There is lad, his name is Mike
He has a green and black helmet to wear while riding a bike
Today he is twenty-four
Maybe he will eat some Or(eos)
Tonight we will go to Frizzy's
And we will definitely get very dizzy
Turning twenty-four is a big step
When I turned 24 Mike tied a balloon to my doorstep
Mike hates me for that last rhyme
And he will tell me to go die for the millionth time
That's just how our friendship goes
Mike Ja Rule and a buncha hoes
I should have written this in his card
I could write another one but it might be too hard
So now I will go wrap his gift
In order to make letters capital you have to press shift
Happy birthday Mike you silly swine
Tonight we will party like it's 1999

So yes my friend Ashley and I made kitty litter cake at my house yesterday in honor of poker/margarita night at her house with her, her mom and stepdad and hiking man.

We ended up abandoning the recipe pretty much and made our own green/funfetti variation which ended up looking more like a cat pooping in a garden. Oh, well. It looks gross but it was very yummy. Enjoy. :)

p.s. I really wish pictures would upload in the correct order.

It begins.

Apparently I look funny when I pour things.

One of my true loves...funfetti cake.

The litter, aka crumbled up cookies with green food coloring.

Making little corn out of lemon Tootsie Rolls.

Makes it more authentic!

And grosser.


mmmm cake.


PRETTY PUDDING.


Cooling the cakes.

Lucky, who did not move from our feet the entire process.

"Drop a cake...or a cookie...do it...just do it..."

See?


THE BOY!

Crumbling up the cakes.

The recipe calls for two whole cakes to be crumbled up and then put back together with pudding. Makes it look grosser.



Funfetti and white cake with greenish pudding.

The cake before we mushed it all down.

You're actually supposed to do it in a real litter box but a) we couldn't find one small enough and b) we didn't really care that much.


Layer 1.

Layer 2 - the "litter".

Poop?

Pudding, mmmm

A closer look.

OUR CREATION!

Before it was served with the authentic pooper scooper!

(It was new. At least, that's what I was told.)

YAY CAKE!



Hungry?!?!?!?!?! :)

it is midnight on a frrrrriday night and here i am in full fredonia gear, pj pants and hoodie, getting ready for bed. yeah that's right. my lip gloss is poppin. i don't even know what that is from but it seemed like the time to get it in this entry.

i saw othello tonight. it was an entertaining show but quite long. my favorite part was my dad doing the intermission give-us-your-money speech, especially when he was just rambling because he figured no one was listening, but i was! sometimes i think my dad is the funniest person in the world. i was seriously laughing hysterically at some things he was saying while most other people were shivering to death or avoiding the actors with the collection baggies.

summer is a-slippin by. i've really enjoyed my summer. new apartment, new kitty, new person whom i like a lot, going to the beach every day of course, and did i mention the new kitty. if you haven't seen him already, go over to (e:anne) 's journal for a peek (or continue reading). i seriously love this cat and i am NOT a cat person. but i am in love with him. I LOVE YOU OSCAR PRESTON!!!!!

living on richmond is soooo loud. i realize it even more because i tend to spend a couple nights a week in amherst in a residential, quiet neighborhood. then i come home and i hear at least 3 fire engines and/or amublances an hour, car alarms, construction workers, random crazies outside, and of course the traffic. i'm not really complaining but i had no idea how loud it was! but i still love where we live and i'm super pumped we got our pad.

by the way i love DVR. i have DVR-ed saved by the bell on TBS for about two weeks now and it is heaven. what better way to wake up than to zack, slater, screech, kelly, jessie, lisa and mr. belding? (we won't mention the other one...) ps it's funny how many celebrities were on saved by the bell before they made it, well at least some b-list...scott wolf, christine taylor, bridget sampras or whatever her name is, ok she's really probably e-list...but of course there's also tori spelling as violet. oh and leah remini as stacey in the malibu sands episodes. there were probably others that i can't remember offhand. man saved by the bell is so fantastic. the caffeine pill episode was on a couple weeks ago. such emotion, such drama, such power. let's not even talk about the zack and kelly breakup episode.

well have i rambled enough for you? what else can i talk about?

i love la nova pizza

i love grape bubble gum

i hiked in zoar valley the other day and it was super great

i am so excited to see (e:mike) in his new glasses and new wheels.

i hate rite aid and will forever deny its existence in the eckerd on elmwood.

hiking man and i spend a great deal of time together and i like him a lot and i think he likes me a lot and that's cool.

i'm singing in the bernstein mass in the fall and that piece is f-ed up but that's the best kind of music.

i love facebook.

i love saved by the bell.

I LOVE THE KITTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
