They're Waiting for the Sun to go Down

Today was so wonderful! I actually got to ride my bike outside.. I haven't been able to do that in forever! I had to wear a light jacket but it was still so perfect and lovely! Plus, I was reminded how out of shape I am now. Winter equals cold equals inability to ride bike equals frog equals out of shape Ali. It's a cycle that happens every winter (note: frog is a very important element and without it, self combustion may occur).



This friendly fellow perched so beautifully on a window outside our house today. Actually, he wasn't friendly at all, because when I said, "hello!" he scuttled away from me as quick as a tumbleweed past the saloon yee haw (*getting into character). How very rude of you, mister cat sir. Or ma'am. I never got a clear look.

Oh and also! on my last post, I got 20 comments and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has commented and been so very nice to me all the way along! Especially my followers, I love you all dearly! That many comments I had never even dreamed of getting (or even getting followers, haha! 8 is a lot for me).. I cannot thank you all enough! Plus I thank the ever most stylish lady over at Fashion She Says for this delicious looking award:

Such fuzzy feelings today!

Oh! plus, here is a worm cake I recently made in honor of one of my friends coming back from Calirfornia. It's a dark chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing and crushed up Oreos and gummy worms.. yay, dirt cake! It's nothing special but I remember seeing it in a magazine when I was a wee grasshopper and have wanted to make one ever since, so now my child persona is satisfied and I am ready to move into adulthood!!.. okay, maybe not.

Look, Ma--No Red!

I'm so proud of myself! I finally wore black and white without wearing red.. this calls for a celebration! /gets out a bunch of peacocks. Celebraaaate!

Sooo, whenever I can make a cake for a project, I make a cake. Last year for biology, I made plant cell cupcakes with my buddy. For history this year, I made "Britain" for the Battle of Britain in World War II. I tried to make it as accurate as possible. Yes, didn't you know Great Britain only had four trees and three buildings on their entire island? Obviously someone needs to brush up on their history! At the very end of explaining my cake, I dumped milk dud "bombs" on it, completely covering the cake. I found it to be quite fun ruining something that took so long to make, haha!

And last year's plant cell cupcakes..
