"Farewell My Friend..."

I have to say it's a bittersweet announcement from Brett yesterday.... I am a fan... a big fan. I felt I had won the lottery when I heard he was coming back this summer... but I have to say when he was forced to join the Jets... it never felt right to me... I was thrilled to actually see him play in person this past August at the Meadowlands... that was cool, as cool as it gets... but still, it never seemed right.

As much as I have a flair for the drama... and this little 'ode to him may be a bit hokey (hence the music selection on my blog)... I really will miss him!

A quote on what Brett did after letting the Jets know he was retiring (and one of the reasons why I love him so much…)

"I was on a bulldozer for a little bit, pushing up some down trees and stuff
and just was doing a little bit of yard work. I had my phone on me, but I didn’t talk..."

Look at this AMAZING mother earth goddess portrait!

I love this...

A Visit to Georgetown Cupcake...

The day before the Inauguration of President Obama we all took a drive down to Washington DC to be a part of the hoopla... The city was abuzz, and no doubt the energy was palpable... and once again we were reminded of the absolute privilege it is to be a part of the culture of our Nation's Capitol.

We decided to stop by the now infamous Georgetown Cupcake which has been featured on Martha Stewart and the Today Show... and just about everywhere else. The wait was 30 minutes just to get into the shop. Can any cupcake be that much better than the ones I make at home? Ummm... yea... our question was answered pretty definitively.... These are simply amazing, we all agreed. Some of the ones in the picture above have the special "presidential inaugural seal"... super neat!
