I spent the weekend catching some rays on the beach and spending time in a city that looked and seemed just like the inside of a cracker jack box. I'm not joking. It was bliss. I wore a shirt without sleeves, scandalous, I know. Yes, I am a baker. I packed a grandma sweater or 2, ok 3, oh my gosh i'm out of control-- I know. Who doesn't enjoy a good Grandma sweater? You should really embrace it, no one likes a hater. ERHM. Plus, I did go 20 miles out of the way by accident and end up in South Carolina..I don't know how...but when the "Welcome to South Carolina" sign greeted me with a kiss, I turned my little 'burb (yeah, that's right : 'burb) around.. Anyways. I ventured to make Cake Batter Chocolate Bark (yes, with REAL cake mix batter), but it just didn't work. I mean....it caught on fire for Pete's sake (who's Pete?) but alas, let me tell you the day happenings. I was starving from school. Starving. AS in I wanted to eat something large and in charge. Something...

I'm in one of those "Advicey" moods. Not like I want someone to tell me what to do, but the "look up good quotes" type of mood. Don't act like you don't do it. Here are 21 Pieces of Advice: 1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. 3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. 4. When you say, "I love you," mean it. 5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. 6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 7. Believe in love at first sight. 8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. 9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. 10. In disagreements, fight fairly. Please. no Name Calling. 11. Don't judge people by their relatives. 12. Talk slowly but think quickly. 13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to...

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you anywhere." -Albert Einstein Think about it. Act upon it. Now, to make a nice treat... I'm not supposed to use the oven because of the awful-rare-southern-don't wear makeup because there's not point- hot Heat. So my friend Cathy and I made No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars. This week I need to accept CHANGE, because friends I suck at accepting change. How do you feel about change? Let's make some no-bake chocolate oat bars. I had a great partner in crime this week named Cathy: In this picture, she is cutting up Hershey Kisses because we didn't have enough chocolate chips. Just shy of about 1/4 a cup. Onward to Ingredients!

This is a very eventful week--People are leaving for college--especially my roommate: My sister. This afternoon I ran a ton of errands and as I was coasting down my road I start hearing this HORRIBLE noise. It sounds like something is CAUGHT in my engine. All I could think about was what had happened to my grandmother when a rat had crawled up in her car and Died. That would be awful. My mother came to the rescue jogging down the driveway and we figured it out that it was indeed a BAG. A plastic Bag. Caught in one of my belts. It was probably torture for not being environmentally friendly with my bag choices. Even funnier was that this bag was from AUTOZONE. Stuck in my fanbelt--this is hilarious. My mother being the brave-soul-nurse just stuck her hand in and grabbed it out (Don't worry the car was turned off). Things like this only happen to me. Serious. I made HomeMade CookieDough Peanut Butter Cups as a celebration BUT I also had a Surprise waiting for me: TOMS. So Presh. Get some--give someone else...
