Soul Mates??

Let's go back to the Mid 1980's for this post. Sean and I must have been meant to be together!! We have so much in common!

We both like to lick icing off the beaters as children ......

I guess he liked vanilla and I was more of a chocolate kind of girl...
...And check this out...we had the same pair of glasses!


And apparently my parents wanted me to be a biker.

I'm Nuts

So I'd like to let you in on a little embarrassing secret of mine.
I love office supplies!
It's a weird obsession but I. really. love. office. supplies. really.

I had to run to Office Depot to get a new mouse for work and I was in there for an hour! I was very much unaware of the many different styles and colors of office supplies that are available now. I mean.. Check out these really pretty file folders. These are so much more appealing than the manila ones I use. (much more expensive too) But it would really just brighten my day at work to open my file folder and find COLOR!Look at all the different color paper clips etc.!!You can even get decorated scissors now!!And you don't have to buy the boring yellow Post It's anymore. Look at all the colors and designs!!
Holy Moly...look at all the colors. Did you know they made that many shades of Sharpies??
These were my splurges of the day. Paper clips that are swirly. My paperclipped papers are coolest in the office now...


I just couldn't resist buying these paper clips. They look like Hangers and clothes and made me wonder who in the world thought these would be a good idea... no one would ever buy these...except for me, but I'm obsessed with office supplies so I don't count.



And of course no office is complete without monogrammed Post Its.



Now that my paper clips and Post It's are colorful and exciting, I'm going to go to work!!!


Blog Hop

Today's Blog hop is Labeled "Time to Laugh." I got these photo's in an e-mail and thought they were pretty cute. I could totally use that Mic sponge! My shampoo bottle just doesn't feel enough like a microphone!

This is just wrong on every level....
Pure Genius... except I don't think this umbrella would hold up to rain drops like that...
Now...Why is this not used more widespread?? What a great place to store all your crap.
Thanks for visiting.. Happy Hopping!

Applebutter Jeans

Things have been a little stressful in Jenna's world here lately. If you happen to think about it..slip me into your prayers!
Last night I went over to my In Laws for dinner. My MIL had made some Applebutter, which was a new little treat to my taste buds. I'm not quite sure but I believe it was made with Apples, butter, sugar, and a few teaspoons of HEAVEN. It was delicious! I was advised to use it on my pork chops and Oh...My...Gosh.... Angels sang when that sugary treat of goodness touched my tastebuds. I wonder what else I could put Applebutter on?! Chicken?? Muffins?? I should probably just skip the eating process and put the applebutter in the back of my jeans pockets because that's where it will be (on my bootay in the form of cellulite) if I don't just forget it ever existed. Oh... the joy of applebutter.

While I was there I decided to make a Dangerous Chocolate Cake. Someone had posted a blog about it a few days ago. I don't remember who or where, but it reminded me that I needed to make one. My MIL has the recipe so while I was over there last night I made myself a very dangerous chocolate cake.

MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
  • Small splash of vanilla

Notice I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten free all purpose baking flour.. it worked perfect!!

Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don’t be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT!

(They aren't kidding about the cake rising over the top, me and my in laws stood in front of the microwave like idiots taking bets on when it would fall. Just look at the picture above...it looks like the cake is about to explode)

Leann had gotten this e-mail a while back from a friend and we both wondered how long it took someone to figure this recipe out. Thank you whoever you were, from microwave chefs all over the world!

Here's the finished product! After it cooled I cut it in half and added icing. Delicious!

all new

New blog name...new design... maybe it will cheer me up, its been stressful here lately.

Since Sean has very little to do with the blog.. and by very little I mean none at all... I have decided to exclude him until further notice. (No offense Sean)

I ran across the definition of Jargon on some website and thought it fit perfect to what I do. Even though I haven't coined any terms that would be considered Jenna jargon, I do have some meaningless talk going on on my blog and half the people who read it probably have no idea what I'm talking about and lets be honest.. a lot of my blog entries can get pretty unintelligible.

Hope you like it..
