chic food & frosting

thursday was our monthly blogger lunch, only this time with a twist. we met at my house for salads from plates & palates, that place has great "chic" food that i love. i am a huge salad girl and their's are my favroties. as always we had a fantastic time hanging out together talking like girls and laughing - lots of laughing. everyone brought many many cupcakes and by the time the two hours was over we had made four batches of different kinds of buttercream, laughed a lot more and taste tested several different samples. and i had frosting in my hair. we would love to open a cupcake store together but will have to see on that one. at one point i was mixing frosting and listening to patsy talk about wedding showers and announcements when it hit me. a little glimpse of blogger lunches of the future when we would each take turns talking about our daughter's wedding plans. i had this feeling that our little cupcake gathering was just the beginning of great times and real friendships. i just love these girls! with all the chaos i lost track of ethan, well not really, i could see him playing in the living room out of the corner of my eye. at one point i looked over at him to see him covered in lemon frosting - eyelashes and all. then i noticed that so was my black wooden bench, and the tv screen, and the ottoman and part of the couch. my first thought was, "where's my camera!?" would you believe that this is the second blogger lunch in a row that we forgot to take a self portait? we'll do better next month!
