This Week in Pinterest

"Miracle Bread" truly is just that.  Only one hour to delicious, fluffy bread.

Find the recipe here.

Hilariously, Rowdstar has made good on his promise to join Pinterest.  Everyone should follow him.  I think he's going to have a lot of fun with it.

It's Daejeon!

Keiler received his mission call last Thursday, and it was to the Korea Daejeon mission.  It's the perfect spot for him, of course.  He is very excited, as are all of his family.  He reports to the MTC on May 16th, so there's a little bit of time to get geared up.

Here's a nifty map of all of the cities in the mission.  To get better oriented, let's mag out a bit:

It's that West coast bit (obvs).

Here's the link to the mission website.  And the mission president's wife's blog is here--and on my blogroll!

One of My Favorite Things

is learning something new.  If I had more discretionary time right now, I would fill it with music and language lessons and practice.  But I don't.  I am still quite enjoying bass lessons, and next month will contain a trip to Mammography Boot Camp.  Whether or not it will be more or less fun than real boot camp remains to be seen.

Pretty, Pretty Princess

Princess Estelle Silvia Ewa Mary was born to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden on February 23rd.  Isn't she darling?  She was also named Dutchess of Ostergotland,  from whence my Swedish ancestors emigrated.  That's why I feel some kind of connection to her.

Her great-grandma knitted that sweater.  I doubt that Queen Elizabeth's going to do that for any of her grandchildren.  Ya gotta love the Swedes and their down-to-earthiness.

Out for a walk with her mom and dad.

This is a traditional Swedish Princess Cake.  I think it's pretty, but it's covered in marzipan.  Gross.

Vadstena Castle in Vadstena, Ostergotland.  I visited there in 2005.  Well, not visit as in going in, but I was there on that spot.  It's pretty.

                                      

Using Pinterest To Describe My Workday

Lunch ordered for everyone but Diane leads to curse words.

Added a new volume today.

My Husband and Pinterest

Does your husband tease you about Pinterest?  Does he belittle it, not appreciating the many ways his homelife is bettered by it?  Mine, too!!

Actually, I think that Rowdy secretly really wants to be a part of Pinterest.  Around Valentine's Day, he sent me links to two funny zombie-related Valentine's cards.  He asked me if I was going to post them on Pinterest, and when I did, he took enormous pleasure in knowing that those were repinned several times. 

Today, he sent me these:

Downton Abbey Valentines (from www.chad-thomas.com)!  Of course, Rowdy was very happy to know that I received several "repins" right away.  The one with Lady Sybil and Branson (which...I just don't like that pairing.  There's no chemistry, and I think that he's overbearing.  She's going to regret running off with him, I think) is the most-pinned.  My personal favorite is the one with "Poor Mr. Pamuk" (picture Lady Cora pursing her lips and shaking her head sadly).

Sadly, no repins on the videos of him that I posted some months ago.  I don't think that Pinners get very excited about downhill mountain biking or adorable video of Rowdy playing in the pool with our niece and nephew.

Hopefully, I will find a bass teacher soon.  Someone needs to teach me how to move my tiny little hands faster.
