Gmail is obviously getting easier to get these days.I used up all but one of the six invites I got last week, and now I have six more to give out. I think this may be because I am a compulsive e-mail checker, it makes me look much much busier than I am. So hey, want one and it's yours.
In other news, last night I baked a German Chocolate cake from scratch. It is wonderful, fantastic, delicious. If I do say so myself. =) Only trouble is, it was for a church potluck that didn't end up happening, so now Mike and I may wind up eating the whole damn thing ourselves. Which is not the approved and proper way to stay on one's diet. But German Chocolate is one of my favorite flavors of anything, so it's hard.
Also, I went home this weekend for Kirsten's birthday party. I took one of my really fudgey chocolate cakes along. The little kidlings appreciated that, one piece and they were wired for sound all afternoon. Probably just as well that the slumber portion of the party was cancelled since my other sister Allie was in the hospital. Mike and I took Kirsten to the fair instead, where we ate huge quantities of greasy food and incresed our supply of magnets tenfold. Before we left, I also raided my mom's cupboards for baking supplies, since she never bakes anyhow. Now I have a big tin of cinnamon and a big bottle of real vanilla, not extract, and a pie tin and a muffin tin and two nine inch cake pans (for the german chocolate cake) and another cookie sheet, and a square cake pan, and my all important springform pan. The only major pans I don't have are angel food cake and my bundt pan, which I keep forgetting. Boo.
So yeah, that's my life right now. Oh, but I did get a new job, kindasorta. I'm working for Primerica Financial Services, who sell life insurance and mortages and loan consolidations and retirement plans and all those other useful things. When I finish training, I can hopefully make money selling that stuff on commission. If nothing else, the training will teach me a lot of stuff that I don't know about finances, which will be good, as the current sum total of my knowledge is exactly bupkis.
