New Layout

Come and see! What do you think? I’m aware it squashes my pictures, but I’m too lazy to fix that right now. I think we can cope for the time being. Tomorrow: Pumpkin Ice Cream.

Stuff From All Over

1. My pumpkin delight started last week when I made the first requisite loaves of pumpkin bread. What happened to these fabulous loaves? I sent them home with the sister missionaries, of course! Up next on my list of pumpkin treats: pumpkin ice cream (and a big thanks to Princess Mobot for reminding me!) 2. [...]

“Liz and Kate: Plus Ate” – The Great DC Cupcake Crawl Recap

The 2009 Emmy Awards – Liveblog

Neil Patrick Harris is pretty good as a host. I love that his mic is white. Someone in the audience is wearing a sequined swim cap. I wish I knew her name. They’re doing one genre at a time…I like it. I don’t like that they passed out props to the nominees, that was a [...]

Crash

Today I went on the DC Cupcake Crawl and it was great fun – mostly everything I ever dreamed it would be. But I’m definitely hurting now. 9 bakeries = 4.25 cupcakes in 7 hours (we split them up). I don’t recommend it. I don’t think I want to eat any more cupcakes for the [...]

Pumpkinhead

I think maybe fall has gotten to my head. Yes, already. I don’t know when it started exactly, but it dawned on me at some point this week that I should send pumpkin bread to my loves who are spread all over this great nation (surprise! I hate to ruin surprises on the blog, but [...]

Coordination

This has been a big week full of exciting things. First I finished my room and now I have another announcement to make. After NINE months, I finally have been offered a job. I will be the administrative coordinator for a major hospital system in the area. Doesn’t that title just sound exciting and full [...]
