I used to teach with a teacher who was a horrible pathological liar. When I say horrible I don’t mean just that she was horrible for always lying, I mean she was bad at keeping track of the lies. My favorite of all time was when we had a school carnival. We as teachers were all required to work a booth for 1 hour. And while giving up a Friday night isn’t all that awesome it only happens once a year so it’s not like it killed us. Plus it’s a great way to interact with the students and their parents in a casual way. So one year she makes up and elaborate story I don’t even really remember what it was about but when it came down to it there was no way she was going to be able to come and work the carnival. Since we do the planning months ahead of time she apparently forgot this. Only to show up to the carnival with her family. She is the woman who calls in sick only to post on her personal blog that she played hooky from work that day to go shopping. She’s the one to tell … [Read more...]

Sharing is caring…
I was sitting with a group of mom friends and one of them was mentioning how they wished the housing market was better right now (who doesn’t?). Come to find out she wants to sell her four bedroom home and upgrade. I asked why the heck would she do that? Well we might want another child. I said, okay? You have two. Why do you need a 5 bedroom home? And she went in to how ideally she would really like a 6 bedroom home or at least 5 bedroom and a den. A master bedroom, a room for each kid, a playroom (what are bedrooms for?), and guest bedroom. Growing up we never lived in anything larger than a 3 bedroom home. My parents now retired live in a two bedroom home (with a tiny, and I mean tiny loft up top…it’s an A frame). There were 5 of us. My mom, my dad, me, my two brothers, and our various dogs and random animals I would beg to have from a turtle to rabbits. My parents had their room. I had mine (I was the only girl…if I had a sister I am quite sure we would have shared a … [Read more...]
Now that’s a Peanut Butter Cup…
This fun cake comes from October 2007! Some days it’s hard for me to believe that I had a blog that long ago or should I say still have a blog. I go through phases where I wonder if should keep doing it. And I always come back to continuing the blog. Definitely been having writers block, and combine that with the fact that people only comment nowadays on controversially posts only makes it hard to want to keep on putting effort in. No worries though, whenever I think I am going to stop I keep going. I’m sure I will keep going just like I always do. I won’t even threaten to take time off as every time I say that I rush out and do a bunch of posts. :) The cake is an adaptation of this peanut butter chocolate chip cake I made a year or so ago, the difference being the use of the peanut butter chips. The other difference is the use of my mini(4-inch diameter) tart pans. I used those to give the cake a more peanut butter cup look. If you get too much rise on your cake you can … [Read more...]
