Lemon-Honey Drop Cookies

May 23, 2011 /

Well, we had a very brief few days of sun and now we are back to the cloudy dreary weather of the Northeast. I am ready for some sunny days people!!

The Hot Lunch show was SO much fun! haha…I cannot even tell you how excited I was to watch those boys up on stage. I was even dedicated a song! Woooo! 😀 The lead singer Higgins takes a break and says “This next song is for one of our friends Raven, Raven where are you?” ::throws up arms and screams:: “AHHHH RIGHT HERE!!!” …they then proceeded to play my most favorite song of theirs called Thumbs up. I talked with Tony and Bara after the show and they both said, “we just had to add it to the set list since you asked for it.” I was the happiest girl in the world on Friday haha. It is the simple things right?! 😉

Since the sun decided to briefly say hello, I wanted to make sure I told her how happy I was that she came to say hello even if it was only for about a day or so. Maybe that will back her come back soon. Queue lemon cookies…
