Look...

I liked Pia too.

She was amazing.

And I am irritated she was voted off before Stefano.

But even before the elimination show I had a blog post in the works about her.

So....

Dear Pia,

I think you are TOTALLY amazing. You sing so effortlessly. You are very talented and beautiful. I just have a few little things to say. 

Pantsuits are ugly and you have now worn them twice. They are not flattering on anyone. Especially Stephanie Zimbalist in that Elvis movie where she was his girlfriend for like years but he never married her and instead married Brody Jenners mom. But I digress. Pantsuits are ugly...stop.

You need to learn how to move on stage. I mean, Scotty...SCOTTY out moved you tonight. You can not let that punk country boy show you up like that. 

Finally, when it is Hall of Fame night DO NOT PICK the ONLY Tina Turner song covered by Celine. I mean did you even KNOW that was an Ike and Tina song? And did you know that it was co-written by Phil Spector...who killed a girl? Or were you just looking through the list for anything....ANYTHING Celine has covered. This is the second time you have done this. Stop it.

That is all. Oh and can you tell Paul McDonald that every hipster from Cali to Nashville has been in a band and covered Folsom Prison Blues. And what the world does NOT need now is another unoriginal hipster.

Thank you and Good Luck,

Jen

So there you have it.

Sorry you went home Pia...if only I had written this letter sooner.

Breath Deep

I have had a LIFE. Let me tell you, my life has not been boring.

Because of choices made by me and by other people I have had pains, I have been hurt.

I HAVE BEEN ANGRY

There were two incidents in particular that made me so angry. That I felt justified holding onto.

I had been hurt, wronged. 

I had lost time, energy.

And been broken physically and emotionally.

I had been told "get over it".

I refused.

It was my right to harbor ill will

It was my right to rehash and stand stagnant in anger

It was my right to hate

I eventually realized that all that was within me, all the anger, was doing nothing.

All I was doing was trying to prove to others my point.

I was unable to move on.

I finally let go of my pride.

I let go of the anger.

Sometimes I find that creeping in again. 

I breath deep and remember I am happy so there is no need to re-hash. 

No need to prove my point.

My point has been made.

I am happy.

Thanks for the Good Times

So sad to see you go.

You are a great man of dignity and honor and TV will be lost without you.

Oh and April Fools.

The only reason I am sad about this is because now, you will no longer give Colbert funny material.

Pretty

So I think Rachel Bilson is beautiful.

Like classic, timeless, flawless beauty. 

I was reading in InStyle today, she has a little fashion column.....

and it is good.

And I was reminded how she is under-appreciated.

Because she really is beautiful and stylish

But then again she dated the boy who ruined Star Wars so perhaps she is not that great.

Plans

Winters in Utah are hard.

It friggin snows until like August.

But today I looked at a calendar ahead of me with joy...

I think I can get through the rest of winter with thoughts of:

Saturdays with Bestie

Surprises up my sleeve

Birthday parties

Dates with other couples ( I have not asked any yet but it is my goal so...)

Girls camp

The beach

Vegas

Katy Perry

The Lep

NEW YORK 

I mean...I can get through winter right?

Finally!!!

I have found the perfect cupcake.

This is not a joke.

Temptation Cupcake has THE BEST CUPCAKES I HAVE EVER HAD.

And those that know me know that I am a cupcake snob.

When Ed and I checked into our hotel this weekend there was a box of two cupcakes.

Red Velvet

Chocolate Ganache

The next day we went back for

2 Red Velvet

Almond

Blueberry Lemonade

Cinnamon and Sugar

Coconut.

They were ALL delicious. Everyone.

So now I will driving from Bountiful to Logan once a month. I am hooked.

Next time I will bring you one.
