15. It’s seems like a lifetime ago and yet just like yesterday all the same. It was a big year for me. My birthday was in the summer so I was 15 as a sophomore (most of my friends were older and getting to drive…not that I am bitter or anything). Fifteen was the year of my first real boyfriend. He was a senior. He looked like Goose from Top Gun. I’m still surprised that my parents let me date him. Though in their defense I was a really good kid. Never got in to trouble, didn’t drink or do drugs, and always had good grades…the only time slipping in Geometry to get a boy I like to tutor me (Hi B…he reads the blog). That ploy didn’t work so I went back to just getting good grades in that class. :P I have to say he was the worst kind of boyfriend to have as a first boyfriend. Why?

Pigs in Space could always cheer me up and when Elton John sang Crocodile Rock in the swamp with the crocs singing along it was the first song ever to get stuck in my head. :) I have nothing but fond memories of that show so to show my support for the release I decided to make cupcakes with rainbow swirl frosting. It would have been much easier if I owned gel food coloring but I do not. But as you can see they still turned out just fine. Rainbow Connection Cupcakes Buttermilk … [Read more...]

Since I cannot for the life of me come up with a blog post here is a little review of 2011: 1. What did you do in 2011 that you had never done before? Had teenagers living with me every other weekend. 2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? No I did not keep mine. Every year I set a goal to gain 16 pounds. I stayed the same this year. Next year’s resolution is to gain 16 pounds. 3. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011? Financial stability 4. What's your biggest achievement of the year? Winning the Better Homes and Gardens Home Farm Challenge 5. What was your biggest failure? When I accidently added a ¼ cup of salt to a pie when I wasn’t paying attention. Luckily it was just for me and not others to eat. 6. Did you suffer illness or injury? My white cells thought it would be cool to eat my red cells. Fractured toe. Pinched nerve. 7. What was the best thing you bought? I think we all know that … [Read more...]
