I made a cake! Okay, it was still technically from a box, and I didn't make the frosting myself... but there were layers! And decorative icing! It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's my first real cake, and I'm very proud of myself.



My dad's birthday is Monday, so we celebrated today with steak, cake, and prizes. Which means.... drum roll... we are now using our fully updated telephones! I feel like I have put one foot through the door of the 21st century. Telephones down, TV next. It's getting there, slowly. The picture flickers like crazy when you turn it on. I thought that maybe, just maybe, today might be the day it finally died, but no such luck. It was just taunting me, the evil bastard.




This is my ancient television... and yes, I'm watching the Britney Spears movie. Don't judge me. But do you see my problem? It's literally older than me!

Other than making my fantabulous cake, I moved lots and lots of boxes and furniture out into the garage today. Again.. we have so much crap! Our garage is over half full, so no parking inside, and it rained a lot today. To be funny, my dad brought a worm in and chased me with it. He's not a nice man.
