i am leaving for the beach, leaving in too few hours and not quite packed, but i just wanted to put it out there that i think i have more than redeemed myself from the unfortunate madeleine affair of a few months ago. poof! it is gone from your mind.
many cupcakes were eaten today by me and the kid. she’s three!, as she keeps reminding us, and to celebrate, my olds are taking us to the sunshine coast — golden beach, to be exact. we will paddle in sheltered waters, dig moats in the sand, eat hot chips by the bucket (and the same quantity, probably, of ice cream). we will pick strawberries, and maybe see bindi irwin. maybe.
yesterday i discovered that it is possible — just, and only because my mum made dinner and took the kid to the park, so maybe it is not possible after all — in a day, to finish off a print deadline, build a suite of kiddie ikea furniture, and bake a batch of red velvet cupcakes. if you leave the cream cheese and butter out on the counter overnight (and not think too much about the cockroaches that prowl the kitchen in the dark), it will be the right consistency to whip up a bowl of frosting first thing in the morning, for the first birthday breakfast cupcake.
see you in a bit.

suze: after rereading this comments box a couple of times, i have just realised that you said “mauve”. HAHA. i hope you suffer no ill effects from the sudden intake of ragingyoghurt archives. was it like when keanu absorbs the training modules in “the matrix” through a big needle in the back of his head? 😀
