I've got to get myself in the cake mode. Wedding season is upon me. I'll start posting pictures here to stimulate me. Don't drink coffee. Need all the stimulation I can get. The top pic is a wedding cake I made last fall. Not my kitchen. The Narnia cake was for Dana's daughter's birthday party. Had to clone the counter to hide Dr. Pepper bottle, mail and other stuff visible in picture. Stuff that I could have cropped out if that stinking lamp post hadn't been so tall.

Learned something new last night. You can't buy Advil Cold & Sinus Liqui-Gels off the shelf anymore. No, you don't have to have a prescription but you do have to go to the pharmacy window and show your i.d.

I found this out last night at 8:30 when I made a trip to Wal-mart to buy said Advil Cold & Sinus. I have these in between headaches that will not, will not go away unless I take one Excedrin Migrane and one Advil C&S. Probably some of the new products would work but I just happened on to this combination and have stuck with it.

A headache started brewing yesterday afternoon while I was in Edmond standing in the sun for an hour on the high-school's football and track field where Mike was taking pictures of the top high-school football players for the cover and inside story for a high-school athletic magazine. (I know there's all kinds of bad grammar and run-on stuff going on with that last sentence. Sorry.)

Had run out of Advil C&S on Thursday but I forgot to buy more when I was buying groceries on Friday. Of course, the Wal-mart pharmacy closes at 6 p.m. on Sundays. So I purchased a few essentials (Frosted Flakes for Ryan and Eggo French Toaster Strips for Evan). Headache was so bad I skipped the book section (gasps of shock heard round the world) and went to Wal-Greens. Got the Advil C&S Liqui-Gel card from the shelf and took it to the pharmacy window.

I was assuming that this was a new requirement passed in recent months. Guy said no, it was something that had passed a year and a half ago, but I've bought it off the shelf in the last three or four months. I was also assuming it was related to the pseudoephedrine content. All those people making up batches of meth in their kitchens. But no, you can't make meth with liquidgels. It has to be the pill form. You're just required to prove you're 18 to buy it. If I had been thinking clearly, I could have asked a few more questions. He seemed like a talkative sort of guy and my wip has a meth storyline. That's okay. Plenty of information on the web. I'm not sure I understand this, but thank goodness for 24-hour pharmacies.
