The post for people who have absolutely nothing better to do with five minutes.

Did I ever tell you I look like a demented cartoon character? I present the following evidence.

That last shot is a freeze frame of a six-second video I uploaded from my cell phone. It was the first video I took with said phone and I have lovingly entitled it “The Mute” because, in it, I [...]

Chocolate Pecan Toffee Bars

Let me just start by saying one thing. There is no lemon anywhere in this recipe. Just pure decadent chocolatey melt-in-your-mouth goodness that might just bring you to tears. They’re that good.
I was bored and browsing blogs yesterday when I stumbled upon this one. And the third recipe down? These amazing Chocolate Pecan Toffee Bars. [...]

I Heart Faces: week three

Any minute now, my phone is going to start ringing and there, on the other end, will be an angry older sister. And she’s going to yell at me for posting these photos. But don’t worry. I don’t answer my phone anyway, so I’m totally in the clear.
I took these two pictures on my mom’s [...]

Lemon Cranberry Bars

Alternate title: Somebody Stop Me!

Hi, my name is Stephanie and I am addicted to lemons. I love their color. I love their smell. I love their TASTE. I freaking love lemon. And I desperately need some sort of help.
I blame her for my addiction. Ever since the scones, I’ve been drawn to every recipe that [...]

I need your help. Part two.

I’ve spent most of my day obsessing and I desperately need your help.
I’ve been invited to attend the bridal shower of a co-worker.
Said co-worker and I have become friends in the nine months we’ve worked together. We have, on few occasions, spent time outside of work. This usually occurs when we realize we’re done at [...]

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong state.

That’s it. When I see this girl tomorrow I am so not taking her picture. She is much too photogenic and, well, cute. I just can’t take it anymore.
On the one hand, I love the way these photos are turning out.
On the other hand? It’s just not fair. I have about this much photogenic quality [...]

Not really in the Christmas spirit, but I could sure go for some presents.

Yesterday, since I had the whole afternoon free (which may be the one and only perk of working at stupid six a.m.) I decided then was as good a time as any to clean out the ol’ hard drive. It’s something I do every couple of months and I usually come across a bunch of [...]

As long as he’s hosting…

We should totally do this again tomorrow.

That’s all.

Somewhere along the way, this turned into a totally different animal.

While everyone else is watching The Inauguration, I am standing here, alone, looking out into a vast and empty lobby. Hello, Economy? We get it.
I don’t have much to say today and whatever I do say will most likely bore you to tears, but hey, I’m still leaking from the face so it’s only fair [...]

The thirteen hour post.

I arrived to work this morning, on time (miracle), at six a.m. At seven a.m., I started writing. At seven p.m., I scrapped the whole thing and decided to start over.
I was going to start with a lengthy description of my runny nose and tell you how I spent the entire weekend with a tissue [...]
