Windy’s Not a Baby Anymore
Fun, Windy April 7th, 2009
That’s right! Our little Windy turns one year old on Wednesday and I’m celebrating the day with cake and a party.
It’s not every day I order cakes for non-human entities. The poor guy at the bakery didn’t know what to make of it when I handed him a picture of Windy to put on it.
We spent a lot of time discussing what color and decorations I wanted on the cake. I thought violet and green would accent her tree quite nicely.
When we finalized the order, he said "And you want this written on it?" He held up the note I gave him at the start of my insane order.
Him: "Happy Birthday…. um….."
Me: "Windy."
Him: "Riiiight."
He told me it would cost a little extra to put her picture on it.
I said, "That’s OK. She’s worth it!"
I skipped away to do a little grocery shopping and I’m pretty sure he waited until I turned a corner, then called security and told them "Crazy lady in Aisle 9. Keep an eye on her."
I’m taking the cake to work so I don’t eat it all myself. If you work with me, swing by my office Wednesday for a piece in honor of Windy. It’ll be the craziest thing you do for a long, long while.
I mean it, too. I thought I was ordering a quarter sheet cake, but when I picked it up, I realized I ordered a half sheet. Seriously. SHOW UP FOR CAKE!
And try to excuse that the baker put Windy’s picture on upside down. Poor Windy. Stuck for a year and now hanging by her toes.
“Happy Birthday Windy, Sorry you’re still stuck!”
Stumble it!
April 7th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
OMG This is THE craziest thing I have ever seen. I LOVE it and I can’t believe she/he/it has been in the tree that long! If I worked anywhere near you I would SO be there for some cake. It looks good
Think of the stories the baker will have to tell! Hilarious
April 7th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
The craziest part of that story is your skipping through the store! I love that she’s upside down. She’s been that way most of her life.
April 7th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Is it a wegman’s cake? Can I be seen in Rauch?
April 7th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
At least you know you probably gave someone a laugh today! I would love to be able to stop by and join you for a slice of Windy’s cake.
At one of my old jobs, we held a funeral for a copier. Somewhere, there exists a photo of a big group of people, each with a hand on the dead copier, looking sad.

Oh Windy is definitely a she. A ship is a she, a car is a she, so a plastic bag must be she ;O)
This is hilarious! You’ll forever be know as ‘the mad plastic bag lady’ I love it. Just as long as you’re not known as ‘the bag lady’ (If that’s a UK expression I’ll explain)

What flavor was the cake, btw?

I wish I lived near you. I would so show up for cake! Crazy lady meets crazy lady! I would sing that old song titled Windy. You know the one that goes: Who’s tripping down the streets of the city, smiling at every body she sees? Who’s reaching out to capture a moment? Everyone knows it’s Windy!
Don’t know that song? Ask your parents. They will know it.

It’s good to know that there is another wacky gal out there!! That is sooo something I’d do to liven up work–right now we just have Cheese Stick Trivia. It involves the High School Musical 3 question on the package of my cheese stick each day. Sadly, it is the highlight of the day at the office.
Oh, don’t worry about it being upside down–that will work out great for the crowd that will be surrounding your cake! Just tell those who notice that it was meant to be that way so everyone has a good view of the cake! Words one way, picture another–you were just thinking of them.
Hope they fall for it.

Man that is way too awesome. It looks like the baker took some creative license with the photo and it came out really cool! Like a mosaic effect with the green leaves all about.
And I really cannot get over the fact that Windy has been a fixture for a YEAR!
Now the important question: Is the cake chocolate? Because I cannot tolerate white/yellow cake with white frosting. It’s a quirk, for sure, but my reality.

