Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent hours baking a multi-layered, detailed cake from scratch for my mom's birthday. It took two seconds for my dog to devour the cake while I picked up a spoon I dropped on the floor. FML
Today, it was my two-and-a-half year anniversary with my girlfriend, a small but noble occasion. She surprised me with an invention of hers, a plate of triple-chocolate double-mint cookies topped with Andes mints. I surprised her by crashing her new Mustang into a cement divider. FML
Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML
Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight after the gym. Then, a cheesecake I'd baked for a client cracked all the way through. Then, my oven broke as I was trying to make a new one, so I left to bake it at a friend's house, at which point I locked my keys and all of my supplies inside my car. FML
Today, I baked a cake for when my mum came home. I did everything I needed to do and put it in the oven, set the timer and went to do some things around the house. When my mum came home, she asked why there was a uncooked cake mix sitting in the oven. I forgot to turn the oven on. FML
Today, a coworker left a chocolate cake on the "free food" table in the office. I had a slice. She's just called to ask if she left her grandmother's birthday cake at work. She made it from scratch. Now I'm baking a new cake in the office kitchen. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML
Today, I made a very pretty sunflower cake that I woke up incredibly early to make. It took me hours and a lot of money. It was for my grandparents anniversary and my whole family was invited. We only got to see the remains because the waiter gave it to the wrong family, and they ate it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When me and my boyfriend got together, we celebrated each monthly anniversary until 1 year, now we do yearly and sometimes half year (: Sucks about the cake ! But it's the thought that counts =] Nice to know there are guys out there like you

dude, did you really say pantry?

What's wrong with saying pantry? Some people actually have a small closet where they store dried goods. Which is called a pantry

Okay let's clear something up here. "Anniversary" means "yearly", not "monthly". You don't celebrate anniversaries by the month. if you can make a relationship last past a year then there's a reason to celebrate. I get so sick of seeing people all over the internet, FB, etc. gushing over how many "months" they've been together....grow up already lol.

eh, it's ok. You should have put it in a bowl and made it cake soup. Personally I would have loved that.

I honestly feel like the monthly anniversary ( annual ppl!!!!!!!!) Pulls away from the value of the relationship. I mean how special would you birth be if every monththu say

I honestly feel like the monthly anniversary ( annual ppl!) Pulls away from the value of the relationship. I mean how special would your birth be if every month you say "I was born on this day, but not this month. Cake?" Don't waste your time. But w.e to each their own.

I agree. My bf and I didn't even celebrate our actual anniversaries together yet, since we have a long-distance relationship. So far I 'remembered' it with him and tried being nostalgic a bit, but that seemed to have failed.
