Let me eat cake

There is nothing going on so I baked a cake. I was going to make icing for it, but don't seem to have any powdered sugar. Well, it is good without icing and I have already eaten two pieces. It is spice cake and I like spice cake! I was going to take a picture of it, but it is missing two pieces out of the corner. The cake rat got into it(me).


I woke up this morning thinking it was time to get up because it was "light out." I looked at the clock and it was only 5 AM! Light was reflecting from the snow cover giving the illusion of daytime. Needless to say, I snuggled deeper into my blankets and went back to sleep until 8 AM. The radio comes on at 8 AM and says it it is 7 degrees outside and that the low out at the airport was 2 degrees. It warmed up to 17 degrees today.


I want to go to the store and get more milk for $1.68 and a savers card. l want to get two half gallon jugs and put one jug into the freezer. I have two cards to use and then they are gone and I have to start saving all over again. I will probably get the powdered sugar while I am there.


We are supposed to have an ice storm starting tomorrow afternoon. Then it is supposed to turn to rain. Then who knows. I just know that Al Gore is probably hiding out somewhere where IT IS warm.


As I am on a yummy, good things to eat kick, I will add a recipe for your pleasure. Ti's the season,you know.

WE ALWAYS HOPE

AND IN ALL THINGS

TO BE...

IT IS BETTER TO HOPE

THAN TO DESPAIR...

WHEN WE RETURN

TO TRUST IN GOD

THERE WILL NO

LONGER BE

ROOM IN OUR SOULS

FOR FEAR

THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU

AMONG THE GODS, O LORD,

AND THERE ARE

NO WORKS LIKE YOURS.

ALL THE NATIONS

YOU HAVE MADE

SHALL COME

AND WORSHIP YOU,

O LORD, AND GLORIFY

YOUR NAME.

FOR YOU ARE GREAT,

AND YOU DO

WONDROUS DEEDS;

YOUR ALONE ARE GOD.
