Birthday Blues...

SO, Jamie's birthday is coming up...and it's a BIG one! On June 26th Jamie will be turning 30! But lately, I've been frusterated....for those of you who don't know I LOVE to plan suprises. SO...with it being a new chapter for Jamie I was really excited.

First his Mum contacted me because she wanted to fly in and suprise him for his birthday...AWESOME~! Except, then with his busy work scheldule and him always traveling we (his mum and I) decided that it was probably best to let him in on the suprise so he could plan accordingly. So that's one sizzeled suprise.

Then I thought...okay...suprise party. Except...knowing Jamie he's not one to like a big fuss to be made over him...so thats two sizzeled suprises.

THEN...I started to think about birthday gifts...it came down to a great idea of new golf clubs! Whoray!! Great Idea! He's getting out to the green more and more often, back to enjoying the game. And his were given to him by his grandfather and are basically antiques....then I realized....I don't know a THING about golf! I went into a store, they asked if he played left or right..."well, he's left handed" Their response " Yes, but how does he play golf?". My brilliant rebuttle " I don't know...he takes the club and hits the ball real hard". So, I'm three for three...I had to tell Jamie:( He's excited...but still....

SO....I guess all the pressure is on the cake. Every year I make a birthday cake all from scratch and surpise Jamie..I won't even let him in the kitchen. To be honest, it makes my day with how excited he gets about something that I can do for him...it's adorable! But, OH the PRESSURE!!!!

So, if any of you have any ideas for either super awesome cakes...or other ways that I can build in more suprises to relieve some of this pressure...PLEASE let me know!
