Big Day..

So, I had an eventful and very productive day so far. I made a few frostings for the wedding and was planning on shipping them with the large cake and smallest cake this morning. After viewing the FedEx website, I was under the impression that I could just zip on by FedEx and they would pack my box with dry ice and I would be set!..well, I ASS-U-MEd this, and of course, you know how THAT saying goes. SO, I arrived at FedEx to be told that they had no cool storage or dry ice, so I had to pack my things myself in a cooler that I had to buy (which will come in handy on the next roadtrip...) and, I also had to go to the Purity Ice Cream Parlor to buy a 6 pound block of dry ice. Of course, I had to take care of something more pressing before I could get to Tar-geh (my favorite store) to buy this cooler. I had to run my longest training run yet, a 20 miler! Of course, I spent the first hour of the run fretting over the frosting situation, but I think the run actually helped calm me down a little bit. And, having that under my belt, I was able to relax and focus on the larger task at hand. SO, as of just recently, I have handed off my HEAVY and quite chilly cooler and en-trusted FedEx to make sure that my cakes and frostings arrive on Wednesday all in one piece....on to the next project, baking the chocolate cakes....
