Ha! I knew it!

Yep, so we had a service call on our oven and guess what!? It really wasn't my fault! The oven's coil on the bottom wasn't working! That would explain every problem I had! Also, our AC was running on half capacity! Our apartment's been so hot but we haven't bothered calling a tech because we're moving soon! But, we couldn't handle it anymore! But, it's fixed now and our apartment is now bearable! yay!

I swear it's not my fault!!!

So, lately I've had all sorts of problems baking. I normally have no problems at all! I don't know what it is! First, my bread wasn't cooking right. It was golden and delicious on the top and white on the part that was in the pans. Not only that, but the minute I took them out of the pans they sunk and were doughy! I've never had that problem before! I felt bad I ruined a batch of bread but decided next time I would turn the heat up, because obviously they weren't cooked enough, right? Well, I did that and the same thing happened only this time instead of being golden and delicious on top they were really brown...but still doughy inside!!! I can't tell you how frustrating it is to make such delicious bread for so long then have it fail several times in a row. Next I baked brownies......from a box. Same type of problem, crispy on the edges and gooey in the middle. I thought since I baked them in a stone wear dish maybe it just took longer since the pan was thicker. Well, my mom's birthday was on the 16th and I decided I was going to bake and decorate a cake for her. This is my result:



Okay, what's the deal!? I don't think it's me. It's got to be the oven.

Happy

So, sometimes I get worried about things that don't exist. I was wondering if Espen really is happy and if I'm doing a good job as a mom. Well, I decided to ask her and guess what!? She said yes! Well, okay, she smiled at me and made a sound that sounded like "yesh". I know she'd rather stay up at bedtime and she hates eating with a spoon but, she's happy! lol! Having her smile when I asked her that question was like a small little answer to a prayer. How I love her!

New Job

Yes, yes. I have a new job. This is all I'm going to say about it. Maybe later I'll post more about it.

I take calls from people who signed up for a promotional kit to earn money at home, or to get information about grants, or whatever. The long and short of it is the website says you'll get the kit for $1.95 BUT in the terms and conditions (which no one I talk to reads) it says you'll be charged for things AFTER your three day trial which starts NOW!

What I've learned and want to share with others:

READ THAT FINE PRINT!!! READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS!!! I CANNOT HELP YOU IF YOU DIDN'T READ THEM! PLEASE DON'T CALL ME!

But, I have a job and it will help us in the long run.
