So far?
Vacation is making me a happy girl!
Friday evening was game night at Danny & Rachel's. Fun stuff.
Saturday was sex and videogames followed by babysitting for Natalie (Don't worry, I showered first). We love sitting for her--she is such an adorable, hilarious little creature! Plus, as payment (which isn't at all necessary, but, rather, my sister's sweet compulsion), My sister Pippi heard about our 'No Take-Out February' and offered to get us dinner from Indian Delight in Weymouth. YUM CITY!! It really hit the spot! We have been pretty darn good this february about outside food and bev (A coffee and sandwich from the bean here and there isn't too awful, right?)--and this was a nice reward.
However, we decided to further reward ourselves today, the first sunday of our February Vacation, with a trip to the brand new CUPCAKE SHOPPE that has opened in WeeBee Centre! I feel strongly that once a town has a cupcake shop, it qualifies as a Centre and not a Center any longer ;) Soon maybe WeeBee will be as absolutely precious as perfect Plymouth! Or, sigh, Plimoth! Too adorable.
Anyway, We wanted to try one of absolutely every single item in the cozy little shoppe. We are not made of money, so we did not do this. But we got a half dozen, plus something called a Key Lime Explosion or something, some keylimepie pastry that looked like heaven on earth. The Cupcake people encouraged us to have them at room temp, so there they sit, just a few feet away from me, slowly ripening to perfection!! I am so excited to try them that I can hardly stand it!!
Flavors we will be sampling today:
Strawberry (Strawberry frosting and strawberry centre!)
Holy ShNickers! (Snickers is a brand name, just ask Marylou's.)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Oreo
Lemon
Coconut
You should have smelled this place. Divine. Heaven in a little shop. PLU they also serve COLD STONE CREAMERY ICE CREAM!! Whaaaaaaaat? Yup. It's all pre-mixe, they don't have an actual cold stone there, but it is official Cold Stone Creamery brand, so you know it is deliciously yumsauce.
You should also be made aware that the decor was warm and cozy and modern and welcoming. And Aaron would like me to make special note of the music that played whilst we were in there dithering over just how many cupcakes becomes an excessive amount of cupcakes. The Police, followed by Mumford & Sons, followed by Adele. It was pretty awesome. He kinda wanted to hang around for more, and then begged me to let him get HD radio. He honestly pondered their music majesty all the way home; "I mean, was it a playlist? It was like they were borrowing my personal playlist? Was it satellite? It was so awesome! What are the odds..."
And the staff were great too! Freindly, hip, socialble, not at all pushy. Good times.
(And if anyone's keeping tabs on my new year's resolution to 'avoid junk food' I would like to justify my actions by classifying artisan cupcakes as well outside the realm of 'junk food'. This is a special delectable treat for my body, and not horrible processed trash. Everyone deserves an artisan, gourmet cupcake or six every now and again, right?)
It should maybe be mentioned that prior to this excursion to the Cupcake Shop, Aaron and I spent the ENTIRE morning in bed together, cuddling and talking and watching Hulu and fooling around. I absolutely heart vacations. I love pondering menage-a-trois whilst getting a backrub and watching backlogged episodes of the office. I love our honesty and our communication, and how very much we enjoy eachother and get eachother and turn eachother on!
I really really like vacations!!
And? Have you noticed how very close we are to March 1st? Oh man...
At some point this day I will start cleaning. I'm expecting company this week, and want my house to sparkle! AND I will sit down with my writing and organize it some more and get more posts up on the CF blog! How are you all doing? Keeping up? I can't wait to get it all posted and up to date with where I am in my actual writing.
Another goal for vaca week: Get resume stuff up-to-date and ready to send out at the drop of a hat. Jobs are getting posted and I need to be applying.
But Sundays? Sundays are for indulgence and replenishing the soul, and sundays are for Aaron's homemade mac and cheese, and Sundays are for rock-your-socks off orgasms, and Sundays are definitely for Artisan Cupcakes ;)
Will let you all know if these cupcakes taste as good as they look and smell! How's your sunday going?
