Callin' it in

Hey dudes,

I don't have anything really notable to say, but I want to stay awake until 10 to watch Breaking Bad, and if I'm not on the computer, I'll be asleep on the couch, mouth agape, by 9:30. So, hiiiiii.

Um, lemme see. So Friday we went to a cupcake place in Rochester. We had been meaning to go there and try out the 'cakes for a while now, and we had heard they were having a free sample thing going on, so we figured it was as good a time as any. I am not mentioning the name here because I really don't have anything super positive to say about our experience. It wasn't bad per se and it's not like they wronged us or anything and I don't want to be responsible for personally sending them to their demise with my unfavorable words. Plus, it was free cupcakes. How much can I complain? (Lots.) The place smelled a little like how I remember a couple of my mom's friends houses smelling when I was growing up: cigarette smoke and old dish towels. And the cupcakes were okay, but I don't really like frosting, and the frosting-to-cake ratio was way too high for my liking. And then we felt like we should buy something, so we bought a couple cupcakes, and the service was so unnecessarily slow. BUT, it was a fun thing to do on a Friday night and, hey, free cupcakes. Here's a poor-quality picture of me feeding Greta a mini cupcake.

Saturday we did some stuff around the house (read: we watched too much TV as a family), and then in the evening we went to a fantastic dinner party with some daycare friends. I can't think of much to say about Saturday except that the tacos we had at the dinner party were so good I keep thinking about them today. Mmmm, tacos. Oh, and the company was great. We are lucky to have a lot of people we like in our life who happen to have kids Greta's age. In the past, when I've met people through Greta our other mommies through, you know, mommy stuff, it was fine, but they weren't people I would go out of my way to get to know on a personal level. But these people I can hang with, and I'm feeling all I-hope-they-like-me in a high school-ish sort of way.

Today I was hell bent on cleaning the house and cleaning up the lawn. Pat and Greta met up with the Moenses at the museum while I listened to some episodes of This American Life and went to town on stuff around the house. It was just what I needed. There is a superhero exhibit going on at the museum now, and Pat got this picture of G scaling a skyscraper. D'awesome.
