Happy 30th Birthday, LaughWithMe!
Back in the day, before the Reunion Tour- I did my best to write daily. I pulled my content from everywhere in order to keep to my deadline. I wrote out lists and shared daily events, linked to things I found interesting, funny or moving and posted photos and illustrations.
One of my favorite regular entries were for birthdays. There were few things better than as a birthday approached, plotting how I could get the most people aware of the birthday and try to make it fun. When the birthday arrived, seeing my entry join others' celebrating that birthday was fantastic. It was like hopping from party to party.
Thankfully, Dessie is having a birthday today. And as we all know, she is a master baker. With that in mind, I thought I'd throw a Birthday Cake Making Party. Make sure to wish LaughWithMe the best birthday in the world!

The first step to making a delicious birthday cake is finding the right recipe. Look to your trusty cook book for ideas or a family favorite.
Ideally, you know if a cake is delicious and you can bake it prior to the important day. If you're as good a baker as LaughWithMe, feel free to try this advanced recipe. She probably doesn't even need a recipe. She can walk into a kitchen and make it sing.
First things first, make sure you understand the recipe.
Get your measuring cups and spoons...
then all your ingredients. Make sure you have the appropriate amounts. You don't want to get half way through and stop to run to the store. Got them?
Good. Now toss that shit into the mixer.
Unless you're going for Michelle Obama arms, then you might want to mix it up by hand for a few hours.
How do you feel? Strong? Groovy.
Usually after you mix all the ingredients together, recipes ask you to pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Place it carefully into a preheated oven.
How long you wait is determined by the recipe, but a good rule of thumb is bake the cake for as long as it takes to tell yourself You Are The Best Cook and believe it. If you have to, repeat it over and over.
Ding! Your done.
Doesn't the cake look beautiful?
Yes. Yes it does.
What'cha get?

A Day Late & A Dollar Short
I was away from my computer most of yesterday. Chilly and I were indisposed for reasons I shan't go into at this time. All that aside...

You may not know this but Laughwithme loves polka, the LA Times and watching reruns of C.O.P.S. Actually, I may not know that either. But I do know she enjoys a good party and even though I don't have one of those, I may have a semi-good party up my sleeve.
Pop the balloons to see what you get!
What'cha get?

Setting the Tone
laughwithme says:
What I want to add is that you shouldn't force yourself to write. Let a post come naturally and make sure the sentences flow. Write as if you were speaking to someone. This also depends on what you are writing about.
If you are expressing political opinions (and want replies or start a discussion), make sure you explain why you feel a certain way or support your views with facts. If possible, provide examples. Refrain from name calling - unless it's a humorous piece or you're using sarcasm.
If you are telling a story, you can use less formal language and tell it as if you were speaking to a friend and explaining to them the situation. Expressing emotions sometimes is hard, so try to stay clear of using cliches.
