as my birthday present, i asked for a ticket to ca. i'd been thinking about a trip there, but i wanted to spend more than a weekend and i didn't know what i'd do with myself during the week. well, while i was talking with smac a couple weeks ago she mentioned that she wasn't teaching again until feb 17th. and i thought - bingo! we found a week that worked for her, me, and sarah l and booked my ticket.
on mon, the 26th i took the brown line el and changed over to the orange line in downtown and then took the orange to midway airport for my southwest flight. i was a19 for boarding and found a great seat in row 6. we pulled back from the gate and then the captain says we have to go back b/c the maintenance crew needs to check out a light. at the gate, the maintenance guy comes and fiddles with stuff and then the captain announces that it is not a false alarm and we have to get another plane and to stay seated and he'd let us know what to do when he could. ohhhhh joy. well, he comes on again and says that luckily sw found another plane for us that we can use, but that it is all the way at the end of terminal a and we were at the end of terminal b. it was a rather long walk, but the whole plane unloaded and trekked over to the new gate. we eventually boarded our new plane and i think everyone pretty much stuck to our original seats which i was happy about since i had the middle empty and a nice lady who had all the gossip magazines and b/c i'm broke i'm not buying them anymore, but she was nice and let me read them when she was done. yay!
once we landed a loooooong 5 hours later, i hurried off the plane to find sarah s (who i will now refer to as s1). we had a relatively traffic free ride back to glendale all the while chatting away. the dave was away at duke this particular week, so i had missed getting to see him but i did get to have so much fun with s1. that evening we ordered pizza and made cupcakes which were for the following day. i was even semi-helpful in the kitchen! s1 has tons of cupcake decorating stuff so we had fun making ours as pretty as possible. after cupcakes, i think we watched some tv and then went to bed exhausted.
i'm adding stuff to the mixer... don't i look like i know what i'm doing?!
icing the cupcakes, s1 does a fantastic job - she was very generous in her frosting!
doing some decorating. i loved the sugar bees. and pink sprinkles!
the final result!

so fun! you both look very professional.
we need to push heffita (sp??) as s1's nickname moving forward.

they were really yummy, i almost felt guilty eating them though since they were so pretty.
I was very satisfied with my frosting! It was so fun to decorate those cupcakes.
Jefita? I think that's how my made up name (spanish for 'little boss lady' which is what Dave calls me) is spelled.
Those cupcakes are really good! I made red velvet one's for Dave's birthday and I think we have one left which I think there'll be a fight over tonight.
