When I went to bed I put my phone by the bed…in the off chance that we might have a snow day today…Clearly the weather people were a little off as so far we’ve had a bunch of rain with no snow…not that I want snow…but at least that would’ve looked pretty in comparison with rain and grey. Oh well…at least it’s Friday and I’m half way through my day…it’s all down hill from here:).
No big plans for the weekend except the usual move stuff around, clean the stuff and reorganize the stuff for another week…the good news…at the Jackson house we have not added any stuff to our house this week…and I find that to be a good thing. Now to make it through the weekend without any mindless trips to a store will be considered an achievement to me.
I plan on watching a movie or two this weekend, reading a book or two and doing housework all in my comfortable, warm cozy home. I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow and to a quiet weekend.
And…drum roll please…my girls and I are going to make my sister’s recipe for mint chocolate brownies…doesn’t that sound wonderful!! Or at least if you’re a chocolate mint kind of person…clearly I am. Here’s Mary Anne’s recipe just in case you need a pick me up this weekend at your house:).
1-4 serving size chocolate pudding (make as usual with milk)
1-chocolate cake mix (dry)
1-bag of Andes mint chocolate baking pieces (or in a pinch…you can get the boxes of the Andes candy and break them up…(you might need to test them out a little at the same time:)
Mix pudding as instructed. Add cake mix to pudding, then add baking pieces. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until done. You can also use raspberry chips or any other kind of chip.
God is good…have a great weekend!
Love,
Ruth
this sounds amazing!! maybe i will have to make an unexpected drop by… just kidding!! have a great weekend. i am finishing up some house cleaning, i moved my desk upstairs to the “office area” and now have a DINING ROOM with no other “added” furniture!!
my desk looks our the window towards seminary street…but i don’t really see the cars, just the trees, the beautiful house and yard across the street and the falling snow… i feel like a writer sitting here, quite inspiring!!!
tomorrow i have a birthday party and a wedding reception, beyond that, i hope to just “chill” so to speak!!!
have a wonderful, serene weekend!! it is almost here!!
Sounds good !! Is that cooked or instant pudding? I assume cooked… Maybe I’ll try it… Love your blog
