Do you remember one of those days that you look back and can laugh about, but at the time you were an emotional wreck and everything that could was going wrong? Well that day is today. I took the afternoon off and spent it having a little time with my husband. Today is our anniversary and he was scheduled to work. I wasn't scheduled to work, yet here I am at the office. (I told you I was having one of "those" days).
So yesterday when I got through hanging out with my Donald in the afternoon and having an early dinner we headed home by way of the grocery store and then my office so we could pick up Donald's truck Only his truck wouldn't start. And it wouldn't't jump start with the jumper box. I was about half way home when he called. So I went on home and let the dogs out and took the groceries in and went back. Arg. In the past week both the washing machine and the major printer at my office died.
And by the time I left both the Toyota Service Department, the tag office and got to the bakery today I just burst into tears when the cake looked nothing like my wedding cake top layer which is was supposed to be an identical replica. The girl behind the counter was so sweet and so apologetic. The scrapped of the wrong big hunky, ugly, and wrong color rose and took my cake in the back to "work with it" The baker had left for the day and well it wasn't really the cake that made me cry it was the pile of things that happened recently.
The sweet counter girl worked on the cake... and a cake decorator she isn't. But bless her heart she tried so hard. And besides the point... I know it's still going to taste great. I also have been munching on some cheese straws all afternoon. Yummy. And they have the nicest of selections of cake toppers for weddings and birthdays and lots of other special events. And in the past few hours as I've told this story a few times and have begun to see the humor in it. I'm sure when I show my grand kids photos of my wedding cake and my 10th anniversary cake in oh maybe another 10 years they will laugh about it too. Meanwhile... I'll still be buying my cakes from Ryals Bakery because NOTHING tastes that good. And for the sweet girl who hated to see my tears and likely thinks it's all just because of a cake... thank you for doing you best to make it perfect. You were sweet. And while the cake isn't perfect, today is still a wonderful day and the anniversary that I married a wonderful man.
