The internet bought me a birthday present.
I am speechless. Blown away. Flabbergasted. Bowled over. Gobsmacked. Overcome. Overwhelmed. Astounded. Astonished. Moved. Weepy. And most of all, feeling loved.
Okay, so maybe I’m not speechless. I have a tendency to over-exaggerate.
What has me bubbling over with glee? The internet. The internet bought me a birthday present. The most bestest birthday present ever.
(Sidenote. I’m interviewing for a job that I really want. If they happen to read my blog, I just want to let them know that I know that bestest isn’t really a word. But it sure does sound fun.)
Booyah…
What started out as a ha-ha during a marathon cookie making event (read: your typical Monday night) turned into many, many lovely people Tweeting, sharing, emailing, and donating. Super, duper, squish-you-till-you-can’t-breath hugs and thanks go out to everyone listed below, plus those that Tweeted, messaged, poked fun, and cheered us on.
Cathy • Emily • Ken • Rob • Toni • Ashley • Cindy • Erin • Beth • Danel • Amanda• Kristin • Mom & Dad • Sheena • The Q • Lori • Chrissy • Tabitha • Daly • Marni • Terry • Erica • Elizabeth • Mike • Monica • Heather • Cindy • Leigh Ann • Megs • Emily • Jennifer
Whoever says the internet is a mean, ugly place needs to know the wonderful people I know and enjoy a few more cupcakes. They both make life better.
I’m headed to the outlets today to pick up my new baby! Then I’m going to whip up a batch of cupcakes and make a donation to Feeding America. Could there possibly be any better way to spend my birthday? I think not.
Thank you.
xoxo.
If you donated and your name isn’t listed or linked, please let me know! I don’t want to miss a single person!
Also, if you donated and want to make sure I held up my end of the bargain, I’d be happy to provide a receipt for my donation to Feeding America. Just email!

Two things: 1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 2. YEAH! I am so happy that you’re getting a new baby, er, mixer! Want to use it to make some cupcakes/cookies/anything for Austin Bakes for Japan?

Thanks! When is the event? I’m sick right now so I probably shouldn’t bake anything for public consumption, but let me know how else I can help!

Thanks! Maybe I’ll go on tour. Me and my mixer will visit everyone that contributed and bake them a batch of cookies of their choice. I think it’s brilliant.

Yay!! I’m waiting for cookies to arrive in Florida! I love the idea of a road tour! You and I could hop over to Disney for a ride on Haunted Mansion too. I miss you and Happy Birthday (a little late since I was visiting Mickey).
