The boys are off doing their thing until the afternoon and I have nothing scheduled. This is making me have feelings. I&#39;d LOVE a day to do nothing. But I also feel like I should be doing SOMETHING. <br/><br/>The closest kitchen store that sells the mixer I want is a little over an hour away. Do I go on a self-adventure to Northampton, Mass? Maybe have fun, shop a bit, then come home in time for the boys? 2025-06-27T21:31:08Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs240n657zhy2r5z8tdwdg6ylugzuuuasqt8synsnmeqvhk70g5hvszypjd983vn0ruhpccrflrw68qxndpwkyex7rjtzehh6n40cpj6y3fgmkhr3e I think if nothing else major breaks in the house &amp; no one&#39;s car dies this summer, I can probably save up enough to get my dream mixer by September.

I never do this. I&#39;m not great at decorating but this cake was screaming for a happy decoration. I separated my frosting into 5 parts, after spreading a thin crumb coat on the cake. I added different amounts of yellow gel food coloring to each bowl, then put them in piping bags with star tips. Randomly covered the top of the cake in stars, all in various shades of yellow.

No biscuit cutter so I used a Ball jar. They could benefit from a little more salt. I used shortening, not salted butter &amp; I think that&#39;s where the salt is missing from.

So the money that I had been saving to start my little &#34;out of my house&#34; cottage bakery is now all going to fixing my car. Like, every last cent.<br/><br/>Everything happens for a reason and at least I have the money. If this has happened back when I was living paycheck to paycheck it would have been a disaster. 2024-11-25T17:15:09Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst2530z2d833ksxjpfau7d5mw6z7qazg67fw8q2fptqwu6yfru6lszypjd983vn0ruhpccrflrw68qxndpwkyex7rjtzehh6n40cpj6y3fgvlrzsc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqecs4dgakxwmd3vjwl9v0j539uujyjs5yyrk7yzpqcd8unk7al4qdgz3jd'>nevent1q…z3jd</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Delicious.

I&#39;m forced to reply to 14 posts introducing a classmate. Prof started- where she was from, how long she&#39;s been teaching, her family, her many hobbies, her favorite season &amp; she&#39;s not a great cook. Many students wrote, &#34;I&#39;m (name), I&#39;m from (town or state), my major is (major). I somehow have to come up with a multi sentence reply to these people. Without it sounding like I&#39;m hitting on them. I don&#39;t have strong enough social skills for this. #adulting 2024-08-29T23:06:48Z
