I just baked a carrot cake!

Why? You ask? Because it's my son's first birthday tomorrow, and I am insane. My house is a mess, and I have never baked a carrot cake in my life, nor do I like carrot cake, and I've never used my Cuisenart before! So why use a complicated device to cook a complicated recipe (of course I hate myself enough to use the Alton Brown recipe) that I don't think I even like? Again, I AM INSANE! Really! Not only did I bake the cake today, I'm making the frosting tomorrow, I sewed the table cloth yesterday, as well as making a matching bib (with fringe!), and I still have to take all the crap strewn about my house to the Goodwill! At least I didn't try to hire ponies.

And it's going to rain, and the plan is for an outdoor party, which means I have to rearrange the front porch furniture so we can fit, because this party ain't comin' inside! Because the table cloth only fits the "conference" table, and I have no room for that table with my kitchen and dining room tables! That's it. Stick a fork in me, I'm done!
