it's not exactly baking

but i still went a little cupcake crazy this past week and weekend. it's a pretty basic design i drew, but changing the expressions and colors makes it extra fun to work on.

i went and looked at bikes this weekend, too, so i can get a handle on how much one might cost. i'd like to spend around $100, but the bikes i really loved were more than that. i might go ahead and save up enough money for a really spectacular one, or try to buy one once the weather turns crappy, because maybe they'll be cheaper then. it was easy enough to find red ones, although i have to admit i saw an orange one i kind of really liked too. all i know for sure is that i definately want one with huge fenders, and some pinstripe action. also, i don't care about gears. it's flat here, and i never plan on taking my bike to the mountains. i just want something big and dorky to tool around on.

i also had entirely too much drink this whole weekend, which culminated in a great saturday night out where i got to chit chat with all my favorite bartenders. one of them is extra-cute, and it was fun to be out with my roommate drinking girly drinks and goofing around. i love my boy roommate, but when he comes out with us we don't get a lot of boy action. i think they can't always tell who he belongs to, which is fine for my girl roommate, but sucky for me. i need to get a shirt to wear out that says, "third wheel" so it will be evident that i'm odd girl out. although i don't really look like them, or hold hands with either of them, so it should already be pretty clear. you just can't take for granted what a boy with a few drinks in him will or won't think. they are mysterious enough sober.
