Six months from right now I will be getting very nervous/excited! Why? Well, because I will be about to walk down the aisle to marry this guy: 
YAY! Can 6/27/2009 get here already!?!

Why my christmas tree has so many bent branches
Thats Ariel, perched in my tree. LOL. I saw her, ran to get the camera. Snapped several pics. THEN yelled at her to get out of the tree. Gotta love the animals for entertainment!

Eddies Sweeties
So... I did some baking tonight. We are having a carry-in (pot luck, whatever you wanna call it) for our Holiday party at work tomorrow. We were supposed to have a big, fancy lunch... but um... budget cuts and all, so now we are doing a carry-in and a white elephant gift exchange. Anyway, I decided to pull out an oldie, but a goodie for my contribution to tomorrow's festivities.
Eddies Sweeties
1 Box German Chocolate Cake Mix
2/3 cup evaporated milk
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 stick of butter, melted
1 bag of caramels (I got the unwrapped baking kind this time.... SUCH a time saver!)
1 bag (6 or 8 oz) of chocolate chips
Mix the cake mix, butter, and 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk until crumbly. Put 1/2 of the mixture into a buttered cake pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350.
Melt in a saucepan the remaining 1/3 cup of evaporated milk and the caramels until smooth.
When cake mixture is finished baking, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot cake. Pour the caramel mixture over top of the chocolate chips. Finally, drop little chunks of the remaining cake mixture over the top and bake for another 15 to 18 minutes. Do not overbake.
Yumminess.
The last time I made this and brought it to work (a different job) I had like 5 people ask for the recipe. Lets see what happens tomorrow!
Puerto Rico Pics
These are the views from our room which ended up being a Cabana room. It was pretty sweet b/c my Mom and I went down a few days early- she booked the room through Travelocity so we ended up getting an upgrade. Then, when the conference rate kicked in, they let us stay in the upgraded room for the same price! It was soooo nice!
My Mom and I ran into another woman who works where I work... we went do dinner the second two nights with her and her friends. In the pic above we were enjoying some free shots they gave us at the restaurant after we had enjoyed a free pitcher of Mojitos! I love the pic of me and my mom :) We are standing in front of some fountain in Old San Jaun.
Here are just a few random beach pics. The beach was great... you know, other than the whole knee incident... See how big the waves are?!?
Anyway, thats about it. I may load some more pics later, but for now, I need to get to work!
Well Helloooooo
Well, is been awhile since I wrote... and much has happend. When I last wrote I was en route to Puerto Rico... which was AWESOME! I will post some pics in a separate post and probably a review of the hotel we stayed in to chronicle this trip. PR is a great place to go... its in the south carribbean, so very warm and tropical. What is nice about it is that you get a different cultural feel without having to go through customs, change currency, etc. It was great.
The only bad thing about the trip was that I chose to ignore this sign (notice the human being on his ass being swalled by a wave!)
Which ultimately resulted in me getting swallowed by a wave... losing my favorite sunglasses and then in the process of dragging myself out of the water to avoid drowning, I did something to my right knee.
After an x-ray and then an MRI the other day I have learned that my injury is most likey a torn meniscus. I have an appointment this morning with a knee guy to find out my diagnosis. Hopefully it doesn't require surgery. That is not my idea of a good time. I will post more later when I have news.
Anyway, on Tuesday I took, and PASSED part 2 of the CMA exam! WOO HOO! YAY! Now only two parts left. Passing felt really good because I truely spent so much time studying. It was rough! I need to take some time and evaluate whether or not I actually have time for them in 2009 due to the wedding and our honeymoon. I really don't want to be studying in Maui like I was in Puerto Rico. YES, I studied in Puerto Rico. I even have proof:
Other than that... not much is new. I'm going to try and blog more often. I wonder if anybody is actually reading this crap!?!
