This morning I got an e-mail from WordPress with my blog stats for the year: How many posts I published, how many photos and some of the most popular posts. Then Toby suggested I do a post about the top 10 recipes of 2010. According to my site statistics, bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin was by far […]
Happy 2011! Sorry I haven’t posted since Christmas – I have been at my parents’ house in Michigan doing a lot of eating, a lot of shopping and even a little swimming. One of my new year’s resolutions is to lose 25 pounds so I have been getting a jump-start on exercise this week. My […]
It’s almost Christmas! Today I was going to give you cookies AND photos of 10 lords-(aka hot guys)-a-leaping, but it is surprisingly difficult to find photos of hot guys jumping. Instead, here is Knowshon Moreno leaping over a dude, and nine good-looking-guys-not-leaping: Matt Damon, Tom Brady (pre-Bieber hair) and Mark Sanchez, James Blake, Cristian de […]
This is not about eating or swimming, but it is marginally about shopping: A few weeks ago, I signed up for ballet at Maryland Hall. Those who knew me in elementary school will not be surprised at all by this fact. I started taking ballet when I was about 2 years old and continued until […]
with the photos on my blog posts. There should be lots of photos with all the recipe posts, but right now I am not seeing any on the key lime pie or meringue posts. I apologize for the inconvenience and I will try to get to the bottom of this! Let me know if you […]
Today is the first day of school for University of Maryland students and a few school districts in this area, and classes have already started at University of Georgia and elsewhere. Listening to the news on the radio this morning made me think about my many first days. I really do love going to school (I graduated […]
It seems like half of the people I know are training for a triathlon right now. Every time I log on to Facebook, I am inundated with updates about how far people ran (and how fast), how awesome their bike workout was, etc. I usually respond to this by getting a bowl of ice cream […]
Y’all, I love beauty pageants. When I was a little girl, I used to stage elaborate versions of Miss America in which I would represent 10 or so different states (the number generally depended on the number of bathing suits I could find) and make my babysitters judge. I always rigged it so Hawaii or […]
So, I have a lot of hair. The color of that hair varies. When I was little, it was what you might call dirty blond. For the past two years (and for most of high school), it was auburn. Then I decided I wanted it really, really blond. Like Gwyneth on the cover of August […]
Why is it that there are 100 different products to add volume to your hair, and none to get rid of it? The reason I’m asking is that my hair — which starts out straight and normal-ish each morning — grows to 80s-era Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader size every afternoon. Not exactly what I’m going for. […]
