3. Baking

I like to bake, and hopefully, now that I am done with the wedding, and not taking any classes, I will actually have time to do more of it. This weekend I plan on making a couple different yummies. And I like to experiment with creating and tweaking recipes. This is a lot easier if you know the science to baking, like what will happen if ( Read more... )

Today Spag and I babysat our neighbor's 2 little boys for about 4 hours. Ages 3 and 6. Adorable, at times hilarious, and exhausting! And a reminder that we really don't want kids of our own. We'll take care of kids that we can give back, and dote upon other people's kids, but none we have to keep, thanks. We don't have any interest in tricking a ( Read more... )

Spag and I just got home from a very interesting/odd-at-times/fun long weekend in Vegas. We stayed at the Mirage Hotel & Casino ( Read more... )

So Spag is in love with this mountain meadow valley town in the Ogden Valley. There are 3 little towns up there: Liberty, Huntsville, and Eden. And yes they are beautiful in the spring  and summer. However, in the past 10 days they got 70 inches of snow. 70 inches in 10 days!!!!! It was even on CNN, nationally! Spag wants to move there someday, and ( Read more... )

We have big fluffy snowflakes falling. Spag is VERY excited. The ski resorts have gotten more than a foot of snow inside the last 36 hours. down here in the valley it has just begun and won't stick more than a couple days.

Also, I am feeling much better than I was. Still not 100%, I still woke up with coughing fits during the night, but it wasn't ( Read more... )

Everyone has to post A LOT. that way I won't feel so homesick for my friends. I don't miss Michigan, and most of my family has already left, but i do really, miss my friends. Will ya'll post bunches for me and Spag? Pwetty pwetty pweese??? :( So we don't feel so alienated?

So this week has been interesting. Worked my ass off on homework on Tuesday and Wednesday. Then on my way home from class Wednesday night my car decided to not drive anymore, about 2 miles from home. No more car for me. It is fixable, but will cost like $175 unless my dad can find a scrapyard part. My car is only worth like $500. I am still ( Read more... )

So Chris just informed that I have a  "it's so cute" face. And apparently I make it primarily when looking at kittens. The things people learn about you when they live with you....

The neighbors moved out 2 days ago. It is now Saturday morning. And the apartment complex is already refurbishing the apartment. they started at 7:30 in the morning!!!! On a Saturday!! of course this wakes everyone up. Except Chris who can sleep thru anything. Seriously, 7:30 on a Saturday? Right on the other side of my bedroom wall. Great ( Read more... )

Alright guys and dolls....This weekend I'm doing my last attempt at hosting a PartyLite party. the last ones (real ones, my practice one was a most beneficial practice run). I have tried a few time before and soundly failed. So, if anyone is interested in candles, or just moral support, it's at our house this Saturday, Jan. 26 at 6 pm. I will have ( Read more... )
