Friday Five

1. This PSA from Funny or Die: I worship the writers of The West Wing.  I secretly want to work in politics in hopes of meeting a Deputy Chief of Staff like Josh Lyman or a Press Secretary like CJ Cregg.  So not only does this make me reminisce about the good 'ol days of Bartlet for America but it's got a great message too.

2. When the Master's was played last month, I was rooting up a storm for Phil Mickelson of course.  When it came down to Oosthuizen or Watson, I started rooting up a storm for Louis.  I've never been a huge fan of Bubba's and when he won, I was not a happy camper.  But if he's going to continue to do things like this, I might just have to jump on the Bubba train! I'm guessing when Tiger Woods was on top of his game, he never pulled out to spend time with his family.  If he had, he may not be in the situation he's in now.

3. Pho Ga from An Loi: Absolutely Delicious and packed full of rice noodles, chicken and yumminess!

4. Eating outside: The weather has finally gotten nice enough to eat on restaurant patios.  There's just something so relaxing about eating outside rather than in.  I even think the food tastes better! 

5. I've given up on cupcakes based on the last few soul-crushing experiences I've had.  (Icing is the bane of my existence!) But I need someone to have a summer themed party so I can put myself through the cupcake pain again in hopes of turning out something (hopefully) as cute as this cake.

You can find the how-to guide over at Cupcakes Take the Cake.  You'll be amazed at how simple the design is yet I would never have thought of it in a million years.
