Yay, we have a cat!!
We got a cat last night!!!!! We picked her out Wednesday night and returned Thursday night to claim her. We named her Gracie (she's gray...) and she is nine years old and about sixteen pounds (=FAT). But, she's adorable and has beautiful, bright green eyes, and is nice enough, so far. She's really here to keep Grandma company during the day and Mom company at night, especially since I'm leaving soon. Hopefully this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
I also made yummy cupcakes for work today, since one of the girls' birthdays is on Sunday. They were very cute and tasted pretty good, too. My most favorite part of my recent cupcake-making endeavors has been the decorating; it's so much fun to pipe frosting in fun shapes and then sprinkle on things and then dollop more stuff on top of that, etc., etc. I would also like to thank Jacqui for being an enabler in this project. I have now made six different kinds of cupcakes from that cookbook (though admittedly, all three kinds I made last night had the same "golden vanilla" base, just with various things added), and they have all been FABULOUS.
Anyway, pictures of the cat and the cupcakes are now on facebook. I don't think I have any LJ friends who aren't also facebook friends, so I won't bother posting them now.
Cheers!
P.S. Erin's moving in on Sunday - YAY!!!!!!! And I had yummy dinner and coffee with Kim tonight, and that was such fun. I may not have dozens of friends here, but I have a handful of close friends, and that works for me :)
