Day 16 in the Studio

My Monday was crazy, mishap after mishap. This is actually the first day my blog was not ready to shoot out by midnight. The day started with two loads of laundry waiting to be folded and put away, so I happily sipped my coffee while folding clothes. It was my nieces 27th birthday so I thought I would bake her a most delicious chocolate cake with decadent chocolate frosting. I set to work measuring out the ingredients for a Devil's Food cake, pretty simple right? I followed the same process I have followed for years, measuring, mixing, prepping the pan, preheating the oven. I was so happy as I put my cake in the oven, I thought okay I can put on my makeup and get ready for the studio while it bakes. I turned on my timer for 25 minutes. My cake came out beautiful and smelled delicious, after cooling I prepped my platter with wax paper strips for frosting. Then turned the cake, but wouldn't you know it Rocky came and started tugging at my leg for his baba (bottle). Crying ba ba ba ba I turned and my cake pretty much broke in two, not even salvagable. I thought okay I made double for a two layer cake, so I went through the process again of prepping the pan, back to the oven. This one was gonna redeem me, you see I had also made the mistake of posting on FB what I was up to. I really needed to deliver a cake! The second cake I was sure would be perfect, the trouble was my husband stopped in unexpectedly for lunch, my timer went off and since I always under time I knew I had about five more minutes to take my cake out. Distracted yes, I began doing other things completely forgot about my cake whoops there went cake number two. By now I needed to leave for the studio

Today was a perfect follow up to yesterdays mishap. The guys had an idea for a new song. John had me do a chant at the end of song three. Good Times still needs a lead vocal. But John felt inspired to start on a new song, as usual he asked if it was okay with that. I thought it's better than ok, I love to just listen and watch them create a new song. They interact so well that they don't need anyone but themselves. John and Sammy are both excellent singers, so again I feel privileged that these songs are for me. The beat for new song is disco all the way, I love it, this is so my era. Woohoo I love it, this songs gonna be my favorite! So sad I had to cut things short because I had to get Felice to work by four. So again until tomorrow, have a great day!
