I cannot solve all of the world's problems, but I can solve the ones involving muffin tins

On Friday, I met some friends for dinner and a movie. We planned dinner early, figuring we'd have to wait for a table. We didn't, so we were quite early for the movie. We bought tickets and walked down to Barnes and Noble. I bought the latest book club book. I couldn't remember the name of the book, so the clerk helped me find it.

Clerk: Oh dear. This is our last copy, and it's damaged.
WG: Damaged?
Clerk: Yes. This page is bent. I can call around to other stores in the area and see if they have it, or I can just give you a 10% discount.
WG: A discount will be fine!

We then saw Little Miss Sunshine. You must see it. It was one of the most thoroughly enjoyable movies I've seen in a while.

Saturday, I worked at the Food Bank in the morning and went to Lazy Daze (an arts fair down the street from my house). Went home, took a nap, got ready for a date. (Through no effort on my part, the shortest dating moratorium in the history of the world has ended.) Dinner, then we met up with friends to see this band.

This morning, 2.0 called. "We're making cupcakes and I don't have enough muffin tins. Can I borrow one?" (I heard her mother in the background, complaining about the muffin tin shortage.) She came up, borrowed a muffin tin, crisis averted.

Why the urgent muffin tin need? The Boo turned one today, and they were having a party. With my new favorite drink, summer cocktail! (That was for the adults. The babies and the dog, try as they might, did not get any.) Not only did the Boo get chocolate cupcake all over him, but also all over my skirt. Not a lot of people who could get away with that.

Oooh! What's in a "summer cocktail"?
