i swear to god, my life is a never-ending drama, and i'm not even being dramatic. today was supposed to be a chill day, you know, just me, cosmo, and ginger, baking some cookies, having some fun, but NOOO, ginger had to go and mess everything up.
first of all, let me tell you, ginger is a great gal, don't get me wrong, but she's more of a decorator than a baker. she's got skills, but when it comes to mixing and measuring, she's a bit of a disaster waiting to happen. and today was no exception. we were trying to make this new batch of cookies, and i specifically told her to follow the recipe, but did she listen? nope. she added way too much sugar, and i mean, WAY too much sugar. it was like she thought we were making some sort of sugar-coated nightmare.
so, we take the cookies out of the oven, and they're all puffed up and looking lovely, but i can already tell something's off. and then, out of nowhere, this little pest comes crawling out of the woodwork. shrimpo. ugh, just the mention of his name makes me want to punch something. or someone. specifically, shrimpo. he's always causing trouble, always getting in the way, and always eating all our hard work. i mean, can't he just leave us alone?!
anyway, shrimpo comes sniffing around, and of course, he's immediately drawn to the cookies like a moth to a flame. and before we can even stop him, he's devoured the entire batch. i mean, it was like he had a personal vendetta against our baked goods. and cosmo, poor cosmo, was devastated. she had put her heart and soul into those cookies, and now they're all gone, thanks to shrimpo's gluttony.
i tried to calm her down, but honestly, i was fuming. i mean, how can one little shrimp be so destructive?! i swear, if i had a dollar for every time shrimpo ruined our baking session, i'd be a rich strawberry by now. and don't even get me started on ginger. she was apologizing left and right, but i could tell she was secretly laughing at the whole ordeal. like, yeah, it's kinda funny, but it's also super frustrating.
so, now we're back to square one, starting from scratch, and i'm trying not to be too hard on ginger, but it's hard when you're dealing with someone who's just not as passionate about baking as you are. i mean, i live for this stuff. it's my lifeblood. and when someone comes along and messes it up, it's like they're messing with my heart.
cosmo, on the other hand, is being super sweet about the whole thing. she's always so understanding, and she knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. we spent the rest of the evening just chillin', making out, and talking about our next baking project. and let me tell you, it's gonna be epic. we're gonna make the most divine strawberry shortcake the world has ever seen, and shrimpo can just... well, he can just stay away.
speaking of which, i think i might just have to have a little chat with shrimpo. you know, about boundaries. and personal space. and not eating all our cookies. again. ugh, just thinking about it makes me want to... yeah, you know. shrimpo, you've been warned.
anyway, that's my rant for the day. i hope tomorrow is a better day, a day without shrimpo, a day with perfectly baked cookies, and a day with lots and lots of cosmo.
