Twenty-Nine

| 20 Comments | No TrackBacks

My boyfriend turned twenty-nine last week.  He sure seems to be taking his sweet time catching up to me and reaching thirty.  As usual, I had a heck of a time deciding what to get for him as gifts to celebrate the occassion.  I way overthink pretty much whenever I buy anything for anyone.  I am always afraid they won't like what I bought them or that there's something else out there that I should be buying instead. 

I ended up buying a nice Patriots t-shirt.  I had a horrible time deciding on a style.  Short-sleeve or long-sleeve?  Plain solid color or multi-color?  Should get a medium or a large?  He almost always takes meduim, but the last red sox shirt I bought was a medium and it was way too small...

Turns out every item was a huge success.  He loved all the gifts.  

He also loved the cupcakes I baked, even though I thought I had ruined them because I tried to get fancy.  I tried filling one batch with peanut butter and the other with caramel (his favorite).  The peanut butter chips ended up staying on top instead of sinking down.  I couldn't find the right caramel to put in it so I settled on some rectangular chewy caramel candies.  The candies melted a little and sunk down a little, but left a hole from the top to the middle where it sunk down and the caramel ended up chewy rather than gooey.  I just slathered a bunch of frosting on top and that pretty much fixed all the issues.  They still tasted pretty yummy which, ultimately, is all that matters.   

Now that that's done, we can start the official countdown to thirty!  And I can start agonizing over what to do for the big 3-0 celebration.  :)
