As is my custom for no good reason, I stayed up late into the wee hours. I guess this time, it was for the best reason - my birthday! I had a glass of wine while catching up on recorded shows on my DVR. (I know, not uber exciting).Later that day, I worked from home so I got to lounge around in my jammies for most of the day. Then later in the afternoon, I went into the office for a quick half-hour meeting with a colleague.
You probably should know this about me, cake is my favorite food and I am a cupcake freak! I am also a fan of Magnolia Bakery in Manhattan. Whether you like banana pudding or not you MUST try their banana pudding it is the creamest best thing I have ever ingested in my life! Before I digress too far, I also love their cupcakes (which is what started this conversation), but I wasn't going all the way to The Village in NYC for a cupcake. Anyway, the b-day seemed like the perfect day to go on a search the perfect Philadelphia bakery.
I found one in what is now my favorite part of the city and it's called Brown Betty! I had a big issue with the name of the place though, I must say. Why? 'Cause if I ever owned a bakery, something I dream about doing, Brown Betty would be a perfect name for it. It totally applies and I am a lover of alliteration. Now I can't use the name cause they stole it! The cupcakes were good - looking forward to trying their very popular, but sold-out Red Velvet. I wonder if they have banana pudding... 
Later than night, my dearest girlfriends a.k.a. my soulmates took me out for Spanish Tapas at a new trendy restaurant. The next morning I caught a plane to Tampa to spend Thankgiving weekend with my best friend from college a.k.a. "Moi" - as she is my other self. It is a wonderful life!
