Can't you See...

That it's just rainin. Yes everyone, today it rained so hard I actually turned back to get an umbrella. Usually the rain is so light it's more like a mist that's falling. Today it was real rain. I might have been depressed except for my new enlightened attitude toward how beautiful Oregon is. On the other side I've had that Jack Johnson song stuck in my head for two days. That's what the mental association does to your brain.

So my husband's birthday is in four days. I'm pretty excited to make him the pancake cake. Also I think I'm going to get him a metronome for the banjo. I know it isn't the most interesting gift, but I think he'll like it. Now I just have to find a store that sells a happy birthday sign.

Not to sound stupid, but what is a pancake cake?

That's my family's tradition. On the morning of your birthday our family has a little family birthday party. You get to open the presents that your family gave you and we sing songs to you and you get a cake. Because it is breakfast and cake in the morning is a bad idea (especially for little kids) you get a birthday cake made out of pancakes. You cook up a pile of pancakes and then instead of taking the pancakes off one or two at a time as you normally would you get a slice of the cake. So you get up having a little triange of around 5 pancakes. You can dress it up anyway you want to.
