Brownie Mix for Breakfast

So in light of some Mexican Holiday that is Monday, Eva had a party at school today. I didn't remember that I was supposed to send treats, so I came home and promptly made brownies. Which just goes to show that buying a brownie mix with no specific purpose in mind, is NOT frivolous spending like I thought at the time, because you never know when it is going to be some Mexican Holiday and then have to send treats to school.
Come to find out, raw brownie batter is GOOD. So good in fact that I think I ate somewhere between 5-9 spoonfuls for breakfast this morning. I have a little chocolate buzz, and a slight stomach ache and a probing question in my mind. What kind of a person eats straight brownie mix for breakfast? Should I be alarmed?
Here is my Sammy. He doesn't eat brownie batter for breakfast. He gets naked and drinks straight syrup. Just goes to show the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Yellow Of Course


Once upon a time there was a house,. And we bought it. And this was it...

BEFORE



ANd then one day Justino decided to paint it Yellow


And I didn't care if he did or if he didn't, because I liked the white, but said ok. After all, yellow happens to be the most beautiful color in the whole world.


But as he went, I realized what an amazing oversight I had made for not demanding the house be yellow to start with. I mean LOOK at that color. How could I have departed so far from my very soul as to not realize that no other color would do. Lucky for me, Justino had the idea to paint it.




We let Eva help, but she painted with water.
( note the original colorm,it was PEACH before it was white, gag me)


And even though it's not all the way done, it will be someday, and in the mean time
We lived happily ever after.

Hurricane Ida


This was me Saturday morning when it was raining BUCKETS, I had 12 loads of laundry to take to the laudramat to to be dried, my roof was leaking and my righteous husband had left his wife and small children in a hurricane to attend the temple.


Luckily a few angels showed up to get on the roof and bail water off my roof until it was no longer a swimming pool, and to open up the blocked drain pipe causing the back up.

Some trees went down

and the streets were rivers.


But overall it didn't feel much like a hurricane at all.
More like a really long, very rainy day

HOW HIGH CAN YOU STACK YOUR DISHES?

Just when I was beginning to think that I had no talent at allI did this.
