OH my HOly HAnnah!

We had the missionaries and the young men over last night for dinner. I was trying to think of a quick dessert to put together because my feet feel like bloody stumps the more I stand on them. Soooo, I thought I'd make my grandma's brownies because they are really fast and easy. I made a full batch- I generally half it because we don't need that many brownies, but I knew I'd be feeding lots of boys. Anyway, I made them on a cookie sheet and then I thought I'd make the exactly how my grandma use to make them- with chocolate buttercream frosting. OH yes!! If you want something that will make you slap yo' mamma and then knock her out- make you some chocolate buttercream and frost yo' brownies. OH my GISH! They were so good- I knew if I ate them I would be belching FIRE all night, but it was so worth it. I didn't even have too much fire. I did wake up at 3 in the morning and had to sleep sitting up- but I did sleep for 3 straight hours sititng up in bed- woohoo!. Okay- those will definitely be made again when I want to ruin myself :) You need to make your own frosting too- don't be cheating with some nasty bought frosting and then comment on here that your brownies aren't great :) Homemade brownies with homemade buttercream- it's a good thing. (my little ode to Martha)

On a more depressing (but somehow related) note- my stretchmarks are creeping higher, ever higher up my belly. sigh. stinkin' genetics :) stinkin' brownies :) I definitely have the beached whale feeling going- 8 more weeks- and my friend, Shelly, is in the process of having her baby- dag- I'm jealous :)
