Another Day and a Little More Thankfulness

Today I woke up not worried about tomorrow... mostly because I was worried about today.  So, for about the 3rd winter in a row we have run out of propane.  For those that do not use propane, it is what heats our house, our water, runs our gas stove, etc.  IT'S 8 DEGREES OUTSIDE!!!!! Of course this all happens at 8:30 last night.  Propane companies don't really do midnight refills.  In a panic Austin and I head for Walmart, we find the heaters...KEROSENE heaters. UGH! WHERE ARE THE LITTLE PLUG IN SPACE HEATERS PEOPLE?!?!  We make a mad dash for the door and then a last minute decision to run into Best Buy, mind you, it's 8:50 now. They close at 9:00.  We begin scanning the isles.  Bingo! Heater... crap... Dyson heater.  Um, we will not be spending $400 today.  Looks like we will be chopping wood.  We round the corner... JACKPOT!  Space heaters and the plug in kind! I can hear the hallelujah chorus!  Luckily our house has not lost too much heat when we return. We are only down to 64 degrees. Giant whoop!  We plug in our 3 heaters and live to see another warm day!

Today I am thankful for space heaters, blankets and my UGGs aka UGGly boots. ( Not my idea of a fashion statement, but super duper warm.) GOD does provide!!!

Today I am not thankful for the brownie in a mug recipe I found on Pinterest.  Don't get me wrong, it was a Pinterest success and beyond delicious, but I better get thankful for treadmills really fast, because I don't see myself not having one daily anytime soon.  Those that dare start... 

Chocalate Amazingness in a Mug

2 Tablespoons of Butter

2 Tablespoons of Water

A pinch of salt

4 Tablespoons of Sugar (Yes that is a 4 and a TABLESPOONS..gross I know)

2 Tablespoons of Cocoa 

4 Tablespoons of Flour

Mix butter, water and salt well.  Add sugar, again mix well.  Add Cocoa, mix.  Finally add flour, stir,stir,stir.  Microwave for 60-90 seconds.  Let cool.  Open the microwave door.  The hallelujah choras is back. Remove from microwave. Yell voila. (ok, maybe not necessary, but why not? It is a little magical.)   Enjoy a tiny bit of heaven.
