Today is Purim. Heard of it? It’s awesome. Purim is a holiday full of festivities, costumes, gifts, and general good cheer. The Purim story has scandal, manipulation, one really evil fella, a righteous dude, a cool queen, and plenty of intrigue. That evil dude is named Haman and we hate him so much, when reading [...]

It’s been a very green and pink couple of weeks for me. First I made an adorably-whimsical birthday cake and followed that up with these little baby shower onesie cookies. I’m finally learning to plan ahead a bit so I can afford the time it takes to add many of the little details. I’d like [...]

Here are a few things about her: Melissa and I met because we were apparently the only two girls in our writing seminar who did sports. Turns out we did the same sport. Gymnastics. The first time I did [...]

Baking, baking, baking! I went crazy this past week. Ninety-five sugar cookies, 8 dozen cupcakes, and one adorable candy corn cake later, I’m still not done. I’m on a baking roll. But I’m not baking rolls. We had a harvest festival at work this past weekend. They have moon bounces, face painting, food, and pumpkins [...]

I am a rebel. I mean, I’m sure you all knew that already, but seriously, I am a culinary wild child. It’s ridiculous. How they even let me into the kitchen, I don’t know. And how I make it out…another one of life’s greatest mysteries. You want to know what I did to earn this [...]

I went house hunting this weekend. With the roomies being hitched and all, it seems like it’s time to start thinking about moving out. I’ve got a new roommate all lined up, so we went out this weekend to find our future abode. I haven’t gone to look for a house since I first moved [...]

My roommates got married last weekend. Yes roommateS. To each other. Although it would be quite the coincidence of they were getting married to different people. I didn’t always live with an engaged (and now married) couple though. When I first moved to my current place it was just me and one-half of the couple. [...]
