Tonight I planned to work on my budget. I am trying to run the numbers and figure out if I can cover all our expenses without having to dig in to Abigail's Social Security Check or our insurance money. Jason and I made it a point to live on only one income and use my income to work on the house or buy other big ticket items like furniture. However, we were living on his income not mine. I'm sure I can make it work, but I really need to play with the numbers and figure out the cash flow. After sitting down with the numbers for about 10 minutes, I decided I needed a break.
Every good budget break needs a trip to the kitchen. As was hunting for a snack I came across a couple of boxes of brownie mixes. A little known fact: brownies are my dessert of choice. Once I make a pan, I can't stop eating them. I even love brownies for breakfast. I could usually eat a whole pan in two to three days. I started with one or two & a then I would have to straighten out my crooked cuts. Next thing I knew, half the pan was gone.
Once he discovered my weakness for the soft fudgey treat, Jason always gave me a hard time about and claimed that if he didn't steal the first couple of pieces, he wouldn't get any. I used all my will power to make them last as long as possible & make sure Jason got last one. That way he couldn't blame me for scarfing down the whole pan. Jason also started hiding the pan of brownies, so I had to hunt for them and I wouldn't eat the whole thing for breakfast.
So tonight, I made my first pan of brownies without Jason. I only ate three, and then I hid the pan the same place Jason hid it last time. It was such a great spot it took me two days to find it. By the time I discovered it, Jason had only left me two brownies. Maybe I'll forget about the chocolaty goodness tomorrow morning, and manage to make it through the day without annihilating the rest of the pan. I can only hope.
After my brownie break, I decided it was also time to take a budget break until tomorrow... Hurray for breaks and brownies.

Brownies are WAY better than budgets!
Glad your batter atleast makes it to the pan. I like to just eat the batter. I thought I would out grow that but now I just do it with Karlee.
