Recipe: Lemon-Drenched Lemon Cake

A few weeks ago, I came across a recipe for lemon cake on the Siriously Delicious blog. If you've never seen this blog, and you feel like drooling to the point of short-circuiting your keyboard, I suggest you check it out. She's always posting recipes and photos that make me look down at my Uncrustable in shame and wish I was more business-in-the-front like her. This is my attempt. LEMON-DRENCHED LEMON CAKE INGREDIENTS 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 2 1/2 tsp baking powder Pinch of salt 2 1/3 cups sugar 1 1/2 tsp...

Once Upon a Time, I Wore a Wig to a Frat Party.

I don't know why, but I've been on a hair kick lately. More specifically, I was thinking about a hair "fall" I used to have. For those of you who don't know, a fall is basically a clip on ponytail. You know, something really stupid like this. One night- I must have been around 20 or 21- I was going to a frat party at UCLA. Since I had short hair, and short hair at a frat party pretty much means no one would spit on you if you were on fire, I decided to clip on my magic hair. I remember I was wearing something equally...

Hairstyles That Should Be Allowed Nowhere. On Any Planet. Ever.

I don't care if she can see the future, she needs to start seeing the present.  Stupid.com  Straight bangs with curly hair. Her own babies can't even bare to look at it.  You're not fooling anyone with those natural looking hair extensions. I know this is a wig, but I used it as an excuse to throw her ugly ass in here too.  I saw these two pix and they were too good to pass up. Lol. Haters wanna hate.  The fuck is this anyway?? And then I came across...

Surprisingly, It Doesn't Take Long For Muscles to Forget Everything They Know About Working.

After my surgery, I took it easy on my "core". You know, I cut back on all those P90X workouts and spinning classes and whatever other cliche workout routines exist these days. With five cuts through my abdomen and a newly crotchet'd colon, I did NOT want to risk bursting any seams. At my post-op appointment on August 10th, my doctor told me to keep taking things easy for at least another week. No workouts. No stretches. No lifting more than 10 pounds at a time. Plenty of resting. So here I am, eleven days later and I figure it's safe...

Eating and Pooping: My Life After Surgery

I'm sure you've all been wondering how my bowels are doing since the surgery. Lucky for you, I'm here with all the details. Well, except for the details from my rectal exam. That's a horror I don't care to relive. I had my post-op appointments and things are looking good. Both of my surgeons said my incisions are healing well and my belly feels fine. The internal stuff seems to be on track as well. Yay! My clothing has progressed from nightshirts to loose fitting pajama pants and loose fitting stretch pants. Or basically anything...

The One Where I Tell You All About My Surgery.

Guess who's back from the dead. IT'S ME! First of all, I'd like to say a huge "THANK YOU" to all of the well-wishes I received here on the blog, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. And an especially appreciative "I LOVE IT" to all of the people who sent flowers and gifts. Your thoughts are definitely appreciated and have motivated me to get back to oversharing as soon as possible. And to those of you who didn't send me shit, I've taken note. Secondly, I'm going to have no less than a ton to say about my surgery and recovery process....

Yes, I'm alive! I'll be back soon with all of the gory surgical details, my friends. Until then, here's an entry I wrote a few weeks ago. :::ZzzzZzzZzzzzzzz::: ___________________________________________ Today I went to visit my mom because she said she had a surprise for me and if there's one thing my mom knows about me, it's that I love surprises and anything that could be construed as "gift-related". Like any great mom would do, she put together a care package for my upcoming surgery. The gifts inside of this care package...
