Who would want to 'R' her?

My cousin's baby is so cute that I almost changed my mind about not having children. Almost. At the little guy's birthday party on Saturday he smeared his face with cake and was just all-around adorable, leading me to imagine what it would be like to have a family one of these days. It might also be because Maria and Harlan are such a cute couple and have a cute house and a cute baby and are just cute, cute, cute that I couldn't help but long for something similar.
At the same party I got roped into making cupcakes and taking pictures of them for a book my Aunt Joyce is writing. Okay, so I volunteered to do it... and I'm really excited to get started. But still, making 31 different batches of cupcakes and then taking pictures of them is quite the task. Anybody have any outstanding recipes they'd like to share?? (I'm talking to you, Will, if you still read this.)

Renee had her wisdom teeth pulled on Friday. Ouch. I can't get mine done until I get insurance again, although I'm more afraid than ever after seeing what she went through. Funny story though: Before the dentist put Renee under they asked who was there to pick her up, to which she replied, "Debra." (Mom usually goes by Deb but for some reason Renee went with her full name.) Mom and I were in the waiting room when one of the dental assistants came out looking for "Brenda"; we both kept talking because we assumed it was some lady who was late for her appointment or something. A few minutes went by before the assistant came back out asking for this Brenda person, even opening the door to see if someone was waiting outside. She seemed a little worried, and in my mind I wondered if maybe they got Mom's name wrong because they read it off something Renee filled out with her chicken-scratch handwriting. I nixed this idea when I heard them say "Brenda" drives a green Ford... it seemed like she must have been a regular patient for them to know what kind of car to look for. Mom has a green Ford Escape, but I just pictured this other person's car being a light green Ford Focus (don't ask me why). Finally, about 10 minutes after the initial Brenda announcement, a different lady comes out asking for Elena and saying she's looking for the person who is here with Renee. Ha. I guess they kept going back to Renee and telling her nobody was there to take her home.

Craig, Brad, Renee and I saw the Sex and the City movie at midnight on Thursday. It was fantastic, I'm going to see it again. Any questions?
