okay...it's not exactly a peacock cake, but I tried. I looked for a seal cake too...no go *wink*
I know, odd title - but we're astro geeks and we've got a lot of wonderful, watery crabs who live in Chicago.
I used the event as an excuse to make my best cake, a triple chocolate layer cake with chocolate butter-cream frosting (recipe credit to Cedar of NM who gave this to me during Feri training). I got creative and made a little crab out of fruit as decoration. I was particularly pleased with myself and secretly gloated over his cute little raisin eyes.
Hey...it's the little things.
See the cake and gorgeous crabs ( behind the cut )
Kisses to you on your gorgeous, gorgeous lips!

Happy birthday to
muddy_slush, my birth-date-mate and divine twin!
I cannot tell you how much you are missed my dear, or how many times per week I have the following conversation:
Me: "....blah, blah, random thing, blah...Tony"
*beat*
Other: *sighs with bittersweet smile on face* "Ahhh...Tony"
*beat*
Me: *sighs in response and remembers...* "Yes, Tony"
I was trying to pick out a favorite memory of you today my dear and I cannot pick just one. I remember how we met in tarot class - how I introduced my Moon to your Hermit in the most crass of ways. I remember all the community work we did for ChiRe - all the joy, all the frustration. I remember, dearly, all our Feri work together (and remember you rocking' Thorn's "Vault of Heaven" chant until I almost wet myself). I remember getting lost with you and Thorn in the snow and eating at that crazy Elk-lodge place. I remember doing devotional dances with you at the park; the wind dancing with us and me thinking how lucky I was to be so comfortable with a spiritual partner. I remember how much you did to support me through the break up, how you moved almost all of my things, held me while I cried and gave me centered feedback from a compassionate but clean place.
I cannot pick one memory of you my dear...there are too many good ones.
SO HEY! LJ KIN! Do you have a memory of
muddy_slush that you'd like to share to remind him how much he is loved? If so - post it to your journal or comment here. :)

Happiest of Birthdays to
P.S. I tried to find an image of a cake with a Vesica piscis on it, but it was a no go...so you're stuck with the castle cake...

I adore you...may your day shine bright (and not lay eggs).

(The cake above is a musical cake. It's not the harp cake I sought in honor of you, but it did make me think of you and your amazing gifts).
