Good Morning! I can’t resist sweets. They are my downfall. So, this morning for Jeriann’s birthday I thought I would bring in something that isn’t TOO bad for you because I knew I would be eating more than my fair share. I brought in chocolate cake made with pumpkin instead of oil and egg. It’s really good and healthy… I’ll share the recipe below. But then Jeriann had to bring in treats, too. Ever had scotch-a-roos? OMG! I can’t stop picking at them. Apparently Jeriann’s husband Rob made them last night after she went to bed and set them out for her as a birthday gift. I am already starting to loosen by waist band. And I thought I was going to be good today!
On a side note… Today is a reminder to me that life can change in a short amount of time. Three years ago I traveled to Mexico with Jeriann and our friend Elisha to celebrate Jeriann’s birthday. I was just married with no children and Jeriann hadn’t even met her husband yet.

The former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojavich found out he cannot travel to Costa Rica to be in a new NBC reality show called I am a celebrity, now get me out of here. But this morning he said he might still be a part of the show while remaining in the US. He says he needs the show to make money to support his family. You just can’t make this up!
Speaking of reality.. Anoop and Lil’ Rounds got the ax last night on American Idol. I am sad about Anoop but if Adam Lambert doesn’t win… I am done with the show.
Hope you enjoy the sunshine. See you tomorrow!
