Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie Wafers
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package fudge cake mix
3 tablespoons shortening, melted
1/2 cup cake flour, measured then sifted
1 egg
3 tablespoons water
nonstick cooking spray
Coating
3 (12 ounce) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
6 tablespoons shortening
Directions
1. Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the water a little bit at a time until the dough forms.
2. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
4.On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just under 1/16 of an inch thick.
5. To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 1/2-inch diameter.
6. Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with a light coating on non-stick spray.
7. Bake for 10 minutes.
8. Remove the wafers from the oven and cool completely.
9. Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening in a large microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl.
10. Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for an addition minute.
11. Stir once again, and if chocolate is not a smooth consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
12. Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl so that the excess chocolate runs off, and then place the cookies side-by-side on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
13. Refrigerate until firm.
I'm blogging about work *GASP* My computer is dying a slow painful death. Something happen along the way and it just ccccrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee (some sort of driver error I can't figure out). Since we are such a small company spending 3k on a computer is just not welcome, however; before the wedding I told my boss that it was time. It was time to put Sheldon to sleep or give him a lobotomy ( reinstall his OS along with the 8576892795 softwares I use; for the second time). When I came back from the honeymoon *crickets*. It was back to grindy McGrindster.
So yesterday when the boss man come up to me and asked how "it was going" I told him about it and how I was going to throw it out the window.
"We've ordered one but it was supposed to be a surprise and it has the biggest graphics card this side of the Mississippi"
Well honk my horn! I am so excited I could spit!Le po
Another drawing from a few years ago. I swear I'll be doing new ones!
Megan: Oh, I haven't had a chimmichanga in so long
Krista: I put one in mah Belly Friday night

Krista: O Chimmi, Chimmi! wherefore art thou Chimmi. But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East and Chimmi is the sun! Arise fair sun and kill the envious moon. It is the east, and Chimmi is the sun!
Megan: Oh duuuude you need to draw chimmis as romeo and juliet!
So i look over and see my boss taping his pocket knife to a fed ex tube...hmm suspicious....i look over a minute later and see him doing this.
Then this transpires.
Me: ammm whacha doing over there Sir?
Boss: argh. I have no airflow in my office and its very frustrating. *pokes ventilation control panel on the duct that’s 16' above us*
Me: why don't I just call the mgmt co and have them come with a ladder and the necessary tools.
Boss: Oh! that’s a wonderful idea. What would I do without you?
Fall down and break your ass, I think to myself.
OK now i guess the whole story about how I actually GOT the
So I was bored and I needed a bookshelf. I went to
Only one problem.
Some blond beyatch was hovering around it like a vulture, guarding that bad larry with her life. She had a gazillion things in her hand and it appeared that she was looking for her husband or someone to walk by. But i stayed calm folks, I was stealth, hid like a sniper yo. I waited by the faux finish chairs, palms sweaty, eyes squinted.
OH my goodness shes was leaving the area. I REPEAT THE VULTURE IS VACATING THE PREMISE!
Stealth Loo go's in and with one swoop I pick it up and run for cover.
You kow that james bond theme? I was singing it in my head but only with Loo's LooLooLoo, LooLooLoo, LooLooLoo, LooLoo.

There is this stuff. I hated it, if it was on my plate I'd gasp, make and scene and push it off to the side like I had just discovered a dead roach in my plate, or something.
What is the foul thing I speak of?
Guacamole.
Then one day, while I was up at Matt's parents house, I tried it. I was STARVING and everyone was eating it like it was their last snack, ever.
So I did it, I took the plunge and dipped my chip. And then dipped again, again, again, knocked down the three year old (get out my way lady, there is DIP) so I could have more.
The problem is now I cant get enough and the supermarket hardly carries it, but boy if they do? I buy it in bulk and make sure that I eat it all by the expiration (don't want to be wasteful!)
Does anyone know how to make this green gunk?
Preface, Demi has been acting wicked weird in the new house. She runs up and down the stairs, she'll stand at the top of the stair and howl. I've been joking that there are ghosts. Normally it doesn't bother me........
I came home last night and it was one of those commutes where I didn't hit any red lights, traffic was light so i was home about five minutes earlier. I put on my work out clothes, grabbed a snack and headed to the basement to show Mr. Treadmill he was my bitch.
I didn't realize the basement light was off, it was still pretty bright in the basement. Then slowly us the sun when down, it got darker.....and darker. Then suddenly I could barely see what was in front of my. But I thought it was kind of cool, so I'm screaming "MY HUMPS, MY LOVELY LADY LUMPS CHECK THEM OUUUUUT!" And I think I see something out of the corner of my eye. So now I'm all weirded out and I keep looking behind me and getting all sorts of bothered cause I can't see or hear anything (except now I hear
This lasted for about thirty seconds where then I had to emergency stop the treadmill to turn on the stupid light.
