I have a bunch of photos from today that I need to organize and get up here but first I'll just post this coherent set. We celebrated the boys' birthdays today and I decided it was a great excuse to head over to Sweet Mandy B's for some cupcakes.
I remember the first time I was introduced to Ms. Mandy B's by my dear friend Aimee. I'm not sure where we were off to...either a crafting destination or a thrift shop, but we were headed down on that diagonal street Elston when we came upon Webster street and she exclaimed, "OH, go left here! I meant to say go left here!" Since I'm usually not a total moron when it comes to directions I retorted, "Uh, what? Where are we going?"
After about a second or two of thinking Aimee said, "Cupcakes! I need a cupcake!"
(Duh)
We got cupcakes and coffee and sat inside the charming store. I initially thought, "Huh? This cupcake doesn't look all fancy and stuff. This place isn't one of those 'Belgian chocolate laced with burgundy cherry liquor and topped with pure white gold' places. What's the fuss? I could make a cupcake prettier than this one!"
But then I ate it and all sassy brain function ceased and I became entranced with the Sweet Mandy B's offerings.
I miss you, Aimee.
