TGIF

Thank Goodness It's Friday! School is always CRAZY this time of year. I'm ready for a good break!
Speaking of this time of year, I can't believe how quickly this year has gone. I remember planning a trip to Italy for the future and now that has come and gone. It was quite an exciting year, with Bosnia and Italy and all. I just love to travel so all in all I can say it was great! It just happened sooooooooooo fast.
As this year winds down and as the Christmas season comes upon us I keep trying to figure out ways to share the gift of Christ with others. This may be more difficult now than other times of the year. I just returned from Kohl's and I am amazed at how grouchy people can be when they Christmas shop. I tend to do almost all of my shopping online so I haven't been to the stores during Christmas in a long time. I'm just not cut out for it. I'm weak........I don't have that shopping gene or something.
I've also been putting together some Christmas treats for friends. I was sent a recipe for "Dangerous Chocolate Cake." It is made in a mug, in the microwave. I thought I would buy some cute mugs and make this. So after buying stock in mugs yesterday I came home and tried the recipe. Well......................I suppose maybe I should have tried the recipe before I bought the mugs because the cake was AWFUL. It was so bad that I feel bad for the person who sent it out. It was from a fellow FACS teacher and being that FACS is so closely related to Home Ec. everybody think we can cook really well. This recipe would have proved otherwise. :-) So it looks like I'll be putting together something else, just not sure what yet. If you have any great ideas let me know. I know some of you are SUPER creative!
