By the way, Amy... those weren't cupcakes, they were full size cakes.
(Think: "that's no moon... that's a space station!!!") 
To give it perspective, visualize cutting a basketball in half. Each half was the top of each cake.Some troubling news: my poor Mouseoholic has been extremely stressed since she got back. Apparently, things are going to h**l in a handbasket back in Australia because the folks she left in charge are not doing a good job... they're screwing things up big time. She's been up all hours of the night, almost every night, since she's been back... trying to fix all their screw-ups online. It's crazy. On top of that, there's a big turf war going on between her boss here in Houston (who is very resentful about her being gone so much...), and the team in Australia. So Mouseoholic is caught in a huge tug-of-war, and is trying to juggle a million different responsibilities all at once. Needless to say, I think her appearances here on the boards will be very limited for the next couple of months, and now I'm even worried that she may not have the time or energy to participate very much in the planning for our big meet-up in January. I fear we may not be able to do as much for our fellow M.M's as we did last year, and we're totally bummed about that. Nevertheless, let's not panic just yet. I just wanted to address the issue so as to keep y'all posted about goings-on here. Maybe it will all work out well...
You guys are always in our prayers, but we'll say an extra special one.
there will even be a chance to dance 
. If you have never eaten there it is a must do. We try to at least eat here once or even twice on each trip. But then again I am part German
