"Life is a party. Dress up." - K.Ricci

Hi! My name is Kyle. Yes, said just like a boy's name, but no my parents didn't want a boy. I started this blog because I enjoy reading others' blogs so much. I thought I'd like to share my day to day with not only family and friends, but others like me.

You'll see a lot of baking, daily outfits, my yorkie Oscar and the time I spend doing not so special things. I'm also a single girl and I think that is something everyone can identify with. The struggles of dating and building relationships.

So this is STILL my tumblr where it's all about me, me, ME!

Blogging on Eastwick

  • Max: Let me guess - more of that fabulous blogging you been doing? You know that last post about your mother's favorite teapot was RIVETING stuff.
  • Joanna: you know, don't mock the blog.
  • Max: I'm not mocking it. I'm telling you straight up, you blog blows.
  • Joanna: Is there no end to your charm?
  • Max: It's lazy. It's got no point of view. no personality.

The school my Mom has worked at since I was in third grade closed at the end of the last school year.  She’s now working at this charming cafe in Old Folsom that’s owned by her friend… none other than Karen! I had their homemade granola and a cinnamon twist.  Kaila had a ham and cheese croissant. It was lots of fun, can I use charming again?  No, too annoying? Anyways if you like in the greater Sacramento area you should go check it out.  Take your hot roomie if you have one like me and indulge!

After breakfast Kaila and I walked around Old Folsom while a craft fair was going on. There were SO many cute shops with tons of treasures we would have loved to take home!  Unfortunately the treasures weren’t in our current budget.  The major downside to this holiday season is the whole buying presents for others. haha! Kaila thinks that we need to start scouring for a chest like this to paint up like this!

I took this picture for Kendall because I know she’s looking for a type of shabby chic inspiration in her new place. She really wants a chandelier which can be incredibly costly. The amazing thing about this is it’s a regular lampshade, but turned upside down!  I think this could be a fairly simple DIY project.

I got a last-minute invitation to join Alice, Lindsey and Brad for another Stockton Thunder game!  Seriously, I can’t get enough.  These games are always so fun, the tickets are usually free so what’s not to love?! I find it hysterical that random lady in the background giving us bunny ears?  Oookay??

Being at these games reminds me of the soccer games I’ve seen on tv.  Everyone is enthusiastic and so in to the game, its hard NOT to enjoy yourself.

This video was taken right after they scored a goal and the celebrating that takes place after each goal!

Cupcake Taste Test Challenge

whatiwore:

WhatIWore: Just a week ago, I got an e-mail from Crumbs Bake Shop asking if I’d like to do a taste test and post on some of their cupcakes… although its not my normal thing, I like sweets so I thought I would give it a try. This Tuesday, my sweet six (plus a half a dozen wedding cupcakes!!!) arrived and we could not wait to get tasting! (And in reference to the above photo, I know I look a little possessed! The excitement was getting to me!)

Armed with a notepad for scoring and camera for documenting we got started. We both agree, hands down, these are the best cupcakes we’ve ever eaten. Each flavor was incredible moist. Here are our comments on each:

Raspberry Swirl - Adam’s Favorite, Jessica’s Runner Up

  • Jelly, Icing and Cake flavors all go together well
  • Adam says “Jelly tastes fresh, way better than in a jelly donut”
  • Simple Presentation
  • Surprise inside: Yes

Cappuccino - Jessica’s Favorite, Adam’s Runner Up

  • We were both speechless after our first bite, REALLY GOOD (actually Adam said this was his favorite after eating it, but changed his mind to Raspberry Swirl because its “more his thing”
  • The coffee flavored icing tastes like good coffee smells
  • Complimentary Flavors
  • Baby Chocolate Chips on top
  • Surprise inside: Yes

Red Velvet

  • One of Adam’s top 3
  • Sprinkles on top made it too sugary for me
  • Good if you like Red Velvet (says Adam, I just don’t like the flavor in general)
  • Surprise inside: No

Grasshopper

  • Beautiful Presentation
  • I liked the mint frosting, Adam didn’t
  • VERY chocolaty (a little too much chocolate for us actually)
  • Surprise inside: Yes

Pumpkin

  • In both our top 3
  • Not too sweet (I had the second half for breakfast later on)
  • Hint of orange
  • Adam’s favorite frosting
  • Surprise Inside: Yes

Apple Caramel

  • Reminded us both of Apple Spice Cake
  • Wish there was more caramel (frosting?)
  • Cake is more like a muffin
  • Would be a nice partner to the Pumpkin
  • Surprise Inside: Yes

Hungry yet?  Crumbs.com is giving out 15% off any order (excluding shipping and tax) using checkout code WHATIWORE15 through December 31, 2009. AND… I’m giving out THREE $20 gift cards!

Some people just dont get it!

  • Me: [hand over my vacation request form for my birthday]
  • General Manager: You know, you don't HAVE to take the day off.
  • Me: Yes I do.
  • GM: It's not like your 12 or something.
  • Me: Hey! How long have we worked together? Just because I'm aging on the outside doesn't mean I am on the inside?!
