Day 14: Cake

I love cake.  You know the saying “love something like a fat man loves cake,” well I am the fat man and I do love cake.  This week cake and I met three times. 

First there was the birthday party for the Vice President of my company. How do you say to your Vice President, “oh no I am not going to eat any of YOUR birthday cake.”  Answer: you can’t.  Okay that maybe an excuse but come on, its cake and it was good.  It has been a while since my old friend cake and I just hung out and talked about old times.

Then I got home and what do you know, but its also my father-in-laws birthday.  I can’t disappoint family now can I.  I mean, it’s like Cake said, “Birthdays only come around once a year.”  So true!  Cake and I sat at the table discussing how much we liked catching up at my Vice Presidents birthday celebration. 

Lastly my niece graduated from high school.  What is a graduation without cake.  Cake and I hugged each other and fell into conversation so easily.  Cake is such a good friend.  It was so good seeing Cake that mere words can’t describe how it made me feel. 

Three times in one week is hard though, I mean cake is rich, if you know what I mean (as in Cake didn’t get that way honestly).  It may not have been so bad had it been spaced out but Cake and I saw each other three times in the same day!

You know how Cake is, we have all had out moments with Cake.  Sometimes Cake can tell sad stories and you sit there with tears falling into your icing knowing that no matter what happens Cake will be there for you, Cake will make it all better.  Cake is also there for fun like birthdays and life events.  I could celebrate everyday with Cake except that Cake shows up when you don’t want to see Cake. 

That brings me to today and when I stepped on the scale.  Cake showed up again like a mafia don I owe some favor to.  Vinnie and Guido stood behind me and even though I wanted a lower number on the scale they put their toe on it making the weight go up.  Not much but +.2 is big when it should be going down.  Then I couldn’t help but think what it would have been had I not done any exercise.   +2 or even +4. 

This week when I see Cake walking down the street with Donuts and Candy running up to kiss it’s sweets mafia ring I am ducking into a dark alley way and hiding until he passes.  I know we will meet again but I want it to be on my terms not Cake’s.  After all if Cake breaks both my legs because I can’t do Cake some favor I am not going to be able to exercise and all the fun that is this blog will come to an end.
