Well, I just got back from an awesome weekend in New York! A total blast and feeling rested. Scott and I got some quality time away and got some important work done too. I read a GREAT book on the plane and I can’t put it down. It’s that new one from Mitch Albom (the author of “Tuesday’s with Morrie”). The book is called “To Have a Little Faith”. So far, I’m loving it! I can’t wait to get to the end. Although, don’t you hate it when you are reading something you love and there is that excitement about getting to the end- and also the sadness that it will be over? Yep, I have that with this book. I’ll let you know how it is when I’m finished.

Scott and I saw some friends in New York, we ate at some great places (you know it’s a successful trip when your pants don’t fit when you get back), we saw Avenue Q (an unbelievably funny show that was also here in Chicago), and we walked a TON.

Baked by Melissa!

We stayed in Soho and I gotta tell you we found something I am now obsessing over and can’t stop. A tiny (and I mean TINY) little shop in the street called “BAKED BY MELISSA.”

The best cupcakes!

At first we were drawn to it obviously because of the name. But after we found out what it was- and had a bite of one of the tasty treats- I could not stop thinking about it. So what is it? THE TINIEST, MOISTEST, MOST DELICIOUS LITTLE CUPCAKES YOU HAVE EVER HAD!!!  They come in 9 flavors and they are so unbelievably good. I have never seen anything so cute before in my life. Each cupcake is about the size of a QUARTER! The line was around the corner. Some of the flavors were tye die, s’mores, peanut butter n’ jelly, red velvet, OMG!! Anyway, I thought I would pass the website on to you in case you want to order some! (I do think you have to order at least 100 online, so maybe if you are REALLY REALLY hungry! LOL! Or if you are having a big party). Check it out at http://bakedbymelissa.com.

Okay I’m going to hang out with Ryan now! Plus a ton of stuff to do. The new website is close to being finished, so it should be fun. I love getting your emails, notes, letters, etc. and I love hearing from you. Keep em comin’!! We’ve got LOTS to do, you and me.

Your Friend,
Melissa
