Confessions of a not so Betty Crocker

You have all asked me to post this wonderful recipe of the cake. And though I did do a few tricks to it of my own (like the pan that I used and double fudge that I used, and all the drizzle sheezle that I did on the top of the cake....) the recipe itself is extremely simple...Yap, you got it, it is from the BOX...............2 actually. Make first box like instructed then fallow up with the second like instructed. (So I didn't mix two mixes, I just put one on the top of the other with the fudge in between.) Bake it for 45 min. Cool it completely before taking it out, then use extra fudge to put it on top with the sugar powder.

Hope you are not completely disappointed.

If I'm dead, you'll know why

So I have decided that if there was such a being as god of nutrition, the lightning would definitely strike me...I would be dead at this very moment.

As I was worming up Corn dogs (fat, curbs, and heavens knows what else in that) for my kids, I start thinking what they had for breakfast? hmm...Coco puffs...sugar, yam!

Then my mind drifted to last night....lets see what did I cook for my little darlings?.....Ramen noodles...curbs, sodium, and fat. What did they have for lunch yesterday, you would ask......Chicken nuggets. What else do I need to do to see the lightning comming?

Hailey update

So far Hailey has been the STARTING point guard for ALL of the girls High School VARISTY basketball games this year. (The North Central Indians) With no starters returning from last year, they arent expected to be a playoff contending team, but Hailey is enjoying the experience her Freshman year, and in last nights game started started feeling more comfortable as she was one of her teams top scorers with 10 pts.. (two 3-pointers) She has work outs and practices every day and is still maintaining great grades in honor classes! She'll be down to visit on the 27th, and leaving on the 3rd (she'll be racing home to get off the plane and get to another practice that night)

My little model in action

Rylee's report on Russia

Though, it is not 100% identical dress to the Russian traditional dress, I thought it was pretty darn close and Rylee sure LOVED it. She wants to be Russian girl for Halloween next year.

Thank you mom, for making this possible.
