a harp, a viking, and cake
I don’t have a full post today because I stayed up all night last night reading a book about Wall Street. I mean, all night. Until seven in the morning. That’s really stupid. I am dead to the world right now.
But since I am too dead to write, I thought I’d share something else. Some of the recent photos that I’ve received from readers and quietly added to the Cake Gallery without letting anyone know. I’m a bad businesswoman. Maybe I need to read even more about Wall Street. Maybe I really, really don’t.
So here are a few of the awesome cake shots I’ve been getting:
Amazing, right? Send me yours!

Unroast: Today I love that I am too tired to look in the mirror.
P.S. Congratulations/mazel tov to my grandmother, who just received an award for all of her volunteer work at her local hospice! That woman is amazing. She never stops working. She also reads this blog regularly, so I know she’s seeing this. Hi, Grammoo! I’m sorry you have to read about your granddaughter’s awkwardness and body images issues and marital stuff on the internet!
P.P.S. There’s a version of my post about talking to other women about weight gain up on HuffPo. Just so people know I still appear occasionally on really big international forums, other than this blog 🙂 Wait, can you call HuffPo a forum? That sounds wrong. Maybe if people were nicer in the comments it’d sound more right.

@Rach
Just to be clear, I’m talking about HuffPo commenters, not MY commenters 🙂 And no, commenters on huge sites are almost NEVER nice. That’s what anonymity does!

Congrats to your grandma! Very cool! I just discovered your site, so hopefully I can make time to come back soon.

sites like HuffPo attract a variety of people for a variety of reasons, and some of the reasons are ugly. Your site here attracts a lot of thinkers, and empathetic supporters. If anyone floats a contrarian position on your site, they are gently persuaded to rethink their position.

YES CAKE PHOTOS 🙂 Also, I’m curious about the book on Wall Street? Do you recommend it? Can you respond with the title please?
Thank you!
