Our wings are not tired.

I would totally freak if I ever met Joan Baez. Or Bonnie Raitt. Jane Fonda but to a lesser degree.

Ha! That was so totally my exact list of freaktitude when I was 17. I did not manage to make a fool of myself around them when I finally met them (separately).

OK, now i totally need a link on sexy lawyer lady...

Also, suggestions for cupcake flavors! Apparently I am in charge of making cupcakes for my dad's 70th birthday party on Saturday night. My sister has done a CRAPTON of work for this, she's been awesome, and so I'd like to at least come up with some yummy flavors. My ideal plan would be to make a couple batches of basic batter (like, one of chocolate and one of vanilla) and the separate them out into a few bowls and doctor them (ie, chocolate-mint, chocolate-espresso, vanilla-coconut, vanilla-lime). And then make various frosting flavors. SO, suggestions from Buffistas on yummy cupcake flavors and frostings?

(Because I love it, several of the frostings will probably involve cream cheese, and the rest will be buttercream)

meara, mojito cupcakes are awesome -- lime, rum, mint with a buttercream frosting that has a little bit of brown sugar. NOM NOM NOM. [link]

Another fave of ours is brown sugar cupcakes: [link]

Spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! Lemon with a glaze! German chocolate with that coconut stuff.

I am not very fancy with my cupcake love.

Ugh, I tried for the last hour to go to sleep with that stupid TMJ retainer in my mouth. I feel like I am all swole up with tongue. It's so goddamn distracting, and I have a hard enough time falling asleep without a thing in my mouth.

UGH.
