i'm a bad blogger

i know.  i'm bad at blogging.  i like never do it.  so sad.  i try.....

well, here's a good story from the other day.  the Noodle has decided she is the litter police.  we were going to daycare and there was a plastic lid on the ground. you know, the kind from a gas station cup of coffee.

coffee is happy!

school rocks

so i finally started school up again this year.  on my second full semester now.  and already bogged down in homework.  no one ever really tells you how much homework there will be.  there is a ton involved in an accounting degree.  and i'm only doing 3 classes!  its gonna be crazy when i take 4 :)

things are getting busier at work as we incorporate all of our properties into the new "in-house" accounts payable system.  still not all in yet, but we are working on getting there.  i missed a day and half a few weeks ago and i feel like i've been behind ever since.  oh the never ending life of invoices.

july

july has been a very busy month for us.  i started working a full-time job in accounts payable at the beginning of the month.  it might be a foot in the door to an accounting department, but it's still a very dull job.  not much thought required, but it pays the bills.

charles has been super busy at his job preparing for a short trip to cincinnati at the end of the month for his brother's wedding.  he is a groomsman in the show.  he left today, and so far, his directions that he got from microsoft streets and trips have been wrong twice which has added a couple hours almost onto his trip.  once again, wisconsin is the black hole of that drive.

favorite muffins

i haven't made these in a looooong time, but they are by far the best muffins i make.  and i like love muffins!!

favorite muffins

1-1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup + 1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 egg

1/3 cup milk (approximate)

1 cup berries

Combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a bowl and mix well.  In a glass measure cup, measure 1/3 cup oil, add the egg and beat well.  Add milk to the mixture in the cup to equal 1 cup.  Add the wet to the dry and mix just until almost combined.  Add in 1 cup of your favorite berries (or anything you like) and mix in carefully.  Don't over mix!

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  I always bake mine in paper cups.
