Another Cooking Experience

Apparently I slept through some serious rain last night! The lower lobby of my building was flooded this morning and I got my new flip flops wet. BUMMER! There was even standing water in the parking garage. Glad I slept through the storms!

Tonight I was craving something and I just couldn't figure out what I wanted so I started searching through the cabinets. I found a packet of blueberry muffin mix that had been part of a Christmas basket I received. It was the kind that you only have to add water to and I thought that maybe I could handle that. LOL! Well, I mixed the powder and water and went to turn on the oven. It only took me a moment to figure out that I had turned on the stove instead of the oven. No kidding!

Then I went digging through the unused pots and pans for the muffin pan only to remember that I had taken it to school years ago to be used in one of the centers. The little muffin sections make it perfect for the kids to use when sorting things. LOL!

So, I found a bundtlette pan that must have been a present from my mother so many years ago that I can't even remember getting it. It's used to make mini bundt cakes and I've never made one of those so it was still sitting unopened and unused in the box.

I poured the mix into the bundtlette pan, popped it into the oven and set the oven timer. Well, they looked cute when I took them out of the oven. They weren't cooked in the middle but the top and bottom parts didn't taste too bad. LOL! Next time, I think I'll just stick with the cookies!

I have one more layout using Flowerscraps The Old Swing Kit to show you. If you haven't gone by her blog to pick it up make sure you get it soon!



My buddy April has returned from vacation and posted an adorable QP freebie on her blog for you. Here's a preview for you to see...



She used her Dainty Dandelions Kit to make the QP. I played with it tonight to and this is what I came up with...



You can have my layout as a QP too. So go here to pick up April's QP and go here to pick up mine.

I'm tired and going to bed now. Enjoy your day!

I promise I wasn't drinking!

Earlier tonight I decided to get comfortable on the bed and do some things while I watched TV. That way if I fell asleep I would already be in bed. Well, the phone rang and I wasn't close enough to the nightstand to just pick it up so I rolled over to get it. However, I kept rolling and rolled off the bed and onto the floor. I didn't get get hurt or anything but it took me a minute or two to get back up because I was laughing at myself. I never did answer the phone. LOL!

It looks like we're going to have a rainy week. YUCK! Hurricane season doesn't even start until June 1st and they're already watching a system. I just love how the local channels always make it seem much worse than it is. But....maybe we can get out for the summer even earlier....LOL!

Here's another layout I made using Flowerscraps The Old Swing Kit. I played with the transparency on three of the background papers to put this together.



OK,I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

The last full week of school!

Well, another day has gone by and once again I wasted most of it. LOL! My mind is already on summer vacation!

Earlier today my computer picked up one of those nasty spyware viruses that cause pop-ups. It took an hour and a half, but I got it off. Thank goodness! So, I guess I didn't waste the whole day---I saved my computer. Just call me Wonder Woman. LOL!

This is the last full week of school. Next week there are only 4 school days and the week after that has 2 full days and 2 half days. I am so looking forward to having the time off to relax and regroup.

The big decision for this week is where to get lunch on Friday. LOL! We've already decided that next weeks lunch will come from the Cheese Cake Factory! We are saving the best for last and yes, I will be ordering dessert that day!

Today you have the chance to get the first part of the cutest kit ever from Deanna at Flowerscraps! Just look at this preview...



It's perfect for outdoor and/or playground photos. Here's a layout I made using the kit...



That's some of the kids in my class trying to cool off in the shade on the playground.

OK, it's time for me to go to bed. Enjoy your day.

I am so bad!

I won't even tell you how late in the day it was before I finally got dressed. Let's just say, it was after lunch and before dinner. LOL!

I should be telling you how I was busy completing things on my "to do" list, but I can't because I wasn't. Most of the day was wasted and I enjoyed every second of it! I'll be sorry tomorrow, but today I have no regrets. LOL!

Now, I'm off to bed because a day of doing nothing so exhausting. Enjoy your day!

I was kidnapped!

I've had so much to do lately that I haven't been any fun. Tonight my friends decided to force me to go out to dinner. I just wanted to stay home and go to sleep early, but they had me at "We're paying". LOL! Thank goodness I have such wonderful friends!

Now, I am going to sleep and I plan on sleeping as late as I can. Enjoy your day!

I thought I was seeing the light...

As I type this I'm printing 102 certificates of completion to make our Rolo diplomas for the end of the year. The good news for me is that everyone is responsible for wrapping their own candy rolls. LOL I'll post a picture of mine when they're done. My poor friend, Terry was the one that went to the store and bought all the Rolos for us. She said she was given some strange looks. LOL!

I thought I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but I've added more things to my "to do" list. As a matter of fact, I really need to made a "to do" list so that I'll remember everything I need to get done. LOL!

I am now making the beach scene layouts for the 6 other kindergarten classes. I'm still working on the end of year movie and the school computer isn't playing nice so I'm afraid I may have to bring that project home. I've been asked to redo the Kindergarten Memory book I made for the kids to complete last year by a first grade teacher so she can do it with her class. I also need to redo the cover on the Memory Book for Kindergarten for that it will have this year's date on it. While doing all of this I've got to pack up my class for the summer while also decorating it for the luau party.

When June finally gets here, I think I'll sleep through it. LOL!

I finished the beach scene layout for my class and thought you might like to see it too...



Now the printer is finished printing so I'm going to bed. Enjoy your day!

It's been a long week

Well, it looks like my school year may end a little early. We're still fighting with the school board over pay. We didn't get our raises and they're planning on taking at least two day's pay from us.

Right now the plan is to have us work two half days and to take away the one teacher workday we get to close out the year. I have no problem with starting vacation early, but I just hate to lose even more money. They promise they'll pay us back in the fall but I'm not going to hold my breath. LOL!

If they are actually going to do this they need to make some plans soon. The parents will have to make arrangements for their kids on the days they only plan on having the teachers until 11:30.

It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!
