I’m Not Proud

Since I consider that integrity is a vital part of my life, I decided to grant Terri a look at my disastrous St. Patty’s Day cake!

Yes, it was a three layer cake and was supposed to be a checkerboard pattern. I have come to the conclusion that this poor cake suffered from a bad mix ( a very tasty recipe, actually) of icing.  As soon as Michelle iced the cake, it began to slide AND crack open at once! ‘Tis good we have a good sense of humor here or else!

The backside of the St. Patty’s disaster….

Oh, and just for the record…this cake is delicious despite its appearance.

And now for another St. Patty’s disaster of an entirely different kind…

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my Scotties. And, every now and then, we like to do silly things with the Scotties! Soooo…we do funny things like putting green “boppers” on their heads to celebrate the green holiday.

This morning, Ben called to me from downstairs, a sense of urgency in his voice. I went downstairs to see this on the living room carpet.

Please notice the missing piece to this puzzle…..

Can you honesty say that dogs are “dumb”?  Poor little Murphy is making a statement loud and clear….he is Scottish, NOT Irish. Poor little fellow has had a complex ever since the day that Ben insisted we call the little lad Murphy!

  • Aww Kae that cake looks great… better than any cake I’d attempt. I haven’t baked in years! I’d end up with a cat in the middle of it or Lucy the wild child stealing it (yesterday she stole my sandwich I made in the morning for work.. I was inches away from it and she still got it off the counter from in front of me and then last evening stole my latte when I got home from a special trip out just for the latte!!) As far as Murphy revolting… he really just wanted the kisses is all :)

  • hehehe…You are so right, Terri…Murphy ONLY wants kisses! Smart laddie, he is! Lucy sounds like she must be a real cut up! I once had an Afghan Hound for a short time, and that bugger got up on her hind feet and ate from a skillet on the stove!!! Thankfully, Scotties have those short little legs!

  • Kae – At least he didn’t eat the piece! You’d be walkin’ around behind him lookin’ for little green bits in the snow and they would be spring tryin’ ta pop up either!

  • Ah Dayna, although the little laddie is destructive from time to time, he never ingests anything that isn’t FOOD! Although a total clown to the delight of others, he is also very discriminating….a total bundle of paradigms, my Murphy!!!

  • No, just a sensible Scots man!

  • Hey, the cake looks like something I would make!

    Poor Murphy…he knows how to get out of having to wear those silly boppers!
