If you aren't
following me on Twitter (or were, you know,
sleeping last night), here's what you missed:

Yes, Girl Scout leader suggested cupcakes. I was relieved at first until I realized that instead of one big Girl Scout daisy, I now have to make 48 tiny Girl Scout daisies. Doh.
Why do I always think cupcakes are easier?? They're not. |
 |
| Buy one get one FREE, you guys. It was clearly a sign. |
 |
| The highlight of my night. Who am I kidding? The highlight of my week. |
 |
| Oh yeah. NaNoWriMo started yesterday. Without me. |
 |
Twitter finally responded to my cries for help.
And no, they do not have fewer calories. But I plan on telling Nike Mom they do. |
 |
| Thanks, Mom. |

| This is important because I was making all the little daisy pieces out of fondant, and without white I couldn't make any colors other than the pre-colored red and blue I had on hand...which leads to some really poor imitations of the Girl Scout daisy. |
Just for reference, this is what the Girl Scout daisy is
supposed to look like. Remember this for later:

Another link back to the Humiliation and volunteerism post.
Because seriously, if you haven't read that, none of this makes any sense.
Possibly none of this makes sense even if you have. I was up really late last night, ok? |

| AAAARRRRGHHH!!! |
And...there goes my plan to make up for the humiliation of putting my daughter's Girl Scout membership on layaway by providing a super awesome cake for Founder's Day.
The good news? They will never ask me to do this ever again.
Here's a closer shot, just so you can really see the full wreckiness. Sorry for the terrible photography, I was pretty much over it last night:
OK. Now my pride requires me to show you these, to erase those cupcakes from your memory and prove I'm legit:
 |
| I made this. |
 |
| I made this. |
 |
| I made this. |
Whew. I wonder if it would be weird to print these photos out and distribute them at the Girl Scout Founder's Day party?
