a first time for everything.

last week, i ran my first (un-official) half marathon (and then some)!
i did 15 miles in just more than two hours.
i survived...but my phone did not.
(had to replace it this week...boo) 

also last week, i went with sports boy to finalize the deal on 
his first ever major car purchase -- an audi!
lastly last week, i made gummy shapes!
it was easier than i thought.
ingredients: 1 small package jello, 7 gelatin packets, 1/2 cup water.
mix it all together until it has the consistency of play dough --
then stir over low heat until it melts to a liquid -- 
pour the liquid into molds and pop them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
voila!
gummy shapes --
i poured some of the mixture into cookie cutters to make big shapes.
(i tried to fix this one as jello was cooling so it got messed up)
i used them to top a giant "dirt cups" recipe --
ingredients: chocolate pudding, cool whip and crushed oreos.
partially gluten-free ( :

So I haven't checked in in a while, and this post is therefore new to me -- congratulations on the half-marathon. The gummy shapes look great. You're a multi-talented threat.
