Mid week randomness.

Lately I have been in the mood for these things:

  • Pizza. More specifically, the chicken garlic ranch from The Pizza Factory. It’s been over 2 years.
  • Watching silly movies, such as The Emperor’s New Groove.
  • Root beer freezes!
  • New music. I am craving some new to me tunes.
  • New clothing. As we start to go into the winter season, I am realizing that I need some new, wintery things.

Speaking of pizza, I discovered this blog via Twitter and came across this amazing sounding recipe for “Crazy Pizza Bread“. I have wanted to try it ever since! The blog that it comes from, The Ivory Hut, is one that yet again shows the power of a community in the blog world. The family lost their home, and everything in it, to a house fire. Enter an amazing blog community the author had built to help in the time of need. I’ve seen this with so many blogs, and it always makes me smile to know that people are still very good in the world.

Speaking of great blogging communities, the FitBlog community is absolutely one of them! I came across it on Twitter thanks to my friend SpaBettie. Twitter is a lot of fun, and if you are into being healthy (body and soul), then you too will love the #fitblog chats that take place on Tuesday nights. You can see a round up on The #fitblog Daily too.

And in total random news, my dreams have been crazy and fun recently. Last night featured an old photo booth. Oh how I miss those! Another featured themes from my friend Kelli’s book Under the Same Moon. There has also been a healthy dose of Chuck themed dreams too (hmmm, could it be our Chuck marathon?).

I love this video!

Happy Wednesday!!

If you have loved the flash mob ads from T-Mobile in the past, then you are going to love this one too! What a surprise for the people coming off the planes that day! Would you have loved to be one of them?!

Can I tell you a not so secret secret? I have always wanted to be part of a flash mob event! I think they are so fun and creative. Plus, it seems that they always make people really, really, happy too! :)

Rhythm

I loved this video so much. My good friend shared it on Facebook, after which I shared it too. You see, we both love African Dance, and this video made me so very happy. For so many reasons, the message about rhythm being in everything we do, and of course, the amazing dancers at the very end. It’s a very worthy 10 min of your time to watch.

It makes me itch for spring, when I will once again move my body to the beat of the drums! Drums I hope to also learn to play one day too.

Cake Mix Cookies

Simple, yummy, soft!! Cake mix cookies have been a favorite tradition of mine since way back in high school. My friends and I would often get together to bake a batch before a big event, and they were always my treat of choice to bring when asked to bring a treat. So this Halloween I decided to revisit my old favorite and put the cute Halloween Funfetti mix to good use.

Cake Mix Cookies

Cake mix cookies could not be easier to make, just use 2 eggs and 1/3 cup of oil in the cake mix to make a nice dough. Then bake at 350 for about 12 mins until they are just getting golden on top (each oven is different, so sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter). Frost and enjoy!!

There are many other cookies that I love too, but these will always bring fond memories to my mind. Do you have a favorite cookie recipe?
