OMG I am so in love with this cupcake shop. I stopped en route to the town where I grew up. But I stopped in the town where I was born, looking for a Starbucks. Instead I found Blake's Cafe & Cupcakery, where I bought a mozzarella and tomato salad, a mocha, and a buckeye cupcake. So delicious.
And while I've been online, various members of the family have trickled in. Including, finally, grampa and a little boy who is probably autistic, who has greeted everyone in the place, all of whom seem to know him, and is now playing with the ribbons on the gift basket stand. Everyone behind the counter greeted him with joy. It is love.
Aww, now he's having a serious conversation with pops about how big fairy godmothers are. Different sizes, says pops. Smaller than you? Probably up to about here, he says.
I love going to family-run establishments! There used to be a wonderful German diner up here where I'd get great brats and homemade potato salad for lunch. The elderly mom did the cooking, her 40-something daughters were the waitresses, and when school was out, her pre-teen granddaughter would bring out the silverware, paper placemats, and water glasses for everyone. I guess she ended up retiring and the place closed, sadly.
I want a local cupcakery! One that I can walk to.
That cupcake shop sounds fantastic!! I love being able to go to local businesses!
Can I just say, I think I'm going to explode from the effort of not getting spoiled for Mad Men before I can see it?
I think I might have gotten spoiled for something by not clicking away fast enough from the thread, but I think I have vague spoilers or notions about several major developments by now. When I finally get around to watching the show, maybe I'll have forgotten. I think I'm doing
Breaking Bad
next. Well, after
Jekyll,
since it's only six episodes and on Netflix Instant.
I love Jekyll like whoa. I keep watching it, over and over.
I am totally spoiled. I didn't even try to fight it because I knew it would be useless, since I am the NOSIEST PERSON ON EARTH WHO HAS TO KNOW EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
I try so hard to avoid spoilers for all the shows I watch, but it gets SO hard sometimes! I am a teenager on the inside, evidently, and I hang out at FanForum, and I follow a lot of my friends there on Twitter, and they talk about spoilers constantly. It's difficult.
Mmm, Jekyll is really good.
Implanted LEDs sounds like a good recipe for never sleeping again.
