May Sweeps
So apparently tonight is the official start of May Sweeps. You know what that means… some tv show you’re watching is about to have a wedding, a pregnancy, a death, and/or some other cliffhanger that is designed to keep up guessing until next fall, all with the hopes of increasing ratings and ad revenues for the […]

Capturing the Moment
My fiancé and I have started to look at wedding photographers. We’re early in the process, but will hopefully have someone line up a year in advance (we’re getting married in May 0f 2013).

To wow the judges, he cooked […]

Friday Finish 04.13.12
Yes, I know it’s another Saturday posting of Friday Finish. I spent most of yesterday at the 2012 California-Nevada-Hawaii Key Club District Convention. It was 15 years to the day that I got elected Governor of that great district and my life forever changed. I’ll definitely post a blog about the experience next week. In […]

It’s too spicy!

Yesterday, I couldn’t find the recommended tomato sauce for the dish, so I went one notch hotter on the scale and […]
