Red Wine and Dark Chocolate M&Ms

Probably not the best thing to have at midnight!

I really have to start doing something.  This weight thing is getting out of control!  Tomorrow is grocery day, so healthy meals all week!  I am pulling out my LA Weightloss book and getting back on the wagon!

I have 79 days until I turn 40 - What can I accomplish in those 79 days?

I really need to do this more often...and some horn tootin'!

Holy Moley, it's been almost 2 months since I was on here!


Just a quick update:  I am still running Tuesday-Friday every week.  I do have to admit that last week the kids were out of school on Friday so I didn't run.  We were very busy that day though!  Does that count? :)


I had a great cake weekend!  One Hello Kitty cake 


and one xbox 360 cake.




I enjoyed doing them and have gotten some more referrals from these two orders.  Need a cake? Contact me at CinderCakes!


I also want to toot my own horn - I fixed my own oven!  I started to bake a couple of weeks ago and the oven wasn't working.  (Boo!)  After some encouragement from some Facebook friends, and a little investigation, I decided to get in the oven and pull out the ignitor.  It was cracked.  I then started price shopping.  Since the oven is a Kenmore, I started at Sears.  They wanted $81 for the part!  Several online retailers including Amazon were much more reasonable at between $20 and $40, and that includes expedited shipping.  Now for the cool part - I work for Habitat for Humanity and we have a ReStore (if you don't know what it is,  you need to check it out!).  A co-worker suggested I see if they had an oven they were going to junk - they did, the ignitor matched, they charged me 25 cents, and my oven was back working that afternoon!


OK, enough tooting, I must be off to bed - gotta run in the morning!
