole lotta money it makes me. Rejection is something I faced repeatedly as a nerdy, geeky child and somehow I ended up in sales so I could continue to face it on an hourly basis. Life is weird.

Yeah, I am glad I didn’t link to the vagina cake picture. That would have been wrong.
