Wreckin' For a Cause

My laugh-a-day site is Cake Wrecks: When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong. When I first found it I went back to the very first post and read every single gruesome, pathetic attempt at confection perfection. Sometimes I laugh right out loud on seeing the latest post, and I have to show everyone around me (although some may not be suitable for children). Here are some examples of just a few of my favorites.

[shudder]

You say you're 29? Liar, liar, dress on fiiii-er!

And here is what the bride ordered:

and here is what the bride got:

Really. This was a real wedding cake.

The site has quite a following (around 80,000 people). From now until Christmas, Cake Wrecks will be using their influence to donate $200 of their own money every day to a different charity, while asking their fans to each donate $1. Only one dollar a day for 14 days, and we get to be involved in something monumental. Today's charity is Charity: Water, an organization that drills wells for people with no access to clean water. If you've been looking for a way to give this season, consider being part of this important project. And who can't afford a dollar?

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
