Because a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste

So, at the very moment, I literally AM waiting on the rest of the world. It's a phrase Brandon and I toss around a lot because one time he went upstairs in his parents' house to find his stepdad, Jim, watching "16 Candles" at 9:30 a.m. in his transportation (pajama) pants (dubbed "transportation pants" because they feature modes of transportation such as cars and planes and ferries) and when Brandon asked Jim why he was watching "16 Candles" in his transportation pants Jim said he had made all his phone calls and was just waiting on the rest of the world. So, yes. I'm waiting on the rest of the world to call me. To be more specific, I'm waiting on the Collin County Commissioner's Court members to call me back and, uh, answer some questions.

So, for right now, let me tell you about a slightly humorous moment concerning some cupcakes and wedding planning. Brandon and I are deciding between cupcakes and wedding cake. And I found a lovely picture of a cupcake, white with white frosting and white sprinkles topped with a single raspberry. I thought it would be perfect for a cupcake tree, so I sent the picture to my future mother- and sister-in-law. I did this not because I had any reservations about aforementioned cupcake design but because I like sharing details with people who care about details and I know they like to be included in the details and the information. Lalalalala.

Well, future sister-in-law said she thought the cupcakes looked like boobs. Which I thought was humorous because they totally don't and the frosting isn't pink. Needless to say, if we do the cupcakes, I think we will be turning the raspberries around from the way they are in the picture so they don't point straight up in the air and so that they are sort of resting on the frosting and kind of at an angle, as if the raspberry is a woman reclining on a chaise lounge rather than her boob pointing straight up in the air while she is strapped down to a gurney in a mental institution. IJS.

FYI, cupcakes don't have to be pink for the majority of the population to think they are boob-like. Just look at the white cupcakes, each topped with one large sprinkle, that I made for New Year's.

it is obvious to me that your cupcakes, in any position, are under the age of 30.

I think that's hilarious. You should totally get the cupcakes and keep them looking like boobs, and serve some sort of meat log with accompanying cheese balls or something. The best part of this plan would be playing dumb and seeing which of your guests have a dirty mind ("Oh, gosh. We just thought everyone liked salami, we would have never dreamed it looking like THAT! What sort of dirty mind do you have??!!!)
:o) I'm kidding. Mostly.

yeah, i feel like Quizzard with obama, even after reading his issues web page. i don't disagree with his goals and some are quite specific, like the education dollars, but where that money will come from and who he will grease elbows on to get it is where I get tied up.
