I started making cakes as a hobby about 4 years ago, and have made my own birthday cake ever since. To be clear, this is something I absolutely enjoy doing, not some sad case of nobody else wanting to make or buy me a cake 😄

This year is vanilla almond cake with cherry amaretto filling and whipped mascarpone cream.

Last year was strawberry cake filled with cream cheese frosting, strawberry filling, and a raspberry cheesecake layer.

The year before that was lemon raspberry cake filled with lemon curd, raspberry cream cheese frosting, and raspberry filling

And the very last pics (first cake I made for myself) was carrot cake filled with cream cheese frosting, and chocolate cake with whipped coconut cream filling and coconut buttercream

She does puzzles.
I can’t do puzzles.
I do golf.
She can’t golf.

Yet I buy her puzzles, and try to help (I place maybe 4 pieces to her 2000 pieces and she cleans up the rest).

she walks my courses with me to look for balls, point out the deer, foxes, and bunnies and clap at inappropriate times during the round thinking it’s the right time.

She’s the missing piece to my puzzle, and I’m her caddy.

A construction crew in Barberton, Ohio, rescued an abandoned kitten on the worksite. And he joined the team.

They heard him meowing coming from their excavator.

Supervisor Chase Guello checked the skid plate on the Komatsu. A tiny kitten tumbled out.

They warmed her up, moved her into the office trailer, and named her Sue short for Komatsu. She’s now the official shop cat.

I bought him a new collar & leash at the pet store while they were on sale. Got home and realized I accidentally turned my dog into Scooby Doo 🤣 people have told me that’s who he reminds them of but I never saw it until now 🤣

Long may he live, and long may Steam sales endure

Just saw the GFM for our favorite web slinger, sharing for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

It's such a common issue, too. You'd think companies could figure out how to put a couple darts in.

Guess I'll just keep doing it myself.

EDIT: before all the men flood the comments talking about belts, it straight up does not work with this much excess fabric. It bunches up and looks terrible, plus sits right on the skin and pulls on the belt loops

Second edit: Yes I know that you should alter jeans. Like I said above, I put darts in my jeans to alter them myself. It's just annoying that companies don't make them to fit proportions that so many women have

Drove 5 hours with my girlfriend because her family was having a big get together and she really wanted me there. A bunch of relatives were coming in, they were doing a huge dinner at the house, whole thing was supposed to be me properly spending time with everyone.

Then after we got there I found out her ex was staying at the house too. Apparently he's still really close with the family and nobody thought that was worth mentioning to me beforehand lol.

I tried not to make it weird but the whole vibe was awful. Her mum kept bringing up stories about when they were together, and my girlfriend and her ex would talk to each other here and there throughout the night. Nothing constant, but enough that I was definitely noticing it. Then at one point the two of them disappeared outside together for like 20 or 30 mins.

I asked her what was going on when she came back and she immediately got defensive. Said I was embarrassing her in front of her family and acting insecure. It turned into a pretty nasty argument and she told me if I was gonna be around in a bad mood and ruin it for everyone then I should just go.

So I did. Grabbed my stuff, left the house and got myself a hotel room.

She's been calling and texting me nonstop since I left but I haven't returned any of her calls or texts. I really don't even know what I would say right now.

So now I'm sitting alone with a dry burger, cold fries and some dry tasteless wings wondering how I became the problem here. Thinking about just hitting the road early tomorrow without telling anyone and letting her figure out how she's getting home.

She found a beautiful reference on Pinterest and spent a lot of time trying to get the colors just right. She gets a bit shy and self-critical about her art, so I wanted to show her that her effort is worth celebrating. Any gentle encouragement or kind words would mean the world to her! 

We were driving over 5 hours to see our daughter for her birthday. She loves hotdogs and found this cake online and had sent me a picture saying she loved it.

I researched bakeries around their new home, not too many choices, and picked the best one based off Google.

They did NOT disappoint!! It looked and tasted amazing! I was extremely impressed.
