WE BARE ALL...EXIT NOW!!!!!!

Another busy weekend around here. But not too busy for cupcakes:


I highly recommend Duncan Hines Butter Yellow Cake Mix...

Trav actually said that they were the best cupcakes he'd ever had. Nice.

But first, here's some pics of what I was doing all day on Wednesday instead of researching What I'm Feeling Wednesday. I was at "Taste of Winter Park". I designed and decorated the table of a certain restaruant's booth for someone who happens to work there. It was pretty fun and there was some really good food there.


Lovely. Can you tell how bright the sun was that day?


I used lots of fresh veggies, along with some of the brands that the restaurant uses. It was really pretty. PRAH-TTY!

So that's where I was on Wednesday.

Anyway, this weekend the boys were in town to find a new abode in Gainesville. On Saturday morning, they DRAGGED me kicking and screaming back to Hot Dog Heaven. I mean, I really didn't want to go. They had to spend HOURS convincing me that I wanted a hot dog for lunch. It was touch and go there for awhile.

Actually, it went something like this:

Trav: "Hey Mel, would you like to go get some lunch at Hot Do-"
Me: "YES YES YES, I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK TO HOT DOG HEAVEN. TAKE ME NOW. FEED ME HOT DOGS AND FRENCH FRIES!"

I heart Hot Dog Heaven. We even took our portrait with "Big Frank". I heart him, too.

On the way back to the house, we stopped to check out a new used books store, where I found the single coolest Dover book ever printed:


Oh. My. GAH! Just look at it!

Many headers and graphics will be made. The store had a whole shelf of Dover books, including one entirely of horse illustrations. I had about 5 of them layed out on floor, wanting ALL of them. I decided on the one with the lowest price. I may go back for that horse one...

B had to work on Sunday, so I tagged along on the trek to look at houses. We saw some pretty fantastic stuff, such as this sign on the highway:


That is the single biggest sign for a strip club by the highway that I've ever seen. Evvvv-er.

Oh, and the model homes were pretty fantastic, too. I took some covert photos of the best living room ever:


The seating...


The remote...

Do you see where I'm going with this?


Sha-BAM! The TV!

THAT THING IS HUGE! AWESOME! You have to get past the sage green wall color. And the sign in the bathroom, above the toilet, that said: "Come and Sit a Spell". I shit you not. (Pun sorta not intended.)

It was fun. Gentlemen, thanks for coming down and thanks for letting me tag along. I'd be happy to trade you cupcakes for hot dogs anytime.

Hmm. I think there's a dirty joke there in that last line...
