I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

Baking like Betty

Day #246-#248:
In 3 days, this is what I have noticed. It only takes a Betty Crocker cake to make people really happy. Simple really. You can make somebody's day just by taking half an hour out of your life and about 5 bucks out of your pocket. Tomorrow is Chad's birthday. He's our new supervisor. We're having a delicious hole punch cake. Everyone has come to expect a cake in Swampers on their birthday. Hilariously enough, they always ask me for it. They never ask my Master Chef Roommate even though I'm confident his cake would be about a bazillion times better. Usually it's just a yellow cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles. But Chadley didn't specify what he liked, so Chef and I decided on a little bit of deliciousness. The Chocolate Delight. You know, the chococate with chocolate fudge and sweetened condensed milk inside, topped with Cool Whip and a Hershey bar. Chef's most excited. He said he guessed "WE" needed to cook that one. Then corrected with not so much "WE" as me, I needed to bake it and he was already in the land of happy ready to eat it. Speaking of the Icelandic wonder, he cracked me up today. We were all having some icelandic water when Jim told him he didn't even have to cool it last night, it was already cool enough to drink. "Of course," was Chef's reply. "It comes straight from the glacier. No need to cool it because it never gets above room temperature." I cracked up and assured Jim Chef was full of crap. "You don't believe me?!" ABSOLUTELY NOT. It was hilarious though. I guess you had to be there to fully catch the funny. :0)
