iCing on a cake

Yes, Joanne is bringing us all together again. Hooray! How's life over there, btw?

What's everyone doing tomorrow? I'm thinking about playing some open mic down at Granville Island and I kinda don't want to go alone the first time... anyone want to accompany me? Gee, I should totally ask you guys earlier. Maybe I'll phone pplz tomorrow.

Ann, I think the best thing to do is just ask her what she wants. Does she just need time to herself or want some comforting? If I were her, I'd probably just want to be alone for a bit, but that's because I like being alone.

Chels: is it okay if I come by tomorrow to pick up the DVD player? I called your house earlier tonight, but no one picked up, so I assumed you guys were out having Mother's Day dinner or something.

Speaking of Mother Day, I made my mommy a cake that says "Happy 媽媽 Day" on it (yes, I wrote chinese on the cake with icing. Much harder than I thought.) with little pink and red heart-sprinkles on it. When my mom came home and I presented the cake to her, she sort of just stared at me and at the cake for a few seconds, and I didn't know if she liked it or not (it's kinda messy... I know! I'll a picture!) but sort of reluctantly accepted it. She still hasn't eaten it though... but she's eaten chips and an orange, so maybe she just doesn't like sugary stuff. Whatever. I spent pretty much half an hour to find this cool cakepan we had and phoned two people, only to find out that it's at my dad's place, leaving me to use these other boring cakepans at our house. I guess a cake isn't very practical. I agree with the rest of you about the practical thing, since my mom also is like that.

Lily: you could always buy some sunflower seeds (if you can find them), plant it, and grow it and then give it to Jon's mom. That's somewhat more meaningful than just buying a flower, at least to me.

What's everyone doing nowadays? Are all of you (Annie, Chels, Lily, and Dan too, i guess) taking summer courses? Wanna plan another something soon? have you started thinking about what you want to do for your birthday, Lily? (if anything, of course)

Wow, our blog is in full swing. Good job Joanne!
