Painful week ends with a much needed Cupcake!

I am a lover of all things sweet and fun.  This past week was neither.  Boo hiss.  I had a little bit of a medical emergency earlier in the week which put me out of commission for three days at the toy store.  I hate being sick and missing work which is why I basically never do it.  Could not be helped this week.  A nice side to the whole situation was seeing how great my staff is, which I, of course, already knew.  :)  I really cannot say enough nice things about the girls that work for me in the store.  They put up with standing on their feet all day, dealing with mean customers and crying kids, lots of deliveries and sometimes lots of downtime, but they always come through for me and do their best.  I actually called for coverage from the ER, while laying on a gurney with an IV in my arm, and my Saturday Sidekick cancelled her appointments for the day and worked the afternoon, even though it would mean working 6 out of 7 days this week.  They all rearranged their schedules to cover my absence.  Love them more than I can say.  I hope they all know it!
After three days at home I had enough and headed into work on Saturday.  I wasn't sure how I was going to feel but I really needed to get back to the store.  Saturday was my LAST Cupcake Saturday with my Saturday Sidekick.  :(  She is leaving me to go to grad school at the end of this coming week.  I knew that we both deserved cupcakes after the hellish week we both had!  Unfortunately, the dreaded Boston Creme Pie was the flavor of the day, so we decided to go Old School and get ones we both knew we enjoyed.  Mine is always Funfetti....which was soooo good and sugary.  It has a vanilla cupcake with rainbow jimmies throughout and is topped with pink strawberry frosting that is also jammed packed with jimmies.  I think I have mentioned before that I wish this one had creme in the middle, but honestly with my weakened state it might have been just too much sugar for my system!  :) Just what I needed in my worn out state.  My Sidekick got Rockin' Red Velvet, which I will assume was good since she was pretty quiet once she dug in.  :)  She also declared it delicious, which is a good sign. 
Ah, the last official Cupcake Saturday.  I am planning on continuing the tradition, but I might be working solo on Saturdays due to the slowing down of the business in the fall.  I am not sure how the hours of Cupcake Charlie's will coincide with my hours either so I might not be able to continue the tradition faithfully.  I will try my best.  My sidekick and I have promised each other to at least have some sort of Sweet Saturday across the miles (she is only in Boston, but it seems sooooo far) and we are going to email each other pics of our weekly treats.  I will keep this updated, even if it ends up being something sweet but not Cupcake Charlie's.  I think I like the idea of Sweet Saturday!  It broadens my horizons. Time to break out and try other sweet treats besides cupcakes, right?  Anyway, let's hope this week is much sweeter than the last!
