Yesterday, we went to find Mac's cake. We found one in the 2nd bakery we went to but itt wasn't what I'd imagined, it was rectangle & not shaped & the design didn't seem very well done but Mac chose it so we went with it. I spent some time with the salesgirl redesigning it a little to make it less cluttered and fussy, hopefully I havent made it worse than it is now. I did emphasise a few times to make sure to change one of the Rangers colour to orange!
Then we went to look for his present but no luck. We'd planned to get one of those Vrtech consoles but we could only get it in Miri or back home & since we're not going back as we'd originally thought, we have to think of something else. My current idea is to get a Nintendo Wii or Sony PS3. I checked out the games on internet & seems there are preschooler games like Dora & Diego so we'll probably go with that. I'd like to get one more gift though, something with more oomph when he opens it up as a game console probably wont look very interesting to Mac. I was really hoping there would be new Transformers stock so I can pick up Bumblebee or Mudflap for him.
Then this afternoon, our friend came by for a chat & to look at Mac's old baby stuff - stroller, carrier, crib, bottle warmer etc. They're expecting and wanted to get those secondhand. We sold it cheaply as they've been taking a lot of space although I do feel a pang at letting them go. I'm a packrat. At least the funds can go towards Mac's presents.
Sorry, too much yakking.

OH I remember giving my daughter's baby things to a friend, it was so hard. I am not a pack rat, I don't have any trouble getting rid of things I don't need or use unless it involves her things. I still have every dress she wore the first year of her life, saying I was saving them for her daughter....she is 29 and not married...don't think they will ever be used..LOL!
I hope the cake comes out the way you want. Be sure to post a picture of it when you get it. I can't wait to see.
Great list, today. Thanks!!

It's the worst (and the best) of decorated cakes. Some days it's the funniest thing I see all day!
And if the cake comes out wrong, snap a picture and send it in. But here's hoping it comes out beautifully!
