Thought that it was too good not to share! :)<br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><br /><strong>5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE</strong><br /><br /><br />4 tablespoons flour<br />4 tablespoons sugar<br />2 tablespoons cocoa<br />1 egg<br />3 tablespoons milk<br />3 tablespoons oil<br />3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)<br />a small splash of vanilla extract<br />1 large coffee mug<br /><br /><br />Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.<br />Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using)<br />and vanilla extract, and mix again.<br />Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The<br />cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool<br />a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.<br />EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).<br /><br /><br />And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?<br />Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time<br />of the day or night!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-44587987700950939042008-10-10T14:55:00.000-07:002008-10-14T11:48:11.941-07:00OMGoodness!*so I put the trailer on here a few days ago and it worked, but then it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">didn't</span>, so I put a new one on here, I hope that it works in a few days, if not please tell me :) <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">thanx</span>!<br /><br /><br />Okay, so there is a new Twilight trailer, and it is by far the BEST one yet! so, here it is!

I don't know if it is the absolute best, but I do know that I love going to the fair! It is so much fun because I get to see all of my friends from middle school, and I can pig out on funnel cakes!:)<br /><br />So far this week I have been to the fair everyday 'cept Sunday (duh). On Saturday I actually worked at the 4-H funnel cake booth and got a free funnel cake :) Yeah! On Monday I went for a couple hours and hung out with my friend, Victoria. It was fun! Yesterday I went and watched Lucy play in the band, then I went home thought b/c I was really tired. I still got to see some of my friends so it was still fun. I probably wont go today since it is raining, and it is Wednesday (church night). Tomorrow I might go and then on Saturday I will most defiantly go Friday for two reasons: 1) It is fair day (NO SCHOOL!!!!) and 2) My cousins from Murfresboro are coming down to hang out with us and go to the fair since they don't have a fair there.<br /><br />This week has been fun, and will hopefully continue to be fun! :)Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-28448808611217107792008-09-06T13:02:00.000-07:002008-09-06T13:05:21.372-07:00HeightGuess what?<br /><br /> I have reached a new exciting point in my life!<br /><br /><br />I am no longer just 5 feet tall,<br /><br /><br />I am<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />5 foot<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3/8 of an inch!!!!!!!:)<br /><br />Isnt that exciting?Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-17167001108027133202008-09-01T06:28:00.000-07:002008-09-01T14:50:00.574-07:00Who are YOU going to vote for?<a href="http://www.inews3.com/topstory.php?id=52616368656c7c48616c65">I'm running for president</a> - click on that to see my campain- you wont be sorry!!<br /><br />I guess you know who I am voting for! :)Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-60468117469192714262008-08-24T15:20:00.000-07:002008-08-24T15:27:28.193-07:00TwilightWell, for those of you crazy enough not to know, Twilight has been moved up to 11.21.08!!!!

