workin' hard

In 47 days we will get on a plane headed to ....

H A W A I I !

For the last few weeks I have been *trying* to work off some of the winter LBs that seem to really enjoy residing on my backside and frontside. I was doing pretty good until last Saturday when my oh so sweet husband gave me that huge cupcake cake. It was seriously the best cake ever - chocolate layered cake w/vanilla icing on the sides and chocolate icing on the top. Oh my - I'm drooling and my teeth hurt just thinking about it. I had it Sat night, Sun morning for breakfast, Sun afternoon, and Sun night. On Sunday night, feeling pretty ill, we made a pact that it was going in the trash on Monday. Monday night, while Brian was at a work dinner, I sent him these messages

8:30pm Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

To which he replied with
My whole board are laughing at these!
Isn't that just lovely?! He shared my disgusting cake eating habits w/his work people!! Ahhh, the humiliation!! Tuesday I put the cake in the trash. I was "done". Tuesday night Brian dug it out of the trash for one last hurrah with our delicious friend. Isn't that so gross?! It was wrapped in plastic but still ... if only I could share that information w/the board! Hehe.

I am super impressed that the cake lasted that long. I think I would have gobbled it down all in one sitting!

Te-he!!!

OH this is just too hilarious. I was cracking up, at first, over the many times you ate the cake. I think you and I may be related somehow...
But then I got to the part where the cake was resurrected from the trash, and I was guffawing.

You are my type of girl. Seriously, when a dessert is too good to go to waste I will eat it for every meal and snack in between.

I say way to enjoy it. :o)

Ah that made me laugh out loud!! It was a spectacular cake, though.

I am soooo jealous (but happy for you!) Hawaii!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. Amazing.

Jennifer said...

We have to hang out. OMG. You are my soul sister!

Christine said...

Hawaii?! Seriously?! You have a rough life my friend, rough. :-)

And the cake... I'd be right there with you.

Didn't George Castanza also take a tasty treat out of the trash on Seinfeld? Hilarious.

You are going to love it in Hawaii ... from the very place I am typing this comment.

I think I mentioned on FB that this place is a great place for family and I think you would LOVE it. We go to Hawaii every year and have been to Kauai, Maui, Lanai and now the Big Island (my current fave). PM me if you want more details.

That thing did look delicious! And I'm sure you don't have any extra lbs from the winter - from that cupcake maybe :) Kidding!
And Hawaii?! Lucky gal!

i can't tell you how hard i laughed at this! i rarely buy or make cake, because if i do - i.eat.all.of.it. in less than 24 hours. and i pay for it later. i have never dug it out of the trash though - probably because i have never thrown it away!

CatherineD said...

Ha ha ha!!! I love this post, because it sounds just like something that would happen in my house... right down to Brian sharing the texts with coworkers!

I love that you shared how he dug it out of the trash...ooh, I wish you had pictures!

If you are a Sex & the City fan, surely you remember when Miranda took the chocolate cake out of her garbage and wanted to call the "Betty Crocker Clinic?" Too funny!
