A Note to Miley Cyrus: You Can Stop...and You Should Stop

I only wanted to see 'N Sync. via ...said everyone who watched the VMAs and were instead eye-raped by Miley Cyrus within the first 10 minutes of the show. CHARLES SYKES/CHARLES SYKES/INVISION/AP Why, is the main question? Why did her butt look like a raw turkey ass? Why did she do that to my man, Robin Thicke? Why did he let her? Why the constant tongue flicking? Why teddy bears...fuzzy, cute, cuddly, innocent teddy bears? via  I'd liken the world's reaction to Miley Cyrus' performance...

Weekend Update: Going Back to Cali

It seems all I can seem to muster out of my blogs these days (weeks) are weekend updates. And so far, I'm two weekends behind. I'm on the tail-end of another exhausting, yet fun weekend that was our "summer finale." This weekend basically capped off 8 weeks of non-stop traveling and just "stuff." Don't get me wrong, it's been a blast...but I'm tired. I mean, I've taken 6 naps in the past 3 days and I NEVER NAP. In any case, tonight's blog will be a quick recap of our "impromptu" weekend in L.A....

For almost 30 years, I went without breaking a bone. I've been in dance, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, golf. I've played with boys, wrestled with my sisters, been in fist fights. I've had dislocated limbs, extra bones, blood clots, seizures, blood infections, skull fractures. All of these things, and nothing broken. Until now. And bone of all bones...I broke my freakin' toe. I guess I did break my nose in a cab accident two summers ago. But that doesn't count. Let me rewind....

Pretty Little Cupcakes

If you haven't noticed, I don't post a lot of recipes on this blog, unless they are super easy. Hence, why I'm posting this today. I'm working with new client at work who makes Betty Crocker and Cake Mate decorating supplies (icing, frosting, sprinkles, cupcake liners, etc). Recently, we asked them to send us some product so we could have it on hand for photo shoots, etc. This is what we got: That, my friends, is 200 pounds of baking products. I have no idea why they sent so much, but there...