It is a very exciting time around our house.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-3087566494563902662008-08-23T20:40:00.000-07:002008-08-23T21:25:32.200-07:00Okay....so I know that I have not posted in a while, but I have been sooooo busy. Here is a small recap of what has happened the past 3 weeks.<div><br /></div><div><ul><li>One week we did sister cities, that was when Sakurako came. Sakurako is a Japanese exchange student that we had come and stay at our house for a week. She lives in Mikawa, Japan and is 14 years old. It was a lot of fun to have her come and stay at our house. On the first day she was here we took a tour of downtown then we went swimming at the city pool. On the second day we took a tour of Yorozu, they are a HUGE supporter of sister cities. After that we took a tour of the elementary school. That evening we got to take her to church. On Thursday we, actually I don't remember what we did during the day. At night though, they put on a ceremony for us it was really good. On Friday we went to Lake Winni! It was very fun! After lake winnie we went out to eat at sticky fingers. On Saturday we went shopping all day- it was sooooooooo fun, it was tax free weekend here which made it even funner. The next day, Sunday, we went to church in the morning. After church Sakurako packed to go home and we had a small good bye party then she was taken to Nashville were early Monday morning they would depart to go back to Japan :( . It was fun while it lasted.<br /></li></ul><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Another exciting thing that happened was that school started back again. I started HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!! It is a very exciting thing. I am going to a different school than Lucy is, I have a very small class- a total of 11 people are in my entire grade! It has been fun. </li></ul><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Not much else has happened since school started this weekend has been fun though! Last night Meredith Matheny came down and stayed the night with Alyson, (I couldn't go- I wasn't feeling well) Also last night it was family night at Hickory Creek (Ella and Molly's school) They watched Nims Island. Anyone ever seen it? They said it was really good. Also last night it was Warren County's first football game of the season! They lost- of course. Lucy plays in the band so she go to see the whole game for free!- She had to play in the band the whole time though. So then this morning our stake had a service project. We cleaned up one of the cemeteries. It was tons of fun because I got to see a lot of my friends that don't live her. After that some of us went swimming in the Catens pool. Then we just all hung out till tonight, when we went rolling (and got caught) since we got caught we helped them clean it up. We had a friend with us that does not belong to our church and we told him this is how you go rolling "Mormon style". It was fun! now it is time to go to sleep and let me tell you- we are all going to sleep well tonight!</li></ul></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-55017865838703151012008-07-27T17:01:00.001-07:002008-07-28T11:09:21.939-07:00What car are you?<h2>I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!</h2><br /><img src="http://www.tomorrowland.us/sportscar/images/corvette.jpg" /><br /><p><b>You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive.

These will be my first dances, and I need help. On deciding which outfits to take. Here are some of my favorite skirts/dresses that I have.

The chicken wanted CHANGE! And HOPE! It looked HOPEFUL!<br /><br />JOHN McCAIN:My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.<br /><br />HILLARY CLINTON:When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from Day One! that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me, although I clearly remember having to dodge enemy fire as Chelsea and I tried to cross the road.<br /><br />DR. PHIL:The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.<br /><br />OPRAH:Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.<br /><br />GEORGE W. BUSH:We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.<br /><br />COLIN POWELL:Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.<br /><br />JOHN KERRY:Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.<br /><br />NANCY GRACE:That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.<br /><br />PAT BUCHANAN:To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.MARTHA STEWART:No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.<br /><br />DR SEUSS:Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.<br /><br />ERNEST HEMINGWAY:To die in the rain. Alone.<br /><br />RUSH LIMBAUGH:Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.<br /><br />GRANDPA:In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.<br /><br />BARBARA WALTERS:Isn't that intewesting? In a few moments, we will be wistening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a sewious case of molting, and went on to accompwish its wife wong dweam of cwossing the woad.<br /><br />ARISTOTLE:It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.<br /><br />JOHN LENNON:Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.<br /><br />BILL GATES:I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra#%* reboot.<br /><br />ALBERT EINSTEIN:Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?<br /><br />BILL CLINTON:I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?<br /><br />AL GORE:I invented the chicken!<br /><br />COLONEL SANDERS:Did I miss one?<br /><br />DICK CHENEY:Where's my gun?<br /><br />AL SHARPTON:Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens.<br /><br /><br />I dont know all of these people, so not all these are funny to me, but the ones I know are very funny to me. Why do you think that the chicken crossed the road? I don't know though I am siding with what Grandpa said because it is the most logic :) Why do you think the chicken crossed the road? I am waiting for some funny answers, possiblyRachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-73248784687446876922008-06-16T18:53:00.000-07:002008-06-16T19:01:14.656-07:00100 squares<a href="http://heathermathenyfamily.blogspot.com/">Heather Matheny's </a>family is adopting a little boy from China named Max.

Dodd, of Washington , first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.<br /><br />The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington.<br />At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day.".<br />In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.<br />Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.<br /><br />Happy fathers day!Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18402044154717628457noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611296264111297813.post-88137916807139266982008-06-13T06:40:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:29:35.094-07:00CampCamp was awesome!!!!
