Hoo-ee, I’m cake-popped out! What fun yesterday. I ended up with 115, with the awesome help of Kay and Mavis. By the end of the bagging/ribboning session, we were all pretty goofy and silly. Why can’t I tie a bow anymore? Haha. Good times.

Today, we’re off to the races, then the racetrack. Number 2 grandson Justin turns 4 on Monday, and his party is today. I’ll make a hasty exit from that party to Rae and Heffe’s wedding, and following that, Simone and John’s daughter turns 10 today, and we’re going for a celebration at their house later.

After all the partying, it’s off to Thistledown for a little grown-up escape before the final, ridiculously crazy week at school.

I can see the finish line, waaaaay off in the distance. Huzzah!

Happy weekend, fiends. Here we go.

For two reasons: 1 – we’re approaching the last few days of school, and 2 – I get to hang with sis Mavis and BFF Kay today. Yippy!! Some fun girl time is definitely on the prescription I wrote myself a few weeks ago, especially for this time period.

Busy weekend for sure (a wedding and two birthday parties, a preschool “graduation” and picnic, then getting stuff ready for my final concert on Monday night), but it should be fun.

Operation Tie-the-Knot is coming along. All cake pops are on the sticks and ready for their chocolate baths this afternoon. Then Mavis, Kay and I will wrap them up and make them pretty, and send them on their way to the reception hall at the ski lodge.

Two more gigs, two more gigs, two more gigs…then I put on my dancing top hat. Is he annoying you yet?

Happy Finkday! Dress casual!

It began last night. My first official wedding gig — baking cake pops for a bride and groom’s reception.

Last night, I baked the three cakes and refrigerated them. Tonight I shall make up the cake pop recipe, put in the sucker sticks, and freeze ’em. Tomorrow night after my concert, they get a chocolate bath, and Friday afternoon, on go the finishing touches and packaging.

Friday night, I go to bed early.

Is it the 28th yet? Just axin’.

…than a 2-hour delay at school due to there being no water. I mean, I guess the school could have imploded or there was no electricity anywhere. But a 2-hour delay because of no water? I’ll take it.

The bad part: we were notified at 6:45 a.m., long after most staff are already on the road. I was getting ready to grab the lunch and head out the door when the call came in.

In no way does this suggest I am absolutely bathing in schadenfreude this morning, but…yeah.

Actually, it’s nine (kids don’t have school on Thursday; teachers have an inservice day), but really…who counts? Besides me, I mean?

I hope everyone had a fantastic Moms Day here in the US yesterday. Did you? What all did you do?

I was treated to three visits throughout the day, with some gorgeous flowers that are sweetening the air in the house, making it smell like spring really has arrived. I saw all three of my grandsons — it was a marvelous afternoon!

One month from today, we will be on the road from Mississippi to Dallas, where we’ll spend an awesome weekend with BoomR. He’s having me sit in for a couple numbers at his gig at swanky Chamberlain’s Steak & Chop House too, which will be more fun than I’m sure is lawful.

But first: the May Funnel. Performances this Thursday, next Monday, and the Sunday after that. Then we can think about other stuff.

It’s go time. Have a goody.
