Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 , The cake is not all gone, but it really tasted overly sweet to me, so I don't even want any more! I seriously thought it was going to make me sick, the frosting was so overpowering. I think I won the battle for the most part yesterday, but boy are my insides telling me today how much I screwed up yesterday! Thanks for replying!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Sharon, We had my son's birthday party this weekend too! It was a huge success, although somewhat stressful! I know what you mean about the cake! My mother made this absolutely amazing cake with a special white-chocolate icing... it is actually made with melted white-chocolate, whipping cream, butter, and powdered sugar, and it is SO fluffy and yummy! She left it at my house because she has no air conditioning in her car, and the icing is so light, that it would melt. Well, Sunday evening when I dropped my son off for her to babysit, I took the rest of the cake to her house in my air conditioned car! LOL Glad to hear you rid yourself of a toxic " friend " . I have been there before. I think it has been almost 5 years since I finally told my best friend that I couldn't handle having her in my life anymore, no matter how much I loved her. My life has been much better since. ~Jette~ Start Date 4/7/2003 SW-285/CW-258/MG-250/FG-160 ----- Original Message ----- > Well, all the craziness that goes with a kids birthday party was my > day today, lol!

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Jette, Thanks so much for your reply, it helps a lot to know that someone else has walked this path, especially with the friend thing. To be honest, I don't think we had really been close in at least a year, maybe longer, and I was just not severing the tie because I was not sure how. Its a shame that it took me getting that fed up to get to the point that I was not going to put up with any more, but at least I made the step. The cake is finally all gone here, so I don't have it as a constant distraction every time I walk into the kitchen! Sounds like everything went well for you over the weekend, what is the latest with the vehicle sitouation? I have wondered/worried about you with that the last few days! Take care!
