No gain! Wahoo! I made my birthday cake again because the pumpkin cheesecake with Truvia = NASTY. Never again. Instead I baked a no flour dark chocolate cake and it was so rich I couldn't even eat a whole slice. Now, with the whole fiasco with the cheesecake in mind I wasn't about to mess with chocolate cake after a great dinner so I did use regular sugar. It was perfect. Not something I'll do normally, but this was so worth it.

I did end up leaving work early to get the kid (3 checkmarks before noon... somebody was in trouble.) It was nice to get home and relax a while, then I did some deep cleaning of the bathroom. I pulled some things off of the top of the cabinet and set them on top of the light fixture, then promptly forgot them. One of them being a candle, directly over the light bulb.

I'd finished cleaning the whole place and went to get the broom, got distracted, and when I walked back in later I couldn't understand this bright red gellatinous mess until I looked up and did the forehead slap! Of course gram and the kid laughed long and hard, then stood watching me wield the razor blade. *rolls eyes* blonde moments are inescapable.

Oh I got myself a new cookbook! Its called the Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook (2nd edition) and I'm so excited about it. Lots of great information and I can't wait to try some of the recipes. Nothing with gluten in the book, plus substitutions to lower carbs or dairy, etc. So cool I might even start back to my menu/grocery planning.

Once I'd read a few chapters I went to get ready for bed and set out our clothes for this morning. As I was looking through my closet, I decided to try on one of my next size down dresses. The first one was still too tight, but the other 4 that I tried on fit perfectly!! Its too cold to wear one today but Sunday.... yeah buddy.

It looks like somebody got the memo it was my birthday - walked in this morning to find a bouquet of flowers and a card from everyone at work on my desk. A day late is better than nothing right? And they smell so perty! Glad they didn't buy me a cake haha.

Nothing fancy planned today, just going to relax for a bit. My bestie is supposed to stop by with my present late, but otherwise I'm free as a bird. Maybe I'll do some sewing. Other than that I'm going to act like the old lady I am and probably hit the sack early. Gotta love it!

I love cookbooks...so much fun to go through, then the frustrating part of trying to find exactly what you think you found...memory is slipping in my old age...LOL! Your wax story was funny, glad you got it cleaned up. MAJOR KUDO's to you on those dresses fitting...you are doing amazing!

Loved reading your blonde moment. The cook book sounds awesome! Is there a recipe for that cake, or am I better off (calorie wise) by simply ignoring it and move on? :-)

Thanks guys! All I can says is its all natural - can't even blame it on bleach lol. Keld - ignoring it wouldn't be a bad move since there are 294 calories in 1 serving in the one that I have in my cookbook... BUT the dark chocolate one I substituted made it only 229 hahaha! Its so good that getting through a whole serving would be impressive. I munched on mine thoughout the day yesterday and still didn't get through the whole piece.
