 This is my favorite Chocolate Cake recipe.  It is from All recipes.com. It is a rich and easy chocolate cake that you can use a boxed mix to start with and just doctor it up. It’s full of delicious richness, from the sour cream, pudding mix and the chocolate chips. It has a delectable cream cheese icing. It’s to die for good!<\/p>\n

 I played around while it was baking and rearranged some of my Christmas stuff. I’m only enjoying it for another few days and then I’ll have to do the dirty job of putting Christmas away.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Which is depressing so I’m not going to think about it today…..I’m going to the movies instead……yippee!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 I’m really good at denial and not facing up to responsibilities….especially on my winter break from teaching school.  I just like sleeping in….eating lots of snacks and cold cereal….and NOT making dinner….<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
