Friday, April 01st, 2011

Somedays my cakes don’t turn out and I have to be a hypocrite and buy one at a place I vowed never to shop.  Somedays I have to borrow my friend’s boyfriend to be my faux boyfriend because I’m too shy to ask the boy I really like.  Somedays I wear a winter coat when it’s officially spring.  Somedays I can’t go out to dinner with my posse after a photo shoot because I forgot that I wore nothing but my skivvies under my coat.  Somedays, no MANY days, I’m too lazy to paint my finger nails.  Somedays I go to work with my hair wet (please don’t tell Neil). Somedays I’m definitely less than perfect.  Oh, and happy April Fool’s Day!  I’m allowed one day to fudge on a recipe? right??

Wearing just 2 things; coat by the always perfect darling at Frecklewonder and Winter Kitty.

Biggest thanks to Phil Defalco for always taking the perfect shot, regardless of how I show up.

    Wow – that’s one great friend you have there, lending you that hunk-a-uniform! As for fudging, I’m guessing we all do it. My son’s 5th birthday was this week and I had mentally bookmarked a soccer cake on the shelf of our local grocery store. Just in case I wasn’t up to making the soccer cupcake (totally insane) idea I had in my head. Turns out I did it – blog post will be up soon. But the truth is the kids would have been just as happy with store-bought.

  94. Everyone can fudge up a recipe from time to time. I often go out with my hair still wet, and forget to paint my nails. Our daily imperfections are what make us so special :) Oh, and yeah, a faux boyfriend can sometimes be better than none at all. That’s where my gay boyfriends sometimes come in, haha.

  96. AMAZING cake! I could easily eat a whole 10 slices. Or the whole cake altogether! Then console myself afterward by saying there were berries on top which makes it kinda healthy. Kinda.

    And yes, imperfections are what life is about isn’t it. I do the whole wearing a winter coat in spring a lot. And a whole lot of other things I probably shouldn’t divulge on the Internet ;) haha. Thanks for dropping by my blog! :)
