So the truth comes out...

as if no one knew.

Apparently Chris Brown's mother has totally outed Chris and Rihanna. Joyce Hawkins, Chris's mother was overheard saying, "Rihanna is the sexiest and sweetest girl Chris has ever dated." (As if)

Chris recently said "Our relationship is growing. We started off as friends and we’re getting a little bit closer now." Friends? Getting a little closer? Yeah, right. If you calling cleaning someones tonsils with your tongue friends, then maybe.

He also said "My mom is real cool about it all." Awww, he still cares about what his mama says. Isn't he sweet. Rihanna, not so sweet.

Oh well, at least Archie is still single.

My New Dress

My new summer dress arrived today. I can't wait to wear it, well once the sling comes off and I can get rid of the wrap around my ribcage, I am sure it will look adorable.

I normally like shorter and brighter dresses. But something about this dress called to me. I got it from Delia's and I had a coupon code to get it 30% off.

It's casual enough that I can probably wear it anywhere, but it's also a little fancier so I can wear it when I want to dress up a little bit. Also I love the red and blue embroidery because I am going to be wearing it for 4th of July barbecues.

Now, I also got some lucite beads in those colors and I am making a bracelet and necklace to go with it, hopefully I can get a picture to post of them when I'm done. Now for the shoes I am still deciding between tan sandals and white wedge slides. Any suggestions?

Hey, where is everything?

I was all set to post a blog about Ingrid's Busy Day, which had to be complete with cake pictures, but the add a picture option is gone.

Actually, all the html options are gone.

What the huh?

Watch Your Step

So, I was at my aunt and uncle's house this morning getting ready to help her with the cupcakes. It was still pretty early and my dad was still there, he and my uncle were going to go into work together.

I heard the dog barking at something under the deck and tried to see what it was. I couldn't see from on top of the deck, so instead I went around to the side of the house and tried standing on this wooden plank thing and looking under it.

The next thing I know I'm on the cement landing between the house and the neighbor's house and I'm not feeling good.

So we are waiting for definite X-ray results. I reinjured a broken arm from last year, my ankle could be fractured, and I may have 2 broken ribs.

But at least I found out what the dog was barking at.

Cupcake Anyone?

Ok, so I have been working for my aunt. She runs a little at home bakery, she's mostly busy around the holidays. So starting in June, we have been working on 4th of July things.

They are really the cutest, I thought the Halloween was cute. Then, no the Christmas is much cuter, then the Easter bunnies, but I have to say the red, white, and blue is really too adorable.

This week we've been working on cupcake samples. OMG, they are so cute, they really do look too good to eat. A lot are the typical red, white, and blue with stars, but some are really unique. Unlike cupcakes you've ever seen.

They are so irresistible looking that my gay cousin ran in and grabbed not one, but two when we weren't looking!

(The picture shows her last year cupcakes, we didn't get any from this year yet)

Idol Gives Back...Sometimes

Hi and welcome to the premier post of Ingrid's Interesting Items. The topic for today is the kindness of David Archuleta (the true American Idol 7 winner) and the hypocrisy of American Idol.

We've all heard about Idol Gives Back, the big 2 hour show Idol puts on to showcase their random acts of hospitality. But I guess the giving only happens when it looks good for them.

David and his dad/manager/stagemom had planned a sort of thank you concert for his fans in Utah. All the proceeds were to be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Well, apparently his father did not clear it with Idol producers who are saying it violates "contractual obligations" and they have to postpone it.

Now, David is not making any money off this concert so it's not like the Idol producers will be out anything. I find it very disappointing that they are not allowing him to do this thing for charity. Maybe they need to remind themselves what giving back is about.
