The speed of what?

So tomorrow, I have a date. Now, for those of you who are panicking right now : “why didn’t you call me? I have to find out through your blog?” I have to explain.  This isn’t really a date.  The Manhattan Stake is having a speed dating event. If a congregation is called a ward, [...]

Liveblogging the 2009 Academy Awards

The Swarovski crystal curtain is gorgeous. I love it. And I really do love what they did with the stage. The band is on stage, behind everything which is a nice touch. When they said they were taking the band out of the pit, I was a little worried. I feel like putting the band [...]

And I love the giant cocktail rings everyone is rocking.  I’m disappointed by Kate Winslet’s dress (Yves St. Laurent). Why can’t we get over the one shoulder look already? Her earrings and hair are lovely though.  Diane Lane looks stunning. Did [...]

The one where I make a cake upside down – on purpose

Because I sometimes get confused about who I live with and how they are all related to each other, I thought I should make a chart to help us remember who everyone is:It gets bigger if you click on it, and it’s funny, so enjoy.  Anyway, today is Chef S’s birthday, so last night I [...]
