What's the best new recipe you've made lately? I have no time to be creative right now..i'm lucky if I cook. DH has been cooking some of my tried and true things
- Name something good that's happened to you lately. We put an offer on a short sale home we loved on Saturday and we just heard last night that the seller signed off on our offer. They had one other offer so we were a bit worried. Now we just have to play the waiting game to see if/when the banks approve.
- What's your favorite board game? Probably Clue
- Do you play video or computer games? Not video but I play a ton of horribly addicting games on FB.

http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Cherry-Pudding-CakeName something good that's happened to you lately. I've been praised and valued at work a great deal lately, which is reassuring after having two jobs where I felt undervalued all the time.
What's your favorite board game? I like the fun group games like Apples to Apples, Cranium, Taboo, etc. They're the ones my family plays at get-togethers and we always have a blast. I also really enjoy Scattergories, but in my family, I'm odd-girl-out. No one loves it as much as I do.
Do you play video or computer games? I was addicted to those damn Zynga games on Facebook for the longest time, but I've uninstalled all of them in an attempt to get my life back. It was just sad how much time I was wasting on them (which is not a judgment of others playing them) and I'm glad to be rid of them. I don't play any others.
What would you be doing if you weren't working today? Finishing up getting my house in order (we're on a rampage of de-cluttering and re-organizing), doing laundry, taking a nap and reading.
What was your favorite subject in school? I was an environmental science major in HS and loved almost all of the "extra" science classes I took in that program - Chesapeake Bay, Environmental Science, Marine Biology. I also really enjoyed Psychology and Facing History.
What's your favorite rainy day indoor activity? Napping and reading!
What's the best new recipe you've made lately? I haven't done much cooking or baking of late, sadly. The best thing I've made recently was Classy Chocolate Pound Cake from Tastefully Simple (DELICIOUS!). I made a new recipe for dinner last night and while the flavor was decent, the sauce never came together, so I was disappointed in it.
That one was really good! It was just great comfort food, and it was even better the next day.
Those have been on my To Make list for forever! I really need to find an excuse to make them.
