I couldn't come up with a more creative title.  Sorry.  Actually, I'm trying to think of a creative way to talk about my blueberry bundt cake, but it sounds boring even in my head.  So, a brief synopsis: I made blueberry bundt cake last night while on the phone with mom (who was impressed with my multi-tasking. Yay me!).  It turned out awesome.  The end.  Also, the people who read my blog probably constitute about 5 people -- my family -- and they all know where I got the recipe (Cook's Illustrated) and could make said recipe themselves because they all have either a subscription or access to a subscription (yes, I mean you, Lynette).

I told my boss today that his handwriting leaves a little something to be desired.  His told me to "Be nice!"  I told him I was being nice.

I think I have officially managed to post more times than Lynette ever did when she tried her stint in blogging.  If I quit today, at least I'm still ahead.  Although I supposed I could make it a goal to catch up with Josh and Chantale.  The problem with that is I live in Iowa.  There is nothing really ever to talk about.

My Cook's Country subscription came with two "Best of 2012" cookbooks.  They came in the mail today. Yay! There are some really great recipes.  (Sorry mom! I had to brag - not only did I get my subscription cheaper but it also came with a free gift.  Never thought I'd say it, but sometimes there are benefits to living in the U.S.A.

We finally had an ice storm casualty! I probably shouldn't be this excited about it.  I just dragged the branch to the curb and now my hands smell like pine.  I feel like a human candle.  Or air freshener. Or something along those lines.  Anyway, goodbye branch that probably should have been chopped off when we moved in (so that people can actually walk on the sidewalk)!

So big, someone had to walk around it! Or they were too lazy to walk over it.

Well, this well has officially run dry.  For someone who can sure talk alot, I find it rather difficult to come up with interesting fodder for this blog.  It actually surprises me somewhat that most of what I talk about doesn't seem interesting when I think about writing it down.  Yes, I have that high of an opinion of what I have to say in relation to how interesting it is.  I may have to rethink that.  That's all for now, folks!
