Red Velvet Cupcakes

I had my first Red Velvet cupcake in New York believe it or not. Since then they've been my favourite. Starbucks in the month of February had Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese icing too, and I probably had about 10 that month. So my mom and I decided to make some of our own. They turned out great and were a big hit with my friends. What's not to love?

Been Such a Long Time

So feels like a long time since I've posted, mostly because it has been. I've been busy busy busy. This weekend I hope to upload some pics and do some posts. I'm even behind on my magazine reading...sigh. Not enough hours in a day.

Guess Where I'm Going...

It's official! The trip is paid for (well it's on my MasterCard) and we leave May 12th, 2010!!! Only 72 more days! Can't wait to hear those accents ;)

Golf in the Dark

Last week we went to play Glow in the Dark mini golf at this place in Cambridge called the Putt Hutt. Amy thought the golf ball was a ghost...

We ended up doing more horsing around and less mini golfing. I think we managed to keep score until hole 5...We each got a glow in the dark bracelet and a ball and a club...and I'm pretty sure this place is meant for Birthday parties for 8 year olds. Oh well we did have some fun, even if it cost $9.95 :)

Arizona Style

Feast your eyes on some resent presents brought back from Arizona. Not really sure where I'm going to wear them...

Mumford & Sons

For my second show of 2010 I was delighted to see the British act Mumford & Sons yet again. I had first seen them in 2008 when my sister convinced me to go to a show. These guys are great - and hot! They had a great time and I love when bands are having as much fun as me. It's like we're in it together. I knew the show was sold out, but like at 7:30pm (doors were at 8pm) there was already a line up of over 100 people - something I've never seen at Lee's Palace before. The crowd was obviously excited.

A local Toronto band, The Sunparlour Players, did a pretty impressive two man show. At first I thought I was going to be disappointed, but I wasn't. They had an indie, country, folk, rock vibe - but doing it all in black suits.

Mumford played a great set, with some new tracks and all the "old favourites". They were surprised that people knew the words to their songs - but of course we do. They joked around with us and told jokes and were just overall cute and perfect. For their encore they dd one of the songs unplugged - literally. Marcus played the drums for some songs and the others he played guitar - showing his talent as a musician. The crowd called Ted a wanker, somewhat of an inside joke it seemed. There were two nice girls in front of us (in our usual spot actually) who we chatted with before and after sets who were really nice and told us more about the collective that Mumford is apart of. Oh and you can't forget the old guy near us who was slightly inebriated yelling at everyone that he couldn't see.
