Dear rain, you big jerk.
Makes me soggy cold and mad
Leave when pool opens

Head for the hills friend!
Hail is big and breaking stuff.
Melts for perfect crime.

My shoes are so white.
Then I walk to school through mud
Brown shoes mismatch belt...

Funfetti cake with Rainbow Chip frosting

In honor of my birthday coming up, I thought I would talk about the best cake mix and frosting ever invented!  Funfetti cake with Rainbow Chip frosting!  Talk about A-MA-ZING!

In searching for the pictures to add to the blog, I learned an interesting fact.  Rainbow Chip frosting is made by Betty Crocker!  For some reason, I was under the impression that Pillsbury (the maker of Funfetti cake) also made the Rainbow Chip frosting.  Wrong!  Pillsbury makes Funfetti frosting with sprinkles in the lid.  While delicious, nothing can compare to rainbow chips seamlessly blended into the frosting!

I am definitely stopping at Meijer on the way home to make this delicious creation for myself. Happy birthday to me! :)

“How to save $20 on your phone bill” or “Why GoogleVoice rocks”

Here is some tech info to balance out all that fashion blogging going on. ;-)

We all know carriers charging $20 for unlimited texting is simply ludicrous.

Added features

Today I added "About me" and "Contact me" links in the sidebar.  The "About me" is less than exciting (I will probably add more info later), but I do invite you to "Contact me" with questions (leave an email address if you want a response) or ideas for cool blog topics.

Speaking of things that I like... I need these. 

first post

I am not promising anything with this blog.  I just thought it would be fun to post things that I like including: clothes, shoes, my dogs, funny stories, music, and maybe even some engineering topics.
