Weekend Fun!

What a lovely weekend it's been!

This weekend:

• We basically became BFFs with our favorite high school quarterback/artist/jungle doctor.
• We stayed up until 5:00 a.m. chatting away about anything and everything.
• I fixed the dishwasher.  (Fingers crossed!)
• I wore both of my new Old Navy Prep Coats (not at the same time) because it finally got cold outside.
• We snuggled with the cutest dog on the planet.
• I made two kinds of delicious ice cream. 
• I watched two episodes of the new season of 16 and Pregnant and yelled at the tv.
• We made bolognese.
• I met the lady across the street.  I'd been meaning to introduce myself for a few months, but couldn't figure out a way to do it that didn't seem creepy. 
• I went to Cupcake Happy Hour at Back in the Day Bakery.  Okay, so Cupcake Happy Hour was insanely fun, even more fun than I thought it would be.  First, I got to hang out with my good teacher friend.  Second, Back in the Day was serving pizza, which was basically the greatest thing I had ever seen or tasted (hyperbolic, sure, but also true).  Third, our friends Brian and Ann joined us (a.k.a., "parents of the two (but soon-to-be-three) cutest girls on the planet"), along with Iris and Opal.  Oh yeah, and there was bingo.  And Iris won the bingo.  And I might have been more excited about the bingo victory than anyone else at the table.  I also might have scared Iris with my excitement.  Oh well.

Anyway, it's time to watch Boardwalk Empire before bed.  We're so addicted to that show!

Happiness is a Cupcake.

Cupcake happy hour at Back in the Day Bakery was everything I imagined it would be and more! Friends, cupcakes, bingo. It was a beautiful end to a looooooooooooong week.

I forgot my camera, so the phone had to do. From top left: banana cupcake with banana icing, milk chocolate, old fashioned, milk chocolate, old fashioned, and red velvet. Just delightful!

I ate one for myself, and one in honor of my buddy Eric's birthday. Mmm hmmm, that's why I ate the second one--friendship. Okay, really it was just unabashed gluttony. It's a good thing, then, that I was drinking Diet Coke, right? Wrong? Diet Coke won't make my skinny? Well damn.

One of my friends was the first to get bingo (she's SO good at bingo), and she won an old fashioned with a ballerina on top. A BALLERINA ON TOP! I need to find out where to buy ballerina cupcake toppers, stat.

The cupcakes were delicious as ever. Savannah folk, go there. People in the tri-state area, get there. It's a need, not a want.

CUPCAKE HAPPY HOUR!

Are you f'ing kidding me? And apparently there's also going to be bingo! Bingo and cupcakes?

In the words of the late, dead, Michael Jackson, I'll be there.
