My weekend was chock-full of parties. (Three, to be exact.) It was so busy that I actually looked forward to coming back to work, to my quiet desk, on Monday morning. (Not kidding.)
(1) HERE’S TO THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!
On Friday night, I helped my BFF celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday at Departure, a ritzy bar on top of The Nines hotel in Portland.
(2) CONGRATS, GRAD!
Despite my late night—which included a pit stop at my favorite taco truck for a greasy pork burrito—I woke up early on Saturday morning and trotted my pajama-clad self to the grocery store for ingredients to bake: (a) chocolate chip walnut cookies, (b) cupcakes with sprinkles and (c) a very complicated salted fudge with walnuts and a crunchy-cookie crust, from a recipe in this month’s Martha Stewart Living. (Yes, I subscribe.) With all these parties to attend and not a darn clue what to get anyone, I decided to take the homemade-from-the-heart route. (Big success, btw.)
On Saturday evening, Jeff and I showed up at his brother’s college-graduation party with cupcakes that screamed “WAY TO GO!” in edible letters. Five other girls brought homemade cupcakes too—which I totally didn’t anticipate—but even so, they were a hit (especially with the two-year-olds, what with the rainbow sprinkles and all).

(3) SUITED FOR DAD
Sunday was Father’s Day. While Jeff made chocolate chip walnut cookies for his dad, I put my salted fudge in a suit-and-tie embellished Tupperware container (also inspired by Martha Stewart Living), complete with a handcrafted note on top. We went to my parents’ house for presents, dinner and Bocee Ball. I love seeing my dad as happy as he was on Sunday. ♥
