good times and bad

it's been hectic over here.

last tuesday, we got news that my grandfather passed away. i loved that man. what's sadder is that i was unable to attend his funeral the following friday, due to being completely broke (he lived in Cali). if i didn't have a shitter as a vehicle, it would have been possible. i was terribly upset. the morning of his funeral, i was in a foul mood, i cried, i took many showers (i like to think a lot during my showers). i decided to keep myself busy to present a positive attitude for the girls, so i happily baked a birthday cake for billie, as we were going to do a little shindig for her at my mother in law's the next day.

here it is:

..and i'm pretty proud of it. also, it was delicious:



see? you can tell by that look in her eye, that it was shockingly good.

here are a couple others from the birthday:

happy birthday my darling <3

momma loves you sooo much.
