Flattery will get you everywhere.

So my friend came over today to give me some cupcakes.
She said that when someone's birthday comes up,
she thinks about that person, and what qualities she likes in them.
So she said, "Of course you are nice, and kind, and funny..." (of course)
"But I think the one thing that's great about you is that you always leave people wanting more. I don't know if it's your o.c.d....no, that's not it, what's the word? Ummm..."
Me: Uh, a.d.d.?
"Yes! That's it! A.D.D.! I always come away feeling like I want more, because you're always off on another subject when I'm still back at the other one."
Yes, it's just a skill I've deve...LOOK! A squirrel!

Seriously, that made my day.

P.S. Go try This recipe for sugar cookies with icing. Liz sent me a box of them (I think the ones in the picture, and they were THE best I've ever had. REALLY, REALLY delicious and super cute. Thanks Liz!

That's funny! I must have a.d.d. because I am always changing the subject.

What a fun thing to have a friend say about you. And I love that idea, of going over and telling people what you like about them on their birthday.
Of course, cupcakes are nice, too!!

Cupcakes, sugar cookies, and a compliment. What more could a girl ask for on her birthday?

I'm excited to try the sugar cookie recipe. Frosted sugar cookies are my all time favorite dessert ever!

Okay, I totally agree with her and totally disagree too. I ABSOLUTELY know what she means about wanting more, but it can't be the conversational ADD. Because I have that worse than ANYONE and I certainly don't leave people wanting for more.

You have friends that bring you cupcakes? Lucky.
