Hmm had a very interesting run-in which my friend R (who I met through Nikki lol) which made it abundantly clear he's interested in me. Gotta think on that a little.
Have people over tonight for a kind of Oktoberfest thingy. The guinness bittersweet chocolate cupcakes turned out fantastic and are a huge hit. I'll post the recipe later!
((((((Everyone)))))))

(((Michelle))) Glad to see that the tests are positive, but in a good way...LOL. The stuff with H is also a positive, he has a long way to go, but at least he is on the path and not running hell-bent-for-leather the other way anymore.
Have fun at Oktoberfest and looking forward to the recipe and more info about "R"

Like I said, total good stuff.
The party was pretty fun. Just 7 people including me and my roommate. Some good food, beer, and good company. It was quite nice.
I don't know what's up with the guys! LOL I guess it's just cuz I'm comfortable hanging out with guys since I work with so many of them and have so many guy friends?
H has been pretty quiet. I probably will see him tomorrow actually as I need to pick up a duffel bag from him.

Your cupcakes are a close variation to a cake I've made before. Yummy stuff.
Hmmmm interesting about "R." I don't know him all that well, have only met him a couple times when he joined "S" for a happy hour or something. I'd definitely give that one quite a bit of thought... he's tried to date just about every one of "S's" friends and it always seems to turn out pretty badly. Not sayin' that would always be the case and for sure he could be a fun guy, just sayin' I'd think hard before jumping into anything more serious. (guess that's true of ANY guy though... )
