little cupcake ~ FINALLY

I've been waiting FIVE MONTHS to go to Little Cupcake in Bay Ridge w my daughter. FINALLY, yesterday, we got there. It was charming...and PACKED. She had a peanut butter cupake - why - and I had coconut. Honestly, the cupcake itself was a smidge, uhm, not that moist. The frosting was AWESOME. I'll certainly give it another try. I can sometimes forego a little on the food itself, for a charming atmosphere, and it certainly has that.

PS - the photo is a rare look at Yours Truly

3rd Ave, Bay Ridge

happy presidents day.

driving around brooklyn this past month... I saw lots of valentine's decorations...as this weekend got closer, I saw some signs of the upcoming chinese new year...but this window is the one and only nod I've seen to Presidents Day.

the destruction of man. or something.

this was taken (obviously) pre-snowstorm. i have to go to ikea today. AGAIN. picked up the wrong bookcase last week. grr. anyway. will be interesting to take a look and see if he's all the way buried.

i don't know where the little rainbow in the corner came from? hope for humanity? i think so.

snowed in

caleb and i went for a long walk yesterday around 4:30, still snowing, still windy...everything was really slushy and heavy. most shops on the avenue were not open so much of the sidewalk was not shoveled. I love being out in near desolation  :-)

I wonder how many deliveries this bike had to make....
