Just some STUFF (and my connection to a reality tv star)

I spent the morning trying to empty out my "Google Reader", since I had over 200 blog posts to catch up on. I'm sort of all caught up now, although I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and wound up just clearing a lot of them without reading them, so I still feel a bit lost about some of your worlds and goings on. If something major has happened to you in the last week and I haven't commented on it, I apologize...let me know and I'll be sure to respond accordingly! ;-)

My last week of "vacation" is hitting the half-way mark today. I start my new job next Tuesday, and am both excited and nervous. This week has been incredibly busy already, and I have all sorts of plans for the next few days as well, so Tuesday will be here before I know it.

I haven't done a Follow-Up Friday here at Candid Karina in quite a while, and I've also done a pretty lousy job of responding to comments, but I've been paying attention to them. I believe it was Qualcosa Di Bello who requested that I share my Ice Cream Cake recipe on here. I think I'll be making it again for a little get together this Friday, so stay tuned, I'll take photographic evidence as I put it together.

Tomorrow I will share some photos I took in New York City this past weekend.

And I have a new blog design in the works, and if I can ever get around to telling my designer what I think of her samples and working out the last few details (I'm working on it, I swear), that new look should be up VERY soon.

And now you are wondering what the heck I was talking about my connection to a reality tv star, aren't you? Well...to be honest, he's not exactly the "star", but I went to college, and was very close friends with, one of the Bachelors on this season's Bachelorette. Want to know whom? Pop on over to Cafe Karina where I dish all about it. While you're there you can see my recap of the final performances on American Idol, and tonight I'll recap the big Finale show. Starting tomorrow I'll be covering my favorite reality competition, "So You Think You Can Dance" too.

That's all for today, I need to go discuss blog designs, I think! Happy Hump Day Y'all!!
