I was busy, busy, busy all morning.

After I put a cake in the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes, I decided to sit down and relax a bit while reading up on what everyone was doing.

:oops: I lost track of time - and when I looked at the clock for the very first time the 40 minutes was over.

Luckily the cake didn't burn - Hopefully it's not too dry.

If you should only sit here for a certain length of time, set your timer. LOL

LOL, I have done the same thing many times! This place is so addicting. Before I got on the internet back in the early/mid 90's, I used to get so much more accomplished. Way back then, we paid by the hour so I tried to use Sundays as my internet day (and it cost a fortune). I was so glad when unlimited usage came about but now adays, it's a double edged sword!

Make a poke cake out of it :wink: Poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon, and pour chocolate (or any other flavor of ice cream topping) into the holes. It will moisten that cake up while you come back to the board to play :wink:

I have to constantly remind myself to get off this site so I am not late to work!

I like to surf while having breakfast.
