Cupcake Champion

I arrived home from Israel Saturday evening, for the most part intact. Upon arriving to my office this morning, I found a package, a birthday present from my friend Kevin, with the following inside:

For some reason, he said this picture reminded him of me (my happy face? the fact that my hair looks like frosting?), but when he heard that I was recently crowned the *ahem* female cupcake eating* champion** in my ward***, he couldn't resist. I like it too, because this picture makes me smile.

Thanks Kevin! This will be hung in a place of prominence, for sure.



* It was not a contest for the number of cupcakes you could eat. It was a contest of how fast you could eat one frosted cupcake, still in the wrapper, with only one hand. (The other hand had to be behind your back.)
** The verdict is still out as to whether I am proud or slightly ashamed of this title. But to be honest, I surprised even myself at how fast I could eat a single cupcake.
*** I say female champion, not because the contest was divided into genders, but because I actually came in second, losing by about a half a second to a 19-year-old guy in the finals. (I beat several guys in the tournament style event, including one of the missionaries.) I should have beat him in the finals...
