I finished my cake decorating class tonight. I enjoyed meeting new people and learning new techniques but won't take another class until the smell of sugar doesn't disgust me anymore. ICK! I was worried that taking the class would lead to excessive snacking, but it has led to the opposite - it has led to disliking cake and things associated with it. I used seedless raspberry jam for my cake filling and even that tasted gross to me when I tried some on a piece of toast.

The weather here has been beautiful and I've gone walking three times this week, each day seeing a few of the mammas I've met in the neighborhood. The trees aren't blooming, but the the grass is tufting and the first yard pickup day of the year is just around the corner! This is my favorite time of the year in New Jersey.
