Like she would show up with cupcakes. That would be a nice thing for her to do though. I wouldn’t be a horrible host! I would serve coffee with those delicious cupcakes. As punishment for such selfish thoughts, I should jog around the block. Obviously I have learned my lesson already, so I wont jog. Wow! What a roller coaster of emotions. I need a cupcake.
