    Cake is glorious <3 My favorite simple cake is yellow cake and chocolate frosting. It's what my mom made most often when I was a kid. So yummy.

    As a child, that was one of my favorites! I mean, there was no cake I didn't like but ya know...

    My least favorite was vanilla cake with vanilla icing and vanilla ice cream. I thought it meant plain. Now as an adult...that combo is by far my favorite. I definitely appreciate simple but very well done nowadays rather than overdone...at least dessert-wise...at least most of the time! I still indulge in overdone, trust me...but the pleasure of of something simple but good is something I never appreciated until adulthood.

    I have a really good recipe for a simple chocolate cake, and another for a whipped frosting made with sugar and butter...just...hnnnggg. The last time I made it I added Nutella to the frosting to make it chocolate...omigosh...

    So I just had a guy check in and he made a slightly snarky comment about how "I'm tryin' to slow down and I'm getting energized by you being so awake." I was like "Well, this is my morning soooo...." This isn't the first time someone has made a comment like that. I'm by NO MEANS a chipper person but I do move fast. I'm confused though...just because you're tired and it is the end of the day for you, I'm supposed to be in the same mood/state of mind? Huh...probably another thing only thirdshifters encounter...

    I don't get why people care about how quickly you do or don't move. If anything, they ought to be glad you're getting them checked in quickly.

    I get annoyed constantly by how slow others move because I move waaaay too fast but I'm aware that it is MY problem by being annoyed by it...not them being slow (or normal paced)...so I never say anything or show displeasure (except to my family...they hear me say "chop chop" ten times a day) for them to know I'm annoyed. I guess I expect the same. Maybe my speediness annoys you but it surely doesn't give you the right to dictate how I should conduct myself! When I worked 2nd shift, I was praised by guests frequently for my "efficiency" but on 3rds it is not appreciated. Still...keep it to yourself buddy...

    I like it when I get off in the mornings, go to a restaurant or bar that opens early, like at 9 or 10AM and starting laying back the alcohol. The whispers and stares from other people.

    That's funny. We go out to eat sometimes at the end of a shift and get stares when we are asking for dinner food at 9 AM. :smile:

    I just had a profound thought... figured I'd share as it's not even often that I have /a/ thought. ;)

    Mom's coming this weekend, wants to celebrate birthday at the end of the month, which means... cake! Always something fancy like cannolo, black forest or the like. I'm thinking this year a simple chocolate or vanilla... because it seems to me that fancy is overdone, that something so simple is now the extraordinary.

    Also, happy birthday!

    I know the feeling. I can remember running errands thinking, "Am I the only person who actually needs to get somewhere?"

    Our favorite Mexican joint serves whatever food whenever so it will be 9 A.M. and I'm over there drinking a margarita and eating a torta while everyone is sipping on coffee over chilaquiles.

    This is MY kinda place right here. :grin:

    Also...I totally had Whataburger tonight. SSP is trying to make up for a boo-boo that I don't think I'm going to let him come back from. I think it's run it's course and I'm going to use part of my tax refund to buy an expensive new toy for myself. :mrgreen:

    These poor folks. They have been trying to nurse this poor thing and turns out the kidneys are gone. 4 AM and they are needing to put it down. A long night for them isn't going to get any shorter. I feel bad for them.
