just an update

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

well, i think our original vow to post everyday sort of...died. :D but that's okay!

so, for the first topicccc of interest, i started a new quilt. when we were looking through all the old stuff from the barn, i found lots of old vintage fabric scraps. a stuffed retail bag, actually. so i decided that if i cut them up into 3x3" squares i could make a quilt. maybe add white at every other print.

la la la

secondly, we watched one of the funniest old movies last night. check out our review at our movie review blog.

thirdly, don't you hate it when your own cellphone scares the living daylights out of you?

fourthly, mum made a cake. she stuck it in the oven, we watched our funny movie again, and then she gets up to go look at it.
then comes a scream from the kitchen.
"oh my god!"
me and quinn look over at the closed doors of the tv room
as if we could see through it.
and so i get up to
see if she had found something dead, or something, in the cake?
"you've got to come see this!"
i untangle myself
and see this:


not necessarily something to
give one a heart-attack
[did you know that it is mother's new hobby to try and give me a fright-caused heart-attack before i turn 21]

but if you suddenly have the strong inclination to whip together this delicious cake and try to then give someone you know a heart-attack by screaming 'oh my god' or any other variation you might like, i suggest trying this recipe.

but you have to love chocolate. like we do.

Chocolate Bundt Cake

1 (18.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 small box chocolate instant pudding

1/2 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces sour cream
4 eggs
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips and beat for 4 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into a greased Bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool, then dust with confectioners' sugar.

oh! wait a moment. the adventures of the heart-attacker are not over...

after a few moments of watching the movie, i hear a small moan of
"ohhhh crap."
emitting from the kitchen. ohhh dear, i thought.
i got up to look and found that mother was eating broken pieces of cake from the Bundt pan. bad girl.

INTERRUPTING --- mother just scared me just now. again. i have a weak heart. she just screamed about Sydney White to sara on the phone. a ridiculous movie with amanda bynes. O.O

anyway...

look how sad...
