Martha Stewart's Lavender-Iced Brownie Cupcakes. Yum. I want to open up a bakery. Yep, you heard me. At first I wanted to open up a cupcake shop. That dream started back in 2001 when I decided I wanted to be a pastry chef. Meh. That didn't happen. Then, in 2003 my friend and I wanted to open up a bakery that sold bagels AND cupcakes.

Me, The Girl Next Door, posing as a Siamese Princess I may or may not be recycling an inspiration from an old post, you guys. This post is similar to one I wrote back in 2009 entitled One Day I'll Get Life Right.

So, I have a dance show in 25 days! I just wish that time flew by faster. Why you ask? Because by the time this show is over I will then only have 39 more days until I get to go back to Vegas and sleep in my very own bed and have a pool where there aren't 87 other people trying to swim in it or lay out by it. Oh, and of course no cold weather or snow outside and no more of The Hills or My Super

I hope everyone has these same hopes for themselves.Let me thinksss.... :I would like to quit carbonation yet

AND today (12/17) marks the 36th year since my lovely parents were married!!!! Yay to them and 36 happy years of marriage together. That's barely a dent on eternity. I love you both!

He had been suffering from a rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that is most often fatal. Most treatments are ineffectual. The only successful treatment is lung transplantation. Mr. Goulet had been in intensive care at Cedars Sinai since October 14, 2007.At the

I was talking to someone and they brought up a scripture...D&C 136:29.This scripture is actually right after another scripture I hear a lot, being a dancer and all..."If thou art merry, praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing, and with a prayer of praise and thanksgiving." However, as cool as that scripture is, that is not the one I wanted to bring up. Verse 29 is the one the

So, ladies, do you ever get cramps sooooo bad that it feels like you've been shot with a .45 and someone is trying to dig out the bullet with a machete (now that's if the bullet stayed in you)? Well, that's me today! I can't even move. I get lightheaded. Food isn't appetizing. Swallowing pills makes me want to gag unbearably for hours. Nauseated. Blurry-ish vision. Cold with the chills. Feels

What now...?

2007-10-14T21:39:00.000-07:00

Wow my life is boring! Things come and go....fun times in dancEnsemble. The Office. Slurpees. Boys. Then comes the part where I get sore from dancing. The Office isn't all that fun as an hour long special. Slurpee machines being broken. Boys? Don't even get me started. It's just hard when I'm either frustrated with THEM for many reasons or with no dates OR when they come over unexpectedly and

So, my roommate has a myriad of wedding magazines around our place and on our coffee table happens to be the Martha Stewart Wedding Edition. I have flipped through its 8,700 pages many times...and finally today I noticed one of the pages said something that made me gasp out loud LITERALLY! I have hated this specific page because the model has the worst posture ever invented but how did I miss

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when I say the word "lollipop?"

Heartburn, Nausea, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrhea

2007-09-21T22:09:00.000-07:00

Um, so no I don't have any of these symptoms thank heavens. I just love to hate that song and those commercials. Who thought that people grabbing their butts whilst singing "Diarrhea" was a great idea for a commercial? This must be another reason why the French hate us Americans. Yet I must stand tall and say along with Lee Greenwood that I'm still definitely 'proud to be an American.' And I

You people are da rude-est! But anyway, I don't care what you people say. Your words don't hurt me. I think you all must have scared Ryan away!!! P.S. is he even alive? I got asked how he was doing and all I could say was that he is done with BYU and not married. I can't even tell people about my own cousin. The mystery continues.Well, so here is the scoop with me. I want to chop my hair off. I

So, I just realized that since I have no children or husband or boyfriend or school (yet) I have nothing to blog about at the moment. I guess I could talk about tour but all I can say that it was awesome and I'd definitely go back to Venice, perhaps Florence cuz of Michelangelo's David, and Paris!!! I'm just glad to be back where I have access to a washer and dryer, North American outlets,

I Wanna Meet That Dad!

2007-08-25T12:46:00.000-07:00

So this has nothing to do with meeting that dad or anything Eric and whatever his name is...SALAME! Every time i saw the word salame (as in the meat) in Italy I said it like SALAME! My friends gave me some deertay looks! hahaha If they only knew of the madness!So anyway, I thought I'd let you all know that I am doing fabulous. I am home now. I had my first Slurpee when we left the airport. Yes on

So, I'm in France right now. Cloudy. Rainy at times. Crepes. Good mild cheese on a baguette. But then there's the sucky humidity and Euros and drunk French men that pull me up on stage to dance and press me up close to their pot belly and breath smoke and beer all over my Polka Quadrille costume...bleh. Oh a funny story.IT IS FUN HOWEVER!!! I wish you all could be here with me! Sad story. But I

Well here is my weekend of fun...I guess that will have to do.I went to a wedding of a cousin that I BARELY know. How sad is that? But he was grateful I came to his lovely event.

Kissy, I went and took your advice from 2 blogs ago. But do you really want me to share publicly? "I don't think so, Tim!"Anyway, I said that I would find a new story about my crazy A roommates...well, Jillian, I mean Jill, I mean Ian, likes to eat the leaves and stems off of strawberries.

So, yes, this trip was fabulous as you all either know from experience or know from reading the 87 blogs from all the gallies who traveled down to Dinnysan! I loved that we rode Tah Teh 4 times in a day. I hated that our picture didn't come out because someone, as Susan put it, was being naughty!!! I loved our lunch the first day. I hated that after we ate we were stuck in Tomorrowland on the

BYU is Full of Them!!!

2007-04-12T16:32:00.000-07:00

There are some really nice people at BYU...For example, today I was in the women's locker room touching up on my make-up and a girl walked past me and said, "You have really pretty hair!" I thought "did she see my hair today?" because it was of the nappy. I scrunched it last night, woke up today and didn't do a thing to it...which means I had day-old hair---dry and nappy. That comment pretty much

Can YOU tell the difference?

2007-04-12T12:24:00.001-07:00

What is it with people and not being able to tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi? That's like not knowing the difference between sugar and salt...they look the same but they sure as heckfire don't taste the same! In my marketing class a couple weeks ago my teacher brought up a study where a HUGE majority of the sample couldn't tell the difference between the two. And I screamed outloud

Am I done yet???

2007-04-06T12:01:00.000-07:00

So next Fall is going to be awesome!!! I won't have dance at all on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays!!! That means I can actually go home for a weekend if I fancied that idea (which of course I do...or how about a trip to DL)!!! I will have 3 Geography classes on MWF; Church History and Aerobic Teaching on TTh; and maybe Dance Ensemble on TTh (3-4:30p) as well! Here is what my schedule will look

What is a girl to do!? I know that reading my scriptures and praying are key, but I still feel as if I'm failing in life.I miss home; I miss my whole family; I miss Digger for some odd reason (chello! can you say 9 years ago?); I miss being an A student; I miss folk dance just a bit (and oddly enough I'm still in folk dance); I miss dancing with my whole body; I miss Coke; I miss Sonic runs; I

They NOW have a college program! I want to play that game!!! The last time I auditioned it was just for WDW.

I don't know what they are doing but I've been sitting here wondering where to start this blog. How weird is it that I have nothing to say or to share? Crazy I know!!! Well, here is what my brain has been thinking as I have been swivelling left

So, I do believe that it has been since 1998 that the Oblad family has taken a family picture...Riley was itty bitty, I had nasty 8th grade Brinley hair, Casey was the size of a peanut, mom had long hair, Kenzie was wearing clogs and socks...can I just say denim and Old Navy button ups???!!! Soooo many changes y'all!!! You try and count them!Actually, we did take a picture in the Nelson's front
