Ten Years Ago

Posted on December 2, 2025December 2, 2025 by rebeccadeniston

Yipe. Ten years. Where has the time gone? How in the world do I commemorate something like this? When I started this blog I didn't know what shape it would take or where it would go. Heck, those of you who have been around for a while know that Taking Up Room began as a … Continue reading Ten Years Ago

This is a yellow cake with lemon filling and lemon buttercream. Yum (if I do say so myself)! The cake and filling recipes are from the 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book and the buttercream recipe is from the Pillsbury Book of Baking. #cooking #cake #lemon My review of "Mercy" is up on Taking Up More Room, and if this movie seems like sort of a ripoff of "Minority Report," that's because it sort of is, only "Minority" is better. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #mercy #chrispratt #rebeccaferguson If you look at this from some angles it looks like a fidget spinner. Or a flux capacitor. #weird Another post is up, but it's not exactly the cheery kind. Wordpress has been making some dumb decisions in terms of editing capabilities, so I might have some decisions to make in the near future about the blog. Click the link in my bio and Stories for more specifics (and fellow Wordpress users, please feel free to leave feedback because this affects everyone). #blogsofinstagram #wordpressblogger #wordpressdotcom #blogging Our dear friend, the fog, is back in Placer. Great. Stay warm, everyone. #winter Remember "Sidelined: The QB and Me"? There's now a sequel, "Sidelined 2: Interceptor," and it's about as good as to be expected. Or it would be if Charlie Gillespie didn't steal the whole movie. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #sidelined2intercepted #charliegillespie This is my son's bedding for the time being. Think it's crazy enough? #dormlife Yeah. It's a big day. #college #dormlife My review of "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" is up on Taking Up More Room, and I can't say that I would recommend this movie. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #28yearslaterthebonetemple #ralphfiennes #alfiewilliams
