Sunday Night Cake and 9-inch Pan

I decided to make a big move, change some things.   Cancer puts you in that frame of mind.  So about 7 weeks ago I moved from Long Beach, California to Austin, Texas.   I wanted to be near family and also be near a really great hospital.  So.... i gave everything away except for what would fit in my car and made the 3-day journey.  What did I pack in my trunk?   My cookbooks, my cooking gear, my motorcycle gear, clothes, photos, and my computer ( I work from home).   It is amazing how much freedom I felt.   I gave away everything else.... to my walking partner, my poker buddies, friends in general who immediately called "dibs" on things.... it felt good.   I have lots of cooking paraphernalia.... but alas...no 9-inch square pan.   Now, I need things....I am ever the optimist and saving $ for a little studio (currently living with brother) but what do I spend my $$$ on?  What gives me joy.... buying a 9-inch pan, some really great chocolate, expensive vanilla to bake my Sunday Night Cake.    Cliche and cheesy... but it's the little things.   And the cake was probably the best-tasting cake I have ever made.
