Can of Corn (a week later)

Yeah. This was supposed to post exactly a week ago. Not sure what happened, but enjoy it either way.

Today my husband and I were going to be super productive at the DMV and the bank. While he was successful, I have to return with the proper paperwork. I have never felt more like a bum though...I was asked if I had my own place, had my own vehicle and have a job multiple times and the answer to all of those questions at the moment is NO. Kell said I should introduce myself by saying I have a college degree to make myself feel better. He is so sweet. But the day wasn't a total loss. I got Chic-fil-a for lunch and I semi-successfully made my first cake from scratch. Not my first cake ever.
Cooking and baking can be calming for most but for me I get so stressed out. I read the instructions over and over in fear that I have missed a step or measured something wrong. And tonight I still did both and as a result, the cakes sunk in the muddle. They were like little cake bowls, but they still tasted good. We filled in the sink holes with a cream cheese and chocolate frosting. It wasn't a total loss. Everyone said it tasted good.

The most exciting event of the night was surprising my husband with his belated birthday present from his friends and family. A bass cab. Basically a speaker for his guitar in "real talk" terms. He was so shocked and so happy. I captured it a ll on video. It was delivered this morning while he was out playing disc golf and I moved it into the garage. After our productive day he spent the afternoon playing call of duty. SHOCKER. He had no idea that I was baking him a cake or that some of his friends came over to reveal the surprise. I told him to come down after he finished his last game and he responded with "what's down stairs?" I thought quickly and said, "um...dinner is almost ready." His friend came up after me to help speed the process. He finally came down for the big boom. I don't think he stopped smiling the rest of the night. so cute. He plugged up immediately and went straight to "slappa da bass!"

Also my mother-in-law and I started the 30 day shred by Jillian Michael's today. It sucked. And we didn't have any weights so we used canned corn. the end
