Today was pretty busy.  Pete went skiing and I had my interviews and shopping to take care of.  I am now equipped with concealer and sponges so I can blend my face.  Biggest mistake EVER, but I think it's really funny that Pete likes it.  My body was killing me when I got home so I laid on the couch and watched TV and waited for Pete to get home.  He ended up staying out pretty late so we took those steaks and sliced them...

Word is that anyone who wants to work for Donna Karen, the creator of DKNY, can but for a pretty penny.  The designer is holding an auction for a paid week long position at her company.  The price as of now, $2,800.&nbs...

Just like we planned this morning we headed over to Beaver CreekThere was a crazy lady on I-70 that decided she deserved our lane as well as her own and almost drove into us.  She was busy on the phone and the sad thing was she had kids in the car with her.  If you can't handle driving and talking please put the phone down so you don't endanger your children.  Keep an eye out for her and her gray Tahoe. So Beaver Creek's logo is 'Not...

The race was rained out yesterday so Martinsville is being run today. This is the first race that they are running the spoiler again. The pic below shows both set ups. The left is what has been running, the wing, and the right is what was used before moving to the COT (car of today) and what they are returning to today. ...

For dinner tonight we actually ate the kielbasa and lentils from last night because Pete was heading out to Black Hawk to hang with Emil and play some Wii bowling. I decided to stay home and get some stuff done since it looks like we're going to Beaver Creek tomorrow to ski.  I'm excited since it's the only resort on our pass that I haven't been to yet but we'll have to be up super early since it's the furthest from our house.  The best...

Since I knew Pete and I wouldn't eat a million cupcakes I decided I would take the majority of the carrot cake batter and make a loaf of cake we can take on the go when we ski this week. Here was the batter that was left over from the cupcakes To that I added the dried mixed fruit.  A combination of cranberry, blueberry and cherry with some walnuts.  Not too much and it added a little bit of protein to an otherwise sweet and carb-y dish. After...

I found this picture and am using it as my inspiration for my Easter Cupcakes.  This is totally semi-homemade.  Store bought Carrot Cake Mix and cream cheese frosting, that I colored green. Jelly Belly's and Peeps for decoration.    I decided that I was going to tint coconut flakes greens for a grass detail instead of using the frosting.  I filled a few cups with batter and since moving here I've learned that 350...
