Last week wasn’t the best, but it definitely wasn’t the worst. To make up for it, I decided I was going to have a fantastic weekend no matter what. I have to say, I think it turned out pretty great.

I’m not too big on sports, but I do love baseball. White Sox baseball, that is. When Mark asked me to go to a game, I was super excited because it was the first I’ve been to this season. We beat Kansas City pretty good and then there was an awesome fireworks show after the game. I definitely need more baseball in my life.

One of my favorite things in the world to treat myself to, especially now that I’ve stopped biting my nails, is to get a pedicure AND manicure. Of course, I always manage to smudge my manicure like, 5 seconds after I think it’s done because I’m too impatient to wait for it to fully dry. Whatever. Siberian Nights on my fingers and toes right now. Loves it.

Sunday was an especially delicious day. My new, super awesome friend Dani just moved back to Chicago from Austin and she need to check out the local cupcake bakeries. And well, me being the super awesome friend that I am, I stepped up to the plate and brought WG2 with me. We had a mini cupcake crawl and hit three places (it would have been four but Swirlz was closed and that basically ruined my life).

First up was Sweet Mandy B’s and I’d say it was my favorite of the day, but mostly because of the hot tattooed dude who was working the counter. (Hi, call me. Bring cupcakes, please. The vanilla kind with pink frosting because they are yummy.) Next was Molly’s Cupcakes and my goodness, that place was adorable. I got a strawberry shortcake cupcake there and the frosting was pretty yum. The rest? Eh. Third was Southport Grocery, but I haven’t tried the one I got yet because holy sugar overload. I’ll report back once I’ve tasted it. There will definitely be more cupcake tastings in the future though because it was a pretty fantastic way to spend my Sunday afternoon.

Weekends like this are the best.
