According to this post, today is a very special day.
TODAY IS NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY!!!!!!!!

Some smart woman somewhere did a very good thing by making today happen.
If you ever find yourself at a bar with me, about an hour or so after we arrive, you will hear some version of these words: “I could really go for some chocolate cake right now.” (and after years of saying this, I do know which DC bars serve beer and cake)
I love chocolate cake.
- I love chocolate so much that the top tier of our wedding cake (currently in our freezer – talk about self control) is a death by chocolate, chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream icing.
- I love chocolate cake so much I made a personalized serving in the microwave the other night.
- I love chocolate cake so much that I rushed to write this post minutes after my friend notified me of today’s significance.
I apologize for not getting the word out sooner. With proper notice I might stuff my face with chocolate cupcakes for breakfast. A good ol’ fashioned chocolate cake might have graced our teacher’s lounge. But of course, some chocolate truffle cake will on the plate for after dinner.
I always need a good excuse to have me some chocolate cake for dessert.
So what are you waiting for?
Go now. Stuff thy faces.
For today? Is National Chocolate Cake Day!*
Changing the world, one slice of chocolate cake at a time.
(Please leave links to any awesome chocolate cake recipes in the comments, to celebrate!)
*feel free to do the same on 1/28 if you missed the cake festivities on 1/27. and the same for 1/29. ah heck we all need more chocolate cake in our lives.

Living in our nation's capital allows me to learn something new every day. So does teaching 2nd graders. My nose piercing and tattoos keep me from normalcy, while my job and religion keep me grounded.
