Things just got cute around here.  Like way too cute.  As in red sprinkle hearts and gold disco dust cute.

But it’s all for a good reason, because it’s Valentine’s Day.  The day to celebrate love and kisses.  Throw some hugs in there too.

Usually, Jon and I are those people. You know, the ones that venture out to a nice restaurant with the fixed menu and every table packed.  And guess what?  Thus far, every one of those dinners has been lovely.

This year we did things a little differently, we opted for the apartment instead.  And I made dessert.  Except I ate it before Jon got home. These things happen.

This is the epic tale of Jon’s birthday cake.

Every year Jon and I make each other a cake for our birthdays.  This year Jon stated he wanted chocolate cake, so off I went to Sweetapolita’s blog to find the perfect cake to make him.

I think Jon is plotting to take over the world.

Yes, the entire world.

You see, normally Jon reads fiction. ­­Things like Tom Robbins and Junot Diaz, among, many, many other innumerous authors.  Then things suddenly changed.   A couple of nights ago we were both in bed reading our respective books and as I start dozing off I read the header of his page “Supernatural Numbers.”  My mind quickly started turning, “Why is my husband reading about Supernatural Numbers? Muy strange…”  And then, the next day in the mail a book arrives that he ordered. Its title you may ask? “Discrete-Time Signal Processing.”   Ummm, yeah.   What the heck is going on?
