Book Club Party!

So I hosted the book club this month.  We read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown for the month of April.  I just wanted to post a picture of my fun creation:

In the book, Robert Langdon had to carry around a granite pyramid in his shoulder bag.  He was also carrying a solid gold capstone in a sealed box.
So...I made one out of pound cake and whipped cream and we ate it with strawberries!  Those symbols on the pyramid are some sort of code that he had to break...
It was sort of a last minute idea and I was happy that it came together as well as it did.  When the kids woke up that morning and I was frosting cakes they wanted to know who's birthday it was.  They were disappointed to find out that it wasn't anyone's birthday and that they weren't invited to my book party.  Thanks to my amazing husband, who rode against a headwind to and from the park, for taking great care of the kids during our meeting.  I loved discussing the book and I loved the company of such good friends.  I loved the fact that we were able to talk without being interrupted.  We missed those that weren't there, but had a blast!
I am having a really hard time getting into the next book.  I am trying though...any suggestions?  I just fall asleep whenever I pick it up.  I'm sure that has nothing to do with the book, only with the fact that I stay up too late at night.
Lovin' life!
