Party Favors..........

So everything went well with the shower Saturday but the start of my day did not. I woke up early that morning to finish washing clothes (I had started the night before). I went to take the load out that had dried the night before and the clothes were still wet. I remember turning the thing on and hearing it roll around. Hmmmmmmmmm I restart the machine and I hear the power going through it but the drum wouldn't roll. Great, just phluckin great. *insert scream here*

**Sidenote: Have ya'll ever seen that show "Snapped" on Oxygen? Ummm, yeah I was THISCLOSE right then....THISCLOSE. First the air in the car, now this??!!

After throwing a tantrum (ie banging my head against the wall), I calm myself down and finish washing the clothes to take to the laundromat to dry. While there, I decided to just stop worrying about it, called Z to let him know so he could look at it when he got home from work and decided to focus my energy on the shower.

Sidenote: I'm happy to report the problem was nothing more than the belt needing to be replaced and we now have a fully functioning dryer again.

I met my friend to follow her to her FIL's house so I could park my car and ride with her. She was on time meeting me but behind in getting her stuff done. I thought we were heading straight over to the house to setup but it turns out we had to stop and get the cake and a couple of other things....no biggie. She drops me off @ Party City to pick up a laddle and she rides down to Kroger to pick up the cake. It takes me all of 1 minute to find what I need and pay for it so I just walked down the sidewalk (after almost busting my butt thank you very much) to the grocery store to find her. Once we walk around getting other last minute items, we head to the bakery. Now let me preface this by saying that she said that several people had recommended the bakery to her and told her how great the cakes were. The woman pulls the cake off the rack and it looks a HOT ASS MESS! lol lol lol The first thing I notice is that one of the corners is missing icing. I mean, all you see is brown! lol My friend by this time is just real quiet. After 13 years, I know that means she's pissed. She looks at me and rolls her eyes and I just put my head down 'cause I already know she's about to say something crazy. She asks for the baker and she comes up to the front.

Friend: We've got a problem
Bakerlady: Excuse me?
Friend: This is not what I ordered. The cake is pink, I asked for peach. The trim is messy, hell it ain't even in a straight line and this corner doesn't even have icing on it.
BL: Well ma'am, the cake is peach, I can show you the color palettes we work from and how pink and peach look. I did the cake like you asked.
Friend: Well, let's say the cake is peach, which it's not, what about the trim and missing icing? I mean did you think it was finished?
*me trying to ctfu*
BL: I apologize for that
Friend: Let me......let me just.....I'll be back

So we walk off to go get some oranges for a flower arrangement she was making.

Friend: Does that cake look peach to you? I'm just trying to make sure it's not me
Me: Hell no. That's pink if I ever saw it. Now that, nodding my head in the direction of this woman I saw, is peach. Her shirt is peach. lol
Friend: lol
Me: Go ask her to go stand next to that cake so you can show that woman what peach looks like. lol
Friend: Girl what am I gonna do? I am too embarrassed to show up with that shit.
Me: Weeeellll, you need a cake but I wouldn't pay for that ish nor would I want it.
Friend: Me either

So we go back to the bakery and she proceeds to tell the folks that she doesn't want it.

Me: Ummm, so no cake?
Friend: Oh I'm getting a cake. I'm going to stop by Sam's and pick one up
Me: Can they have one ready that quick?
Friend: Yeah, if I just get a pre-made one. Hell anything beats that shit in there.
Me: You got a point

So off to Sam's we went and 20 minutes later out she comes (I waited in the car) and off to the house we went. There was a nice turnout and the bride to be rec'd some nice gifts even though several people were still rolling in after it officially ended. *rollin eyes* Now just imagine, my friend, her SIL, and myself are cleaning up packing up the food and these kneegrows are coming up in there trying to get a plate. Da hell??? I gave this one girl this look that said if you don't get the hell away from me. The funny part is we forgot all about the cake until it was over. I realized it while going back to get one of the food trays. Most people were still there so my friend made a quick "oh yeah we've got cake too" announcement and that was that. lol
