Why am I still awake at 2AM??

So, I'm sitting here drinking my hot chocolate, watching TV and I think to myself - I haven't looked at my OWN blog in FOREVER! I came on over and what did I find - 3100 views - REALLY?!?! On my boring, never make a new post blog?!?!?!? cool.....

Things are just going around here. I feel like the only time I blog is when I have something to complain about - so, here goes...

If you've read my blog before you know that I had my esophagus replaced when I was 9 and follow up surgeries after that etc... and that last year I was in the hospital because I couldn't swallow anything following an endoscopy. Well, last month I ended up in the hospital b/c I couldn't swallow anything because I coughed too hard and my esophagus swelled up. Long story short (too late! haha), I had a swallowing test done last week just to see what was going on. Yesterday I felt my throat starting to swell up again (for no reason at all this time) - it wasn't hospital bad, but bad enough that I called my GI doctor (Dr. D). He looked at my swallowing test and deemed another endoscopy with dillitation necessary.

Monday is my big day! Monday afternoon I am going in for my proceedure - needless to say, I'm a little FREAKED out given the results from last time.

Enough bad medical news - on to the explaination of the title - why AM I still awake at 2AM? I am a hobby cake decorator and a good friend asked me to make a Minnie Mouse cake topper for a cake that she is making for her daughter. Of course I said - SURE! Now I would like to go back in time and kick myself!

Bet you didn't know that Minnie Mouse is a pain in the a$$! I have worked on her for over a week and tonight I went to work on her head etc (my figures are made out of fondant/gumpaste and are 100% edible) and noticed that not only had her leg broke, her shoes cracked and her bow fell off her shoe, plus she was leaning as if intoxicated. I informed my friend of the issue and tried to salvage 3d Minnie, it didn't work. So, I moved on to make a 2d Minnie - DISASTER - don't ask why - I don't know, it just didn't work, AT ALL!

So, I took a deep breath, said a prayer and when to Cakecentral (cake decorators bible online - hehe!) And what do I see on the HOMEPAGE - 3d Minnie Mouse! It was a little bit different than the way I wanted her to look, but hey - God sends a message and I listened! I am proud to say that after a week Minnie Mouse is 90% complete. I decided that I had had enough for one day and sat down to drink my hot chocolate, remembered my blog etc etc etc.....

Now that the hot chocolate is gone (to my hips) I am going to B-E-D.

Goodnight my 3100 readers - thanks for stopping by!
