And because there was a dessert bar at an assignment last night.

I present: CUPCAKES!

What better way to kick this thing off than by showing you my roommate?

I have to admit, she’s pretty fantastic. Lucy Belle doesn’t talk back. (Most of the time, at least.) She’s always there for me. She gets really excited when I come home from work. And she’s a really good snuggler.

She’s still not sure about the camera, though. We’re working on this.

And even though she’s a little (see: background of this photo) messy, I love her anyway.
