Note to self: Must make homemade pizza using Rachael Ray's baked crust method. Maybe a traditional margharita....with prosciutto....or capicola....Mmmmmmmm.

Second note to self: Paula Dean is entirely sinful and I will follow her evil orders to make a quick and easy crab soup, but I will add onions and corn. And there shall be rejoicing in the

Someday I want to write a book about my first time cooking exploits. It will be a combination recipe book and and woman's tell-all with helpful hints like ( Read more... )

The Great American Trailer Park Musical opens tonight!!! It has been so much work, but so much fun. There have been laughs and there have been tears (mostly mine, mostly related to hormones going crazy). But the spark that always brings me back to the theatre is still there. I have learned a lot from this production though. Such as, thank god this ( Read more... )

3 more precious days and then Fall quarter begins. I'm not so much worried about going back to the grind because I'm only taking one online class, but poor Matt has a full schedule as usual. I love the times when neither of us have to worry about school. It just makes life so much easier. The Trailer Park Musical won't end until the end of ( Read more... )

I always tune into the NBC morning news show while I'm making breakfast because there is no radio in the kitchen/living room to tune into NPR. Mostly I ignore the show though because I hate fluffy diversionary stories that sandwich the one or two serious news bits discussed in the A.M.

And I feel dirty about watching it because they constantly use lines of dialog that just shock you, such as "Do we have any Jews working here?" - "Not on my watch!" OMG!!! You can't _say_ that!!! Except in the 1950's people _did_. It is totally my new show. And what with all the ( Read more... )

So we've been married just over a month now and the world continues to spin just as it always did except now I live in an apartment with Matt. I was asked to participate in another show at Beavercreek Community Theatre after an extended absence and agreed quite readily. The rehearsal schedule occasionally makes spending time with Matt difficult, ( Read more... )

Well, it's official - Matt and I know what apartment we'll be living for the first...uh...well for a while, until we can afford more. He is moving into the apartment next month to give us plenty of time to start setting up house before the wedding and I move in. But today the specific apartment was finalized and it feels good to have that settled. ( Read more... )

Holy crap is it really almost April?? Where does the time go? I remember complaining and bemoaning how long my engagement is and that summer will never come - but suddenly it is nearly upon me. And there's still so much work to do! This week we have to get invitations mailed out (which means we have to finish printing and addressing them, too). On ( Read more... )
