Cupcakes n Hotdog Reunion tour!!

Ok so back in September my great friend Sarah and I took a road trip down to LA for three things 1. Sprinkle's Cupcakes 2. Pink's Hotdogs 3. See my best friend Rich. Yes, in case you are wondering that was the priority level of all three as well! We'd heard a lot about how amazing Sprinkle's cupcakes were in Beverly Hills and you all know my love of the buttercream and cake so the fact that we had to stand outside an hour and half outside to get them was a no brainer! We happened to pass another cupcake shop along the way called Crumbs with no lines and ended up hitting that on the way back. Let me tell you Crumbs wins hands down so that was the cupcake destination for the 2nd road trip. Apparently Pink's is a popular celebrity hotdog joint that has amazing hotdogs. Hotdogs would be the 2nd thing on our top food list so we had to check it out. We were so amazed and in hotdog heaven that it quickly jumped to the #1 reason for the 2nd roadtrip!
With this background information I can now discuss the 2nd roadtrip, that I have to honestly say in my opinion outshined the 1st one! One of the great things was my new phone has GPS on it and what a life saver it was! We got where we needed to go without getting lost once it was great! We did not mess around and got straight to business the 1st day there. We walked Hollywood blvd. and did the wax and Guinness museum tours. I did provide some pictures. Not the greatest wax jobs, but it killed some time! While we were walking the strip we got free tickets to be part of the "According to Jim" TV show. We were pumped. A little factoid I was not aware of before this was that its not a quick event. We had to be there at the taping for 5 hours. So if any of you ever want to do that, just keep in mind its kind of an all day or night thing! The show will air in Jan. Back to the good stuff. After the blvd. walk we went to Pink's I truly believe I heard Angles singing from the roof tops when we got there! Keep in mind that you wil have at least a half hour wait at this joint, but it is well worth it! The craziest things are put on hotdogs and people love it (yes the thing that looks like a burrito that my friend Rich is eating is really a hotdog!) Their french fries defintely deserve an award for the greasiest yet crispiest bites of heaven! You know you've had a successful Pink's visit when you walk out holding your gut with your pants undone! The next day we hit up Universal Studios which was a lot of fun and Crumbs! Believe it or not though I did not actually purchase one cupcake for myself! I think I was still in buttercream and cake overload from my birthday! They are divine though and worth every cent 375 cents to be exact! So anyone going to LA anytime soon I highly recommend a stop at Pink's Hotdogs for lunch and dessert at Crumbs! And don't forget your GPS it will save your life! Stay tuned for road trip part three!!

Happy Late BDay to my bud Trevor!!!

This is one of my most favorite pictures of one of my best buddy's Trevor Quinn! He is so cool and I miss him a lot. He has the best personality and you never know what he's gonna say! I have been lucky enough to be with Donelle 2 out of the 4 times she's given birth. I'm pretty sure I'm not a good luck charm (take note any of you future mom's!) but I'm very grateful to have shared those experiences. I wasn't able to be there for Trevor's birth and go figure it was an easy time for Nells! I love him all the same though. He is so creative and friendly! I was lucky enough to have him ride with me to Dallas, and even though he wanted to go with his Mom he was a trooper and rode with me the whole time. We sang our hearts out to the Disney CD and played a few games it was a great memory for me. One of my other favorite Trevor things is when he says "What the heck?!" I don't know if he says it anymore, but it would crack me up everytime. Or the classic line "I'm taking a rest!" He is a kid after my own heart! Happy late Birthday buddy!

My Puma skating party! Oh Behave!!

So for the past two years I have wanted to go skating like they used to back in the day. Of course back in the day it was all the rage, times have changed a bit!! Some girls from work and a couple of people from the gym totally made my skating dream come true! Of course as with anything with me there had to be a theme. Because I am not yet a "Cougar" my friend Christina and I have been classified as "Pumas" so we had a Puma skating party! Tube socks or headbands were mandatory! We had one guy bring a fro wig which I of course took over by the end of the night. Let me tell you that much hair really throws of your balance when you are trying to skate! It was great though! Everyone knows my love of buttercream and so my friend Drea got me a cupcake cake in the shape of a skate. It was awesome! I thought we'd be the oldest people there, but there were a couple of "distinguished" men there that had some really sweet moves! Alene and I tried to do a few moves from "Blades of Glory" but it didn't quite work out. We did almost run into each other and I ended up copping a feel. Be jealous boys! We never fell though I think it was due to the many nights we'd go skating in the "Hood"! It was fun and I had a great time. I'm looking forward to the end of the month when Donelle is down and we get to concert it up with the good looking boys of Country Music! Concerts are twice as fun with Nells! Something eventful always happens which makes it good times. Here I come 31!!!
