Lara bakes…kinda
So tonight, I am going over to a friend’s house, and I thought, what better way to show my love and appreciation than to bake? I mean anyone can purchase cake, right? Chocoholic that I am, I found Death by Chocolate and I’m like, this looks AWESOME. But then, after reading about all the beating, and whisking, mixing and melting, I’m like who the F&ck wants to DIE anyway?? Nothing like a good ‘ol Duncan Hines Brownie Mix. So I go to the store and after reading the box, find there are way too many ingredients I can’t pronounce . And me being all natural and everything (except when it comes to wine), I find these:
And, an added benefit? When made by the box directions, only 120 calories, 0 fat, and 1 gram fiber. If my memory serves me correctly, only 2 points. (Except, I didn’t follow directions and I added Ghiradelli semi-sweet chips– so I think they might be a tad more). But at least, I can pronounce all the ingredients like sugar, flour and cocoa.
So I bake and I bake (for at least 1 hour–even though the box says 45 minutes) because the insides are still gooey. But then, low and behold…the verdict is? Delicious (according to me and Bella ) If you’re trying to watch your weight, you might want to try them without the chips. But then again…maybe not.
Happy New Year everyone. And tomorrow? Tomorrow will be another diet day.
To all my friends in California…
…Stop posting your friggin’ weather reports.
Need I say more???? You know who you are.

Paid for not showing up
Are you kidding me?? This is a job I would like to have. No, LOVE to have! But, however, I would think once or twice or three times BEFORE ordering any kind of equipment from Avaya. But then again, how stupid was Armatys to try and withdraw money from a 401k?? As my 3rd grade teacher would say, “e- gads and little fishes.” (I would say, fuggin’ asshole.)
Anthony Armatys is facing up to six years in prison for his dumb move. But he’s not the only dummy in this story. Ammatys accepted a job in 2002 with telecom equipment maker Avaya but then changed his mind before he started. He was already in the payroll system however, and the company started depositing his six-figure salary into his checking account.
For five years, Armatys did not notify Avaya of its error, but his attempt to make an early withdrawal from his 401(k) prompted an investigation that led to his arrest In October Armatys pleaded guilty to theft and was ordered to repay the $470,995.53 in compensation he received. He faces full sentencing in January.
