Bucking Convention

Never ones to completely comply with tradition we thawed out the top of our wedding cake and munched on it for our 2nd anniversary. Take that. It had been safely waiting for us in my Mom's giant freezer (think the kind of freezer that Laef & Aross have in their living room, except she keeps hers outside in the storage shed) for the past 2 years. Probably because we couldn't figure out how to get it to Montana but were also too sentimental to throw it away it lasted this long. And you know what, it tasted just as good as it did on our wedding day, maybe even better, i really can't remember any more at this point. I also went to the storage unit and retrieved the old cakestand/punchbowl (see old debate regarding this doubly useful apparatus) which Zeb had forcefully made me pack away when we got back to Oregon under the pretense that "we never use it." Ohhhhhh, how wrong he was.

I had to work today, so we had decided that we would celebrate our anniversary on Monday but Zeb was grumpy for most of the day because he had contracted a gnarly bout of heartburn from drinking a glass of iced tea at a church BBQ on Sunday. (I don't know why he drank it, iced tea ALWAYS gives him heart burn!) Then we sort of just puttered around for the rest of the day, I did some laundry. That evening Zeb went to Damon's to play Wii (wii would like to play) and I finished off the night watching the Bachelorette alone. Today as I half-way hoped for an anniversary do-over, Zeb went golfing with a buddy and then brought MY CO-WORKER lunch. Yes thats right, on our anniversary, my husband brought lunch (a calzone) to my co-worker, and I had a pepperoni & cheese hot pocket for lunch. HA!

Don't get me wrong, I don't say any of this to complain, in fact I find it hilarious. That's just us. If either one of us really cared about all the pomp and circumstance of the day, we would do something about it. You never know, maybe next year we'll get all gussied up and do a big production for the anniversary, but we'll be just as likely to spend the evening watching Hell's Kitchen. (thats what we're going to do right now)

Happy Anniversary Zeb!

Happy Anniversary!

One year down and the cake stand/punch bowl is still in full effect. And they said it would never last.....

We got this carrot cake to celebrate since the top layer of our wedding cake that we saved is still in my mom's freezer. Good stuff.

Question of the Day: Cake Stand/Punch Bowl....Doubley Uselful or Doubley Useless???

On our wedding registry we asked for a cake stand/punch bowl & we got it! However, ever since we got it, there has been a non-stop debate about the practicality of this item. I say that it has two functions and is doubley usefull. Zeb, says that I will never use it, and that it is, as Damon puts it "doubley useless."





For the record, this is the third cake that has been put on this cake stand, in only 3 months of ownership. Admittedly, I have not made punch in it yet. So now, I am opening up the blog for comments regardling the usefulness of the Cake Stand/Punch Bowl. Solve this debate once and for all for us!

And, NO, I did not decorate the Red Sox cake.
