cake is a cup is AMAZING i found it on pinterest
you take 1 box of dry cake mix any flavor and mix it with 1 box of dry angel food cake mix. mix them together (in a bag of air tight container for storage)
then when you are ready for cake, you take 3 table spoons of the dry mix, add 2 table spoons of water and microwave for 1 minute. and BAM you have cake!!! single serving heaven in a cup (i micro mine in a cup)
seriously delish!!!

Lol I love gummy bears too :) Oh funny story you reminded me of. My friend had a cat named Milo, but for some reason my wife got it in her head that the cat's name was Coco, so she kept calling it that lol. Once she found out she was mistaken, we both thought Coco would make a cute name for a cat hehe. So definitely love the name!

Hello, I'm Jessica:1. I'm a dabbler in musical instruments and choral work (alto/second soprano range). I play the piano intermediate level, flute, tin whistle, and pan flute.
2. I prefer Braille over audio books, since I feel audio is cheating! (No offense to my Dyslexic friends, but for an avid reader like myself, it is) Braille helps me get into the characters more deeply and construct my own scenery.
3. I'm good at recognizing dialects from many countries.
4. I have a blended, Brady-bunch style family. Five siblings in all but no full biological ones. I'm oldest of my mother's children and second oldest of my father's. I have two younger brothers and three sisters, two younger.
5. Reading was, and has always been, my escape, my de-stressor. When I was young, I lived in a broken home with heavy violence, and I found solace in fantasy and fictional works, where I could escape the ravaged world that is ours.
