Everyday Randomness

Wow I really don’t know what I’m going to do with all this stuff.

When Grandma said my SIL and I could split the kitchen stuff, I really didn’t think there’d be much to split.  After Hubby’s parentals finished cleaning out Grandma’s apartment today they were supposed to take the boxes that didn’t fit in the truck last night to their house.  We had planned to go to their house tonight so I could load the rest of the kitchen stuff in the Blazer.  I was thinking there would be maybe 3 or 4 more boxes.

Boy was I wrong.

My MIL decided to be nice and drive all the way out here (45 minutes) to deliver the stuff that was left for me to pick up, so she didn’t have to take it out of her car then load it back up in ours.  Now I see why.  I have 13 boxes of nothing but kitchen stuff sitting in my office right now…on top of the stuff I brought home last night and put away today.

I’m not talking a couple pans in each box.  I’m talking one box is full of nothing but cookie sheets.  Another is full of nothing but cake pans, another is cake decorating stuff…the list goes on and on.  I really don’t know where I’m going to put all this stuff…or if I’ll ever get around to using it for that matter.

My number one priority is to go through my cabinets and throw away everything that I really shouldn’t be using anymore…like my old cookie sheets that get lined with foil when I need to use them because they’re rusted.

Now I can pull out all the cake decorating stuff my Grandma gave me last year, too.  I haven’t use it b/c I just haven’t felt like investing in the pans I’d need to bake the awesome cakes.

I need to work on my icing rose skills again.  I learned to make those when I was really young…it was how my Grandma kept me busy in the summer.  It’s been years since I actually decorated a cake though.  My Grandma has also retired her skills due to her hands.  The last cake she decided to make was my wedding cake 5 years ago…the one you see pictured.

I’ll know I’ve got a better photo around here somewhere.  I’ll share it when I find it because I don’t like this one as much.  This was before she had everything adjusted, so the cake looks like it’s leaning a bit.
