Cupcakes Ready To Go, Francisca!

The cupcakes have been iced and jimmied, Capt'n! there's a color guard bake-sale tomorrow and I believe I put in some hard, dedicated work into these! This is the first time I have made cupcakes for a bake sale because I had already perfected my brownie-baking skills. These cupcakes look pretty good, if I do say so myself. Uhh.. hold on, I'm gonna take a shower.

So only I would know that I did not come back to this computer for a few hours. I am brushing my teeth now with these cupcakes ready to go, with one specially reserved one :) Anyways, time to rant about today. It was.. much more satisfying than I thought it would be. As selfish as I have been, the thought of you joining track and having less free time for us made me sad. It was such a selfish feeling, I know, considering how it is what I put you through during band season and you don't hold me back. I have no right to hold you back and I should have all the more reason to feel proud that you're joining something. Also, I have made the play, which takes up time on my side as well. After creative writing, you went out to run with the track team; I will admit that I was a little sad, but I know I am better than that. I had marching band practice as well. Through practice we went, preparing for the Santa Parade on Saturday. Afterwards, I waited around with a few friends, checking the cast list downstairs and then chilling upstairs. I waited purposely for you; I was going to walk you home or we would walk somewhere together. That little time input was something I knew to cherish. As our seasons get a little busier, these little

moments may be what keeps us together, who knows. The guys track team came back, but I didn't see you. Adrian said you were far behind and I immediately felt worried and sad. About 10 minutes later, you appeared from down the hall, with a two others. I had the biggest smile on my face. You were okay and as it turns out, one other person had a cramp so you stuck around. Finally when your practice was done, we gathered our things and went back into band room to retrieve your jacket. I told you how happy was for you on your first day and you congratulated me for making the play cast. We both had our accomplishments, and in a sense, this feeling gave me hope. Even though were were away from each other for so long, we still found the good in today. I think this can work out. Photo is of the cupcakes!
