W/o this morning will be Step Blast -- I've been craving this one lately! I hope it helps me relieve some of this stress!
My best friend is getting married on Saturday. Did I ever mention that I am making her wedding cake? PS, I have never made a wedding cake before. Can I do it?? Who knows, we shall see
I have a bazillion errands to run between now and Friday when we need to leave -- to the store for cake ingredients, to Michael's for a few more supplies, need to pick up Collin's tux (he's the ringbearer), still need to shop for a dress to wear (gotta look nice in case I have to walk down the aisle with Collin!), need something for Chris to wear, AND I need to bake the cakes and decorate them some time!!
I am feeling a little overwhelmed -- whew -- deep breath. Please wish me a good sweaty workout to clear my mind!

Morning
Making a wedding cake? I suggest you buy double ingredients just in case the 1st cake does not come out well. Or you can cheat and buy a plan cake then decorate it ;-) . My girlfriend went to culinary(sp?) school and she never was able to bake a cake from scratch, so she sub with a store brought, undecorated cake. her speciality was decorating and she did some great b-day cakes.
You'll be able to find some very nice things in Michaels.
My w/o today will be Amy Hi-lo KO and abs
Menu:
b-boiled egg and toast
s-fruit and ??
l-tuna sandwich
d- We are going to Applebees, so I hope to keep it very clean

Katie, Oh my word! I've done all of the Wilton classes and I'd be freakin' out right now!!! Hope it goes well!! Have fun w/ SB!
Robin, Good idea on the cake. At A'bees I always get grilled ch. salad w/ extra salsa. And I *try* to not eat DDs fries! They are sooooo good there.

Lots to do today...again. Better get in the shower to get started. bbl

Thanks Kate for the advice.
Sorry about your neck pain Colleen, how are you feeling today?
Steph what's wrong with summer teaching?;-)
Jenn why do people wait until Apr 15 to pay their taxes. I know some people wait until 11:45 pm...almost midnight to drop it off at the post office.

Morning clean and tidy peeps!
Back to work for me, wish i played hookey again today!!
Katie, Colin in a tux must be the cutest thing ever! I know nothing about cake baking, but that's friggen a lot of pressure if its a wedding cake!
Robin, did you get in the ring yet??
Kate, getting the refund is all that matters! We dont even need to file if we're getting a refund, so the government doesnt pay us!
Jenn, you and Robin should go shopping! Have fun being off.
I have the trainer tonight, he's taking me to a new studio, he says theres more stuff and no one will be there!
Menu:
B: egg whites with stuff
s: cc/almonds/pp
l: veg soup, carrots/celery, hummus, apple
s: ryveta, nat pb
d: omelette, ezekial, salad, berries
I have a presentation this afternoon, better do get to it!

ugh...work. I can't believe how busy things are. DH just hired 2 new guys. Now we have 23 employees!!! The most we ever used to have before is 10. It scares me to be this big.
Jenn, Which steps did you get??! Your dinner sounds WONDERFUL!!! LOL on cute delivery guys! Our dog always attacks (in a friendly way!) our drivers! I'm getting a big maternity order today - AND I got one y'day! Cha-ching!
Robin, This is the start of YOUR spring break isn't it?? Good for you!
Steph, What's the presentation on? Good luck! And have fun tonight!!
Colleen, I hope you get in somewhere tonight. DH says my showers are 3x as long as they need to be. But I figure for as little as I get to shower I can take as long as I want! I've never had london broil before..any good? I assume so if you're eating it!
-----------------
Y'day we bought 1/4 of a cow - our freezer is STUFFED with burger, steaks, roasts... yikes. Wish I could organize it better. Not even sure whats in there now.
Better get busy again. I long for the days where I can even empty the dishwasher without feeling guilty that I'm not working....sigh. Soon. I hope.

Colleen hope you feel better. Sinus pain is horrible.
Kate I bought a orginal step to replace my reebok step. A high step and slanted risers. I'm also patiently waiting for Cathe's fitness line to go on sale so I can buy more stuff. ;-)
My workout was good. My booty is sore.

Off to the trainer, i ate too much fibre at lunch,then had a diet coke at this presentation, poor trainer might be in for a surprise, TMI

I came home from shopping and my new In the Ring DVD was in the mail.
YAY. I preview it and it looks hard so I put it on my calendar for every Wed w/o.
Colleen did you like the Amy HiLo? I LOVED the music but I can't always tell when she is on her right vs left foot.I plan to buy the CD for HiLo and put it in my ipod.
Kate 1/4 Cow. At first I thought you had a whole leg of cow. LOL :+
New studio Steph tell us all about it.
UPS & FEDX man is coming today Jenn? I'm coming over to your house girl.
I did some kid jeans shopping with the kids and they are so picky, so I got mad and went to Modells to buy 10# ankel weights.
Dinner was good but not clean at all. :-( I did not eat enough at lunch.

Hey ladies, sorry for the late check in. I have been running CRAZY all day!
RE: The Cake --
I have taken a few of the Wilton classes and I feel confident in my abilities to both BAKE and DECORATE, and I am using some recipes that come highly recommended (tasty and dense enough to support the weight). I am covering the cake with fondant which I have never done before, so we will see how that goes. It is going to be 3 tiers. I have made a 2 tiered cake before, but never 3 tiers! WISH ME LUCK!
Collin looks smashing in his tux, btw!! I will definitely post pics this weekend!
