Well, no sooner do I get home from Christmas vacation than it becomes all too apparent that I spend little or no time with children on a regular basis. In other words one of my darling nieces or nephews got me sick. Chest cold has morphed into a horrible sore throat and a head cold. Don't ask me why it went backwards, but it did. It's been quite the fortnight for the husband and myself as far as illness is concerned: he had a cold last week; he got a stomach bug earlier this week when we were in Omaha and I now have a cold.have your cake and read more too!

Two things for rabid commenter, and all around Cake Eater Fan, Russ from Winterset: 1. The husband and I looked south yesterday when we passed the sign demarcating the beginning of Madison County, IA, as if just by glancing to the southeast we could catch a glimpse of the MASSIVE Winterset skyline. We thought of you. Briefly. And then we kept going. Sorry about that. Our bad. 2. When the hell is Iowa State playing? I'm too lazy to go looking and I know you'll know.

I simply cannot believe y'all stuck around this long without any fresh content. Either I'm really pathetic. Or....{insert drumroll here} you, my devoted Cake Eater readers, are pathetic. And, really, my devoted Cake Eater Readers, do we really want to go there? On either count. I think not. I'm freakin' exhausted right now, but blogging will resume shortly. Like later in the day. Cheap thrills will be available for all and sundry at that time. In the meantime, I'm going to go and load some eggnog up with cheap brandy. Cheers!

{ed. This post will stay at the top until the 25th} I shall leave you, my devoted Cake Eater Readers, with my smiling seven-year-old face to warm your heart with holiday cheer. Yes, that's me. I already know I look like a boy, so you needn't tell me.have your cake and read more too!

Hello all, This is Christi, the Cake Eater Sister. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and you are not going too crazy getting ready. On that note, I just wanted you to know that I will be very busy in the next few days cleaning and baking for my sister, Kathy the Cake Eater. You see, she and the Cake Eater husband will be coming to stay with us for Christmas. There is much to get ready, since I have put off any cleaning for over three weeks.
