XP: I've decided to start a cupcake blog...
With our anniversary approaching on 8-8, I thought what better day to launch my cupcake blog than on my anniversary. Combining two of my many loves... Erik and cupcakes!!
The title will be a secret (ok, you guessed it... I STILL haven't picked a name but having a deadline will definitely force me to).
And.......... my first cross-country shipment is taking place on Monday.... I will be sick to my stomach until I get a call on Tuesday afternoon that they've arrived in one piece!!
But wait, there's more...... (haha - don't you feel like you're on The Price is Right???).... I'm having a cupcake and cocktails social at the end of August at my home. I'm going to have hundreds upon hundreds of cupcakes (various flavors/frostings/fillings/etc), frosting shots, a cupcake bar (where you can make your own cake/combination), and am asking friends to just bring an appetizer. Thinking of having a raffle/door prizes, too. Soooo... if you're local (or don't mind driving for cupcakes), let me know and I'll send you an invite!
Oh
- and I almost forgot... this weekend's trial-and-error cupcake will be
french toast with maple syrup topped with bacon. I know, it sounds
nasty - but I've heard that maple/bacon cupcakes are spectacular -- and
I'll try anything once.... well, twice. 
I'll be sure to post an update by Monday.
Thank you, ladies, for encouraging me to start a cupcake blog and for always having such "sweet" things to say about my cupcake obsession!!

Congrats Lisa! That's so exciting! Make sure you post your blog link when you launch it! I REALLY want to follow it!!! Do you have a website where you are selling your cupcakes?
OMG I would give just about anything to be there! Too bad it is so close to my start date in Boston! Not sure I should take any time off at the begining of the new job lol!!

ooh how fun! I would drive all the way from Alaska to join your party if I could, it sounds like a blast.
I've had a maple doughnut that had bacon on it...it was awesome!
