I resorted to the predictable attempt at overcompensation, by making sugar-free cupcakes for The Partner's diabetic son. But, they were bad, you guys. They were so, so bad.
I followed an online recipe with fabulous ratings and in appearance, they looked fine.

In taste and texture? They were dense, little lumps of flour and Splenda with a flavor similar to a muffin, and an odd, chewy consistency. It's the first time that The Lawyer has actually laughed at one of my cooking/baking attempts and they were bad enough that I sent an infamous picture-laden email to our families making fun of them. Then, we stopped and picked up an ice cream cake instead (which the adults ate after the kids were in bed...and finished the whole thing...oops).
Anyway, everyone was nice and I apparently didn't offend anyone when they asked how medical school was going and I responded,
"Now is probably not the best time to ask. Because I sort of hate it."
The following day, after The Lawyer had lunched with his people, I received the following text message:
So, there you have it.
Then again, considering that The Lawyer's last girlfriend/wife planned a Caribbean vacation that she didn't want him to go on, then finally consented to "let him" come, then cheated on him with one of her co-workers when they were there, then justified her behavior when The Lawyer walked in on them, then said that he wasn't "cool" or "fun enough" for her, then threw a party the night that he moved out...
Well, it's not even hard to upgrade from that. Even without the sugar-free cupcakes.
(And now I'm done with the awful stories about our exes...for at least a few days :D)

WOW that's some pretty amazing behavior by the ex. Makes for entertaining reading though.
Still, it's nice to be referred to as an "upgrade." Nice work!
Of COURSE they would like you! :)
From what I read on here, anyone would!
Not only beautiful but brainy and funny!
Loved the story. you make me laugh.
"upgrade"
It's always reassuring to get that kind of feedback!
Can't wait until the next "exes" story!
And I'm willing to bet she's hating life now, right??
And who needs sugar-free cupcakes to impress when you have a cool red stethoscope??
Of course they LOVED you! Who wouldn't???
Congrats! Meeting the friends is always nerve wracking. Speaking of which, I'm doing that in two days, but supposed to converse in Spanish and not English. =/
And wow, quite atrocious behavior from the ex. It sounds like you both endured the extremes before finding each other. :)
Yay for being an upgrade, but boo for hating med school. It will get better.
Hahah. These last two posts were awesome. I love exes stories. Especially when you win.
Ahh, congrats! But you had nothing to worry about, you're very likeable! =). BTW, something I learned this past weekend - appearance while cooking is so important! People will usually go for desserts that look pretty. So good job on those amazing cupcakes!
