A smattering of news...

First of all, I want to say congrats to Best When Used By for her BFP! It looks like a pretty open and shut case, which is perfect for someone in the legal profession :-) It couldn't have happened to a nicer chickadee.

Secondly, I'm dying. Well, not literally. But the blue screen of death did cause some stabbing pains in my chest. My computer went on the fritz on Tuesday night, and I've had to borrow DH's, which is super annoying because he often has work to do at night. And I can't download all my great new pics of Beatrice or my NYC pics. Argh! Anyway, it's in techie hands now...I'm hoping for life support, but I'll be okay with just getting all my documents off my hard drive.

Thirdly (I'm in a list mood), I've noticed lately that I've become slightly obsessed with cupcakes. There is a fantastic place near me called The Cake Box, which has the best vanilla strawberry cupcakes. But I'm not only eating them...I'm also hunting them down in blogs. (if you know of any good ones, let me know). I've always been into cakes (and ice cream, and chocolate and...well, food) but this cupcake fascination is new. Maybe it's because Beatrice is so little and cute, and they are so little and cute?

Fourthly, um...well, I guess that's it for tonight. It's almost time to go to bed and dream of techies eating cupcakes while doing pregnancy tests on my computer.

  1. Blue Screen of death? Bad news bears! I am so looking forward to your new pics of the puppy.

    There is a cupcake place here called S.prinkles and it is awesome! They even sell their cupcake mix, of course that would require baking on my part...

  2. Thanks for the congrats! So sweet of you. And holy mother boards, but my computer was having problems too! In fact, my "good" laptop is still out of commission and I have been using Archaic Annie. Must be going around. Third, we have a fantastic cupcake place here too...they are just amazing! They were served at a party I went to and at first I thought "Hmph, how good could a cupcake be?" But they were fantastic...and cost like $4 apiece! Well, we all look forward to new pictures of cupcake Beatrice when you can get them downloaded.

  6. We had cupcakes instead of a wedding cake, so I understand the fascination! The vanilla strawberry ones sound divine!
