25 random things about me

1. I love lime green, pink, purple, blue and white. Together or separate.
2. I am staring at a huge pile of laundry on the love seat that I need to fold.
3. I had a one month old baby on our first anniversary. :)
4. I burp when I'm really hungry.
5. I love to make good food.
6. I'm married to the sweetest (and most forgiving) man on earth. No arguments. :)
7. When I was little my sister used to wipe her boogers on the wall and I got in trouble for it.
8. I am incredibly blessed beyond anything I could ever wish for - and could never hope to deserve - with the best family (immediate, extended, and in-laws) ever. Love you all!

14. A few weeks ago my three year old tried to wipe a booger on the wall as I carried her down the hall.
15. My natural hair color is pretty dark. (insert blond joke here)
16. I love to organize stuff.
17. I love being pregnant - I feel better and have so much more energy than normal (after the first couple months). Before you go being jealous, just think how much of your life you spend not pregnant compared to how many months you may be pregnant. Guys - just be glad you don't even know what I'm talking about.
18. I went barefoot most of my life growing up.
19. My junior year of college someone asked me if I was old enough to drive. When I was five months pregnant someone thought I was a high schooler.

25. Yesterday, I smacked a nasty black spider with a broom, sucked it up with a vacuum and then put the vacuum outside in case the spider crawled out. I screamed when I did it, and afterwards it took me 5 minutes to stop shaking. YUCK.

Yumminess!!

I just combined like 3 different recipes plus a little of my own imagination and I came up with a Lemon Blackberry Cake in a Cup! Creative name, I know. :) If you want to try it, here's what I did...
I yellow cake mix
I vanilla yogurt
2 eggs
Half a lemon juiced
Some oil - I used about 1/4 cup
I added all the ingredients and stirred
Then add water until about the consistency of a cake mix - mine was a little thicker I think.
Stir in frozen blackberries - I used about one small package and saved some for garnishing.
Put a couple large spoonfuls into a coffee cup - mine are 16oz cups and it wasn't even half full (insert pessimistic joke here).
Microwave 1 min and then at 10 second intervals until the top is cooked and doesn't look like batter.
Let cook slightly - the cup is super hot so watch out!
I topped it with cool whip but I bet a lemon glaze or a frosting would be yummy too. :) sorry the pics are blurry, didn't really think it would work, so I didn't take many.
Experiment with it and let me know what you think! I am saving the batter to make these tonight so I'll let you know how that works out. We're having company so I sure hope it works!! :) Now I'm off to clean my house, then to the store for supper supplies. Have a fabulous day!!
