Karrmedia, that is.
Well, I’m not sure if the MAN knows I’m free, but still, I am.
Of ads. Crappy, crappy, stupid, annoying, sucktastic ads.
I put ads on my blog when I was getting lots of traffic for whatever reason and let me just say they have been… stupid. I never earned a single cent. Seriously! What a bunch of jerks! So my blog isn’t “popular,” you’re here and that’s all I care about. They have weird rules about posting, pay almost nothing and they were going to put on these big pop-up banner things so goodbye ads and good riddance!
I knew I wasn’t going to get rich from my ads but good grief I at least hoped to get enough for a dinner at Chick-fil-A. Sigh.
Did you know that today is Blue Monday? Me either.
After Mike came home I was telling him about what a crappy day I had and he said it was because today is the most depressing day of the year, the Monday of the last full week in January.
So if you were feeling down today cheer up, at least you were not alone!
(Also can someone please explain to me how my husband knows SO many weird little details? I’ve learned many, many useless facts and unsavory euphemisms from that one.)
Yesterday I made Whoopie Pies, no big whoop (oh that was bad, that was really, really bad, sorry).
But seriously, hot dang these were… what’s the word I’m looking for? Oh yes, delicious. Delicious will work just fine.
Whoopie Pies
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup cocoa
1 t baking soda
¼ t salt
6 T butter, melted
¾ cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1 t vanilla
6 T butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
7 oz. marshmallow crème
1 t vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 F.

I *think* the kids enjoyed them.
Lately Nick is into giving a “toes up” just like on Seinfeld years ago although he has never seen that episode, also I believe that was “giving the toe” as opposed to “giving the finger.” I like Nick’s version better I guess. Especially because a few days ago Zoey actually gave me the finger, but she was just babbling about something while she did it so I’m pretty sure she wasn’t actually GIVING me the finger. It was one of those MANY times lately when I just look away and try not to giggle. Just like at Christmas when Nick said “Holy shit that was some good food!”
Aaaaaaand back to the point. Toes up. And we were talking about how each hand and foot have five digits when Nick ran out of the room and came back with this:
Is geniusOMG.
He is not even five years old yet. He is blowing my mind. I might as well just send him off to college.
