Yummies vs Sprinkles



My sister and my family went out to lunch with our friend Ana on Saturday. When we were leaving for the hospital Ana said something like "oh I forgot my cupcake itinerary". I hear the word cupcake, my head spins and I say your cupcake what?!? She tells me that her husband has to work, and that she is going to spend her saturday checking out all the cupcakerys in southern california. My eyes lit up, I thought......what the hell....I want to do that. Hot damn! Is this what people with no kids do on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon?!? So of course I had to lay in my curiosity. I told her to report back to me on the parking situation, the staff (look and friendliness), are they kid friendly and of course, how did the cupcake taste!?!
Ana has all ready been to Dots and Auntie Em's. She said Le Cupcake was closed. She spent six hours on her journey and I must say she is an A+ reporter. She told me she was going to bring us cupcakes that night. I thought it was a nice gesture but didn't really think it would happen.
Saturday night, around ten. After we had all drowned our sorrows in Barro's Pizza and almond m&m's. Ana shows up, with all these cupcakes! She also brought me menus, she took pictures and bought me an individual cupcake holder. I know right.....where the hell did this Angel come from??
Our weekend was extremely awful and because of Ana, we had cupcakes to cry to. By far......Yummies is way yummier than sprinkles. I have to say there signature button on top of the cupcake is cute but Yummies tastes way better!! But there is a consensus, theirs no cupcake better than Auntie Em's red velvet.
Ok seriously there is more. Ana is Lisa's old co-worker/room mate. She and my sister are very close and very good to each other. Let me just say this.....Ana also did a M.A.C. and Philosophy run for us. Ana's the shit! We love you Mama Cakes!

I voted!!!

Its a big day today. Im so nervous! I went to our new polling place and I wasn't on the list! We had to look it up last night because we never got our papers. That wasn't a sign to us because we have a serious mail problem on our hill. So I get there, Im feeling emotional about the whole thing. Im parking and thinking about how I never thought I would get to vote (i know its early) for a woman president in my life time. I remember being told this as a small child that I wouldn't. I remember how crushed I was because back then at seven I thought......I'd be a pretty good president. ;) So, I walk inside and my name isn't on the list! I feel myself panic then he said lets check the just moved list. I wasn't on there either. At this point, I was ready to cry. He said that sometimes they don't get our registrations. I thought.....what do you mean, I did it at the post office!?! I told him I was going to drive to my old polling place to get my vote in. I mean what if Hillary lost because of my one vote? I couldn't deal with that. Luckily he was able to give me a ballot and I didn't cry. :)
I cross my fingers and heart for a Democrat. Please let is be Hilary and if not Obama. Please!!

The Standard

It was my birthday on the 24th. Breyne knew I really wanted to celebrate this year because last year I was 37 weeks pregnant and all I wanted then was to not go into labor. I didn't want to celebrate last year, I was in baby mode. I had a fantastic birthday this year!! On the 24th, I kept Ava out of school. My girls and I spent the day with my parents. That Saturday, Breyne got us a room at the Standard and to my surprise, we had friends that met us at the bar in the pouring rain!! Thanks guys! I couldn't believe it! I had a wonderful, wonderful time!
I wore a dress, perfume, jewelry, lots of make up and crazy heels! My four year old got me heels for my birthday. I haven't wore heels this high since before kids. It was fantastic! I had no one tugging at my clothes or jewelry. My clothes didn't have milk or food on them. I got to be an adult and only worry about me for a night. I had the best time. Thank you Breyne!!! xoxoxo!











We drank a lot and had a lot of fun.
