Bran muffins and humming

Oh my gosh! I'm blogging!! ^_^

First I have to say that I managed to work my way around my laziness a couple weeks ago and actually bake some bran muffins! Boy are those thing delicious. I don't know why they are so stinkin good. And on Valentine's weekend Dustin, Chiemi and those 2 adorable girls came down to visit us! And then I decided that I love bran muffins so much I was willing to make another batch (this batch I used some heart shaped muffin cups that my mom had). I then found out that my little nieces LOVE bran muffins too. They just gobbled up 2 each on Saturday. It made me even more glad that I did bake them. (though I have to say I was kinda sad since they went so fast and I didn't get to eat as many as I did with the previous batch.)

Ok...and another thing I have to say about tonight's amusing events. The 'rents and I watched Igor (cute movie...much more funny than I expected) and it had one of my most hated songs sung a lot in it (Vicki, you should definitely know what I'm talking about). But the funny part isn't that. The funny thing is that as we were having family prayer afterwards, right in the middle of my mom saying the prayer, my dad busts out and starts humming that song randomly. It totally made my mom pause and ALL of us were kinda thinking...what the heck? Is he HUMMING?! Even my dad admitted to to being baffled as to why he did it. He blames the movie because it is all about evil. I have to agree what with them torturing me with that horrid song. ^_~

On a sadder note, my WoW account has expired for a couple months since school is back in session. ::sigh:: That is such a fun game. I wouldn't suggest anyone try it because it is pretty addictive. Which is why I make myself take a break from it during school. School...I dislike it, but it is necessary. I anticipate that my classes are going to be hard for me this semester. Glad that most of my professors seem to be pretty funny and interesting with these subjects. Well, I can only hope for the best.

Well, I'm going to add a pic of my bran muffins when I get a chance to get my pics off my camera. Hopefully for you all, I will have something to write about soon and not in another few months. Til next time! ::muah::

(fine print: for those of you who were wondering as to "the song" it was "Tomorrow" from Annie ::shudder::)
