My youngest sister called. She has some Easter stuff for my daughter from my mom (we didn't go to the family Easter because H & I were still getting over some sinus/upper respiratory thing that was pretty contagious). We're meeting up at Nothing Bundt Cakes tomorrow, pretty much halfway between our homes. I have never been there before (and now I'm guessing I will have to buy something there, would rather not spend the money, but I'll have to have a go at whatever is cheapest). I'll get something for my daughter & H, myself I don't know, I'm really not that into bundt cakes, mini bundt cakes, the cupcake sizes, whatever. Seems like one of those mini cupcake size bundt cakes is nearly the cost of a dozen cupcakes at Walmart from the bakery, and the Walmart near me has an amazingly good bakery (in spite of the fact that it is a Walmart bakery!). Like I have this thought I I'm going to spend calories on a baked good, I want to spend the calories on something I know I'll like which would be an airy cupcake from Walmart and not a dense bundt cake; but maybe the bundt cakes aren't that dense. I'll have to talk to my sister about more what they taste like. My mom used to make dense bundt cakes, and that's pretty much what I associate a bundt cake with. I have never baked one myself or even had the desire to. And anyway, I've been much more into salty snacks lately anyway- pretzels, green olives, nuts, etc.(probably from all my outdoor walking and the sweating I do during it).

Looking forward to seeing my sister though. She is always so positive. But I definitely couldn't lead her life. She is very overcomitted nearly all the time. In fact, our visit tomorrow will be brief as it is my youngest niece's birthday, so she is cooking a special dinner for her. Which then made me apologize and tell my sister, I'd get on Amazon right after I hung up with her, because what do you know it, another niece's birthday is coming around, and I forgot to order the gift...AGAIN! I have 5 nieces and nephews and usually get them all a gift though I'm stopping it with the oldest who will be turning 19. And my sisters and I buy for one another as well. Seems like I'm always buying birthday presents!
