K3 and I have been watching the gourmet cupcake frenzy grow for awhile now and decided to join in yesterday evening. We visited Mini's in SLC and wow, the chocolate cupcakes are heaven! Cupcakes have seriously turned into the dessert of the year (even the last couple years) and we are all for it.

I enjoyed this book so much that I stayed up late (past midnight!) just to finish it. While I want to recommend this book to you, I also want to warn you that it is the first book in a series that has yet to be completed. I naively expected that I would turn the last page and be satisfied with a complete story and would be done with it. I believed I could just walk away but now I have found myself counting down the months before the next book is to be released. So, if you are like me and are willing to wait until the season of your favorite TV show is over before you begin watching it just so you can enjoy it all at once, you may want to wait until this series has been concluded before you pick up this book.



But, if you are the type that enjoys the agony of waiting for a story to continue then I am more than happy to let you borrow my copy of this book and anxiously wait with me. Let me know what you decide.

Someone put gum on our car! This is not its first gum experience either. I think someone has it out for us (or our car).

I just saw this list of rules that this guy started for his unborn son and I love it!

Here are some of my favorites that I will be teaching my own kids someday

22. Girls like boys who shower.
43. Don't litter. Ever.
71. Don't spend too much money on a haircut. They don't last.
120. Spend time with your mother. She's cooler than you think.
187. Smile at pretty girls
321. When it comes to opening presents, no one likes a good guesser.

I don't know if I approve of this one but I know k3 would.
59. Socks are not necessary in the summer, no matter how formal the occasion.

Why are there so many cool cars sold in Europe and Japan that never make it over here? I don't mean exotics, we get most of those and at this point in my life I couldn't care less. I'm thinking of things like the Ford Focus (British version), Fiesta, and Mazda 2. You know, cars that weren't designed from tank chassis.

Answer: 'Cause auto makers don't really care what Kenny likes and building/importing cars he thinks are cool would probably drive them out of business.

Well, seeing as they're already going out of business what's the difference? It seems Fiat might buy at least a portion of Chrysler which has me stoked for two reasons.

1. Alfas might be back!
Isn't a rule that you have to have owned an Alfa if you're into cars?

2. The Fiat 500.
The 500 is my everyday hero car. Italian auto's don't have much of a reliability reputation but I've loved this car since I first saw it and the new model has gotten really good reviews. The only damper on my fun would be the problem of fitting two Americans abreast in it. So, the chances of Fiat bringing over the 500 unmolested are slim but I'll keep hoping.

I've heard people mention TED over the last few years and they always talk about what an amazing conference it is.
I finally checked out some of the videos and I'm completely hooked. I just subscribed via iTunes. There's also an iPhone app that streams audio or video.

Here's a good one I watched the other day.