April 8th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Dizzblnd — But the sad thing is she won’t even know we’re having cake and a party inside. I wish you could come. There’s tooooo much cake!
ann of the junkdrawerblogfamily — It was a proud moment. Kathy was so happy. Yeah, she’s tattered and bruised, so hanging upside down is nothing for her. She’s a real trooper.
Mary Theresa — Not Wegmans, Giant’s bakery. If you can make it, we’d love to see you!
absepa — And I’d love it if you showed up. How close are you to Pennsylvania? I LOVE the funeral for the copier. See? I’m not the only crazy one who celebrates non-human entities. Awesome.
SewDucky — We shall! You can’t not have fun with cake.
The Cupcake — OK, here’s the deal about Gusty. All of his pieces were removed by, I suspect, the cleaning crew at work. They looked really messy out there and were low enough on the tree for someone to remove them. So Windy remains alone again.
Babs Beetle — I think I’m known as worse than The Bag Lady. I’m guessing there’s a group of people in my building worried about my mental health. Anyone who makes fun of me doesn’t get cake!
Jaffer — Can you believe it? A whole year! You’ve been with her since the beginning. Don’t you feel like a proud papa?
Shelly — Those are good ideas, but I hate having my picture taken. Maybe I’ll corral everyone else and have them sing to her. I can be the photographer. If I do take a picture (I also bought balloons for her), I’ll update the post, OK?
Shemah — Um, maybe don’t tell your Mom that. She’ll think I’m insane. I did buy balloons and was thinking of tying the around her tree trunk (still might do that). But I’m afraid a balloon will escape and then we have that to deal with. The cake is marble.
Mary Wehrle — And I would love to have you. The crazier the better! Yep, I know that song and lots of commenters here do too. I think that came up the last time I posted about her. Windy would love to be sung to.
Laneerg — Oh, I’m sure he told his friends about me. At least I gave him something to remember for a day that was otherwise probably very boring for him. I will be very sad if Windy takes leave of the tree. I don’t want to go there. But, yes, I will have a memorial service if/when it happens. We could have cake again.
Lin — If we didn’t have crazy things to keep us entertained at work, well, what fun would that be? I’m hoping they don’t notice. Windy would be embarrassed. Maybe I shouldn’t point it out?
The Mind of a Mom — I’ll have a piece in your name, OK? I’m sorry you’re not close enough to me. I would love it if blogger friends showed up!
Susan — Hell, yeah! I sent you directions to find me.
Louise — I dare you to sing Happy Birthday while eating it. Anyone else in your household know about Windy? Share the joy!
grannyann — Oh, that’s so great. Nothing wrong with that. I would do the same thing. I wish Windy could have an honor guard. I wish she could have a band, too. Might have done that, but you know… the economy.
Ferd — I will, for sure! Maybe I’ll get a card and sign it from all of us and tack it to her tree.
Jen — Seriously. I think I can find some occasion every day to celebrate with cake. I think your garbage can would appreciate it. Especially since you can throw out the cake box after and he/she can have a little taste.
Kelly — Keep it mind for whenever you want cake, but it’s no one’s birthday. Find something in your house that’s celebrating a birthday. No one has to know you’re insane like me.
Auntie Maureen — I don’t know what I’ll do when/if she leaves. But she’ll have to grow up some day and leave the tree she grew up in. Maybe she can fly to a forest and get a bigger apartment? OMG. I think I’ve just crossed over to the other side. The very mental side.
feefifoto — Oh! I’d love it if she showed up on that site. She might get famous! I got Windy only one candle (a big #1). That reminds me. I have to bring matches to work to light it. Yeah, full blown ceremony.
BabaBooey — Promise? Please come over for cake. Don’t let me eat it all!
Grace — I demand you go right out today and get yourself a cake. Even if it’s just a small piece and celebrate something about yourself. We all need a little recognition on our lives.
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — Absolutely. I never thought the bag story would take on a life of its own. I never thought she’d last this long either. All hail Windy!
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids — A great day for Windy is a sunny, wind-free day. I think she’ll get that today. It was miserable on Monday. She deserves a break.
mydailylist — My town, too. I see plastic bags tumbling around everywhere. I try to pick them up when I’m able. What an eyesore (except for Windy).
Wiggy — You actually made it on time. Today’s the day. She appreciates the well-wishes.
cardiogirl — I guess I should have written “top” and “bottom” on the picture. But I thought surely they’d know which way she goes. Hurumphhh! The cake is marble. Is that good enough?
Wynn — I think she might need another year before she’s ready to face the world away from the comfort of her birth tree. We shall see. The Others were removed from nearby trees a couple months ago. They hung low enough on their branches so that the maintenance people could get at them. I just didn’t write about them leaving. Good riddance anyway!
Daisy the Curly Cat — I didn’t know what to get Windy for a present. I feel like a bad mom. Cake will have to do.
April 8th, 2009 at 7:02 am
I’m thinking this might be the best cake ever.
And also, a possibility for the Cake Wrecks blog.
Happy 1st, Windy!

Happy Birthday, Windy! I’d love a slab of that cake, but I’ll have to make do with the 10-pound challah creme brulee french toast thing I have hidden in my vegetable crisper.
After cake, are you all going to join hands in a circle around Windy’s tree and sing “Windy” by The Association?
Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy
It will hardly be the most crazy thing you’ve done today.

I’m not very close to Pennsylvania, unfortunately! According to Google maps (and my guesstimate about where you are in PA) it looks like it would be a nine-hour trip from here in Kentucky. My boss is pretty good about giving time off, but I don’t know how he would feel about me heading to PA for Windy’s birthday party.
@JD: I *need* to know about “this 10-pound challah creme brulee french toast thing.”

absepa: It’s positively obscene. It’s so sweet I was actually scraping off the “brulee” part. It’s huge and dense and thick and has that lovely custardy texture of baked french toast. No need to add butter or syrup — it’s all IN there! I had some for breakfast today and it was not unlike the fettucine alfredo experience. I will probably throw it out today.

