A couple years ago, I interviewed comedian Amy Anderson who returned to her hometown stomping grounds to do a comedy show and visit her family and friends from the Excelisior/Minnetonka area.

Amy, like me, was born in Korea, raised in the U.S. from a young age. (I know, I know, everyone thinks I'm Swedish or German, but no. I am Korean.)

A friend posted this on her Facebook site:

It's so beautiful, I wanted to share with readers.

Oh dear,

I was fiddling around with something else, and somehow I guess a mass Facebook email went out to everyone I've ever emailed in my life. One of my friends begged off joining Facebook...actually she's one of many of my friends who just doesn't have the time to dink around with virtual social networking because her real life job, real time social networking keeps her busy enough.

Another America's Next Top Model espisode last night, and Minnetonka's Raina Hein is still in the running.

Between you and me, I think she'll make to the finals. So far, she'd had some great photo shoots;  Mr. Jay Emanuel doesn't roll his eyes back into his head during her time in front of the camera--honestly, some of the girls are really really vacant--as he's been doing with most of the others.

The cake project is approaching week 7 or 8, I forget.

The snafu this week was that someone, alright that some was me, didn't go to the grocery storet last weekend. When it got to be Sunday evening, and I was already in fuzzy slippers and lounge lizard-wear, I looked into the fridge only to see I had no eggs, no butter, no milk, you know, main ingredients for cake. I was in no mood to drive to the store and I feel funny about showing up at the neighbors at 9 p.m. asking for eggs, milk and butter. But that's just me.

What was I going to do?
