Jars, jars, jars

Every nook and cranny of my apartment is filled with jars. My friends and I have been collecting them for use in our wedding - hopefully as hanging lanterns, but that will depend on what the fire marshal says.

In spite of having so many free jars on hand to recycle in this lovely way, I think I need to buy some jars. Cookie jars, specifically.

As I've mentioned, we're having cookies instead of cake. While the caterer will provide the cookies, he will not provide the pretty jars to put them in. And I don't usually buy my pickles and salsa in 3 gallon glass jars.

So, I'm on the lookout for cute, vintage-ish cookie jars. Preferably clear. Go forth, my jar-hunting minions...

Ok, so maybe cake would be nice...

This is the only cake that I might consider getting. :)

Ode to Cake Wrecks

OK, so it's way past my bedtime, but I just couldn't stop. I read every single post by Jen of Cake Wrecks. Sco got home and walked in while I was looking at what is probably the funniest post on there. It's called Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys. 'Nuff said. Sco and I laughed until we cried. He fell asleep, but I pressed on until I reached the very end.

Thanks for the good times, Jen.

And this is why I don't want cake...

So, I stumbled upon this little gem today. I cannot believe some of these cakes! Check out http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/


I was laughing out loud. Unless I'm hanging out with really funny friends, I don't do that often. You have to look at all of them. Especially the baby shower ones... and the foot ones. Why? And P Diddy's record label's anniversary cake! I can't get over it. So funny. And sad. But more funny. The commentary is really what makes it so hysterical to me. The August 8th post has the funniest commentary.

Honestly, I don't like cake that much. I hate icing. Cookies are to die for. Especially chocolate chip. I really want cookies instead of a wedding cake. And milk. I'd have an assortment of cookies, artfully arranged, but no cake. Plus, wedding cakes are SOOOOO over-priced. I want something different and something I will really like.
