friends and donuts.. what more do you need?

I had so much fun last night catching up with the girls.. and finally trying a hot and ready Krispie Kreme!! Brought home a hat for Lucas, but the leftover donuts didn't quite make it that far!!

I'll never settle for Dunkin's again.

My little cousin and a friend came into the city today JUST for some Georgetown cupcakes.. that's a 2-hour ride here and then an hour and a half wait just to get into the shop!! That's some serious dedication.

And definitely worth it.. a dozen cupcakes each and lots of laughs :] Can't wait to see her again!



I tore into mine before I even had time to get a picture!! The Cherry Blossom cupcake is my favorite so far.. loaded with cherries!!

wish list.

Someone buy me this Alen Lewis print, please!! :] Hint hint, Lucas.

can't get enough blossoms!

I experienced my first food cart.. $6 hot dogs, yikes!

at the Tidal Basin.. blossoms at their peak!

I hate McDonald's with a passion, but I had a lapse of judgment the other night and ended up in their drive-thru with Lucas. I had actually heard of their shamrock shake, so I talked Lucas into getting one to split. Leave it to McDonald's to make a florescent green, lime-flavored shake (apparently really fake mint flavoring becomes lime). I actually really liked it! Ha..

lost it.

This is how we recover from a long, busy week/weekend.

warning: may be too cute for some audiences

Skunk had a birthday this week, so my parents took him to the spa for some grooming and pampering! And he was such a good birthday boy that his stylist sent him home with a bag full of treats and a birthday monkey! Happy 3rd birthday, Skunky Monkey.

Skunk's very first bath.. only a few months old! He's deathly afraid of the water.. his whole body still locks up when we get him near a tub!

Makes me miss having a puppy of my own!! Lucas is definitely not a dog guy, though, and we could never agree on a breed anyway. I need a hypoallergenic dog and Lucas will only settle for a Pomeranian. Yeah.

But if we could find one anything like this guy, I might cave:
