Yes! I owned it! Thursday night is my regular girls' bike group ride. I knew I would be pretty late getting home and didn't want to take the time to make one from scratch. I usually at least make frosting from scratch, but didn't even bother this time. Apparently, there are plenty of people here who can't even make a decent cake using box mix.kelly_c_77 wrote: »I am known at work for making really good cakes, usually from scratch. Today one of the guys is leaving to take a job out of state, so they asked me to make him a German chocolate cake. I made it- box mix, can of frosting. Everyone is raving about how good it is. I don't know whether I should be flattered or disappointed.
ETA: Yay me, I can follow directions!
That's awesome! Did you admit it was box?
Nice!
Man, I bet frosting from scratch is AMAZING!

I make the best buttercream frosting in various different flavors. It makes any cake delicious! (I could eat it straight without the cake!)
ETA: Who am I kidding, I do eat it straight without the cake. I always leave more in the bowl than should be, so I can have more!0 -

Would you please send a from scratch cake over to Ohio? I'm one of those even if it's a box mix cake it turns out yuck!0 -
All.... some thoughts for page 1400 and all we have been through in these last 8? months....
These are 2 quotes that hang on my wall:
The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter (fortune cookie fortune)
and
It's never too late to become what you might have been.
I like both of these and hang them on my wall as a reminder of how I personally want to approach my life.
Happy page 1400 folks. And have a great weekend (for those disappearing for the weekend already).
ETA: I totally messed up a sentence. So fixed...0 -

these are the two i have attached to my monitor at work:
Live the life you've imagined
and
If you want to win anything - a race, your self, your life - you have to go a little berserk (fortune cookie too!)0 -

Not gonna lie, that seriously made me tear up. It's so, SO true. Why not be the person you could have been today?! The only person stopping you, is you!
I love that!!!

I have this set up as my daily reminder, it's a little harsh but it gets the job done.
"You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure. Put yourself in situations where you have too much at stake to waste time and resources - if you can't afford to lose, you won't. Cut your ties to the past; enter unknown territory where you must rely on your wits and energy to see you through. Place yourself on 'death ground', where your back is against the wall and you have to fight like hell to get out alive."
On my fridge I have.
"A Manifesto for a Simple Life: Eat less, move more. Buy less, make more. Stress less, laugh more. Feel Blessed, love more. Find a quiet spot everyday and Breathe."0 -

Sorry (not sorry). Should I have another piece of cake for you?

Reminds me of a line from a song by my favorite band-

Yes. One for @kelly_c_77 and one for me!! I ate a fruit and yogurt parfait this morning as a treat (a 300 calorie treat! Ack!!) and now am hungry again. Doh!! Oh well, it was delicious. And now a co-worker just brought in bagels for everyone. Eeeeep. I'm gonna try to avoid them, but there's nothing quite like a toasted asiago bagel with cream cheese.0 -

I took today off, so nice! Mr. NY worked a half day and we had a great workout at the gym. We are now headed to my family's lake house with some of our friends for a nice relaxing weekend. I probably won't be on here too much, but I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. You are all super great!!!!0
