- Free cupcakes. Few combinations of words excite me more than that
one. On Monday, The Flying Cupcake, the best little cupcakery on the planet,
had a customer appreciation day because they reached 20,000 fans on Facebook.
Customer appreciation day is code for 'free cupcakes,' so I dragged (yes,
pretty much dragged) Wheat there for a little midday treat. Wheat has taken an
inexplicable hardline stance against gourmet cupcake shops, due in part to
their pop culture boom in recent years. His chief complaint against them,
however, is the cost, so I sprung on this perfect opportunity. We chose Pretty
in Pink and Happy Birthday to Me vanilla. They didn’t disappoint and let’s be
real: Everything tastes better when it’s free.
- Clean sheets. Such a good feeling.
- The Wire. I could probably write an entire book on my thoughts and feelings about this HBO drama, so I’ll keep it short. It’s excellent. The writing, the acting, the complexity of the storylines, all of it. Wheat and I are probably going to finish it this weekend and I’m more than a little upset by that. If you’re looking for a great show to watch, I highly recommend it, but be forewarned: It’s very dark and doesn’t portray the criminal justice system, politics, education, or the media in a particularly positive light.
- "Loyal" by Chris Brown. Yeah, I know everyone hates him. I still like every song he has ever released. Talented, yet troubled dude.
- My parents. If I’m being honest, my parents are happy thoughts for me on most days, but they made me particularly giddy this week. My mom started losing her hair this weekend, so she decided to shave her head at some point this week. But before she could, my dad surprised her by shaving his own head to match her. I offered to shave my head, too (at this point, that’s probably the only way I could get rid of these split ends), but my mom forbade me from doing it. I’m so unbelievably touched by their strength and love for each other. I couldn’t be more proud to call them my parents. Don’t they look great?!
Does anyone else despise cupcake shops like my weird boyfriend?
As a young female, is it okay to still love C. Breezy?
What's making YOU happy this week?

Your mom looks so gorgeous! And I miss the Flying Cupcake sooooo much!
ReplyDeleteCupcakes are my life. I'm giving a literature presentation as a cupcake tasting. And it will be epic. ♡ to your Mom & Dad (& you too of course, but that goes without saying)
ReplyDelete<3 you Britt!! If you ever need more free cupcakes, just let me know! -Tasha
ReplyDeleteThere are two kinds of people in this world: people who love gourmet cupcakes and people who have no soul. I guess I have no soul.
ReplyDeleteThe Wire is the best television series of all time, and Omar Little might be my favorite TV character of all time. I feel like it's almost literature - and I'm serious when I say that. Glad you liked it - who is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteOh your Mom looks so beautiful!