Mary at Holy Mackerel — I have to thank someone for Tweeting to Cake Wrecks about Windy. Cake Wrecks, who has 50,000 Twitter followers, retweeted it and I saw an extra thousand visitors here today. Woo hoo!
JD at I Do Things — I couldn’t get anyone to sing Happy Birthday, but we did light her candle and I blew it out for her. Now, the creme brulee thing. How ’bout we order that for Windy’s 2nd birthday? Ya with me?
Susan — Thank you so much for celebrating Windy today. It was great to see you again. Windy would have been pleased you showed up if she had a brain and understood what all this meant.
Regan — Windy appreciates the song. Alex Suarez? Am I too old to know who that is?
absepa — What? You can’t drive nine hours for a piece of cake? You disappoint me so. Hope you come back to read this comment, because JD wrote back about her delectable dessert. I want it for dinner.
JD at I Do Things — Baked french toast. You’re killing me. I think your dish trumps my cake. But, yes. It sounds like possibly too much of a good thing. Is it gone now?
staciesmadness — We thoroughly enjoyed the cake. Windy had about a dozen visitors for the party. I’ll post a picture tomorrow.
Cats~Goats~Quotes — She did! I think! I love the Windy song. So perfect for her.
Lori — Windy thanks you.
Lauren — I didn’t have the heart to say they put it on upside down. There was nothing that could be done about it anyway. Incidentally, a coworker got the Windy slice to take home to her inquisitive kids who could not understand the purpose of this.
ettarose — Oh, I had a slice alright. It was a small piece, but it was in the name of everyone who couldn’t make the party.
Joe — I am a proud Mama! I was weirdly excited when people came into the office to celebrate the day. And, better yet, no one made fun of me (at least not to my face).
Charlene — It was an awesome day. So fun and a nice change of pace from the usual drudgery. Cake DOES make everything better!
Peg at Lehigh — Would have loved to see you today. Windy had a good day. Check back tomorrow for pictures of the party.
Abbey R — Yep, hard to believe she’s in her Terrible Twos now. I hope she doesn’t give me any trouble.
earthtoholly — I was hoping they’d have used a thinner and darker icing in the writing so you could read it better. Next year, I’ll be more specific.
Trade Show Guru Steve — Ugh. Never again with the strawberries. I’d much rather order a cake and pick it up, even though the cake got screwed up. Gusty is gone. The landscaping crew must have come and taken him out because the pieces were reachable on the branches. So Windy remains alone again.
Lisa — Uh-oh. I hope I don’t disappoint you. By that, I mean I hope I’m loony enough!
Roxanne — I’m so happy that people discuss Windy outside the blog. It really warms my heart and she would appreciate it, too. And I realize how crazy that statement sounds, but I’m OK with it.
Jenny — She does look pretty good considering she’s made it through all four northeastern seasons. She hasn’t really lost any pieces, they’re just shreds is all.
C.B. Jones — Really! Who needs it!
Shawn — People who came to the party didn’t grill me too bad about the cake. They were carefully inquisitive, let’s say.
Sami Life, Laughs and Lemmings — Me too! And I care less and less how insane this whole things makes me.
Tiffany — Windy thanks you from the bottom of her bag.

darksaturn7 — Depends on which way Windy was looking. Happy Birthday spring baby!
Michelle Gartner — I don’t know which is worse, a balloon or a bag. Yes, I can see Windy stuck for years.
sam — Glad you liked it. Crazy runs in my blog.
flit — Well, I did feel kinda bad. She didn’t know about the party and didn’t get to blow out her candle or get cake. I was thinking of tying her balloons around her tree, but then I had visions that they would escape and then we’d be looking at stuck balloons, plus Windy. I couldn’t take the thought of it.
The Hawg! — Yes, God help me. I think I’ve crossed waaaay over the line with this.
Karen — Yea, I thought for a split second “But it’s wrong!” I’m not one to complain too much, plus the baker was so excited about the job he did. It’s OK. Windy tastes the same upside down or right side up.
Peter McCartney — I think you mean ‘what is my world coming to?’ But I’m OK with it.

storybeader — I like to think so.
Chrissy — Glad you liked it. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.
Holly — I don’t know what the bakery guy thought about that. He was probably still puzzled by the picture.
Happy Hour Sue — Ah, thanks! I do what I need to do for the sake of the blog. So far, it hasn’t gotten me arrested or put in a padded cell.
