I must help my Australian family with measurements!! I didn't give converted measurements...
The pie filling...
2 cans - 595 grams each.
The cake mix...
A yellow cake mix (I think I specified the yellow cake in the last blog)
The butter...
1/4 of a pound
As for the 350 degrees - you're on your own!

Dangerously Delicious Dump Cake
My sister-in-law made a dump cake about a month ago... and since that time, I think I've made seven or eight of them (for other people of course)! :) They're SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I thought I'd take a moment to share the recipe... because it's amazing.
1 stick of butter
1 yellow cake mix
2 cans of pie filling (so far, strawberry has been our favorite)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a 9x13 pan, "dump" the pie filling and spread evenly.
Next, "dump" the dry yellow cake mix and make sure it too, is spread evenly over the pie filling.
Finally, melt the butter completely and "dump" it all over the top of the cake mix.
Pop it in the oven for 40-50 minutes... pull it out... let it sit for a bit... and ENJOY!
It is one of the easiest and most delicious desserts I've ever made!
We've tried it with blueberry and raspberry as well as strawberry so far. We've heard that it's good with the apple as well. I'm eager to try that next. I'm sure cherry would be good too, but I can't eat cherry pie filling because it gives me migraines (seriously).
Next up... the lil bub... still not great. Boo. I hate it when he is sick. Makes me feel terrible.
On a happy note... it is a beautiful day today! I love when the sun (finally) shines! I'm still cold as usual.
I think I should have been born on the sun. I might - and let me stress MIGHT - have been able to stay warm there. I am ALWAYS cold! I don't know if it's bad circulation or what... but I can't seem to ever stay warm! Maybe the arctic Wausau air has just permeated my body way too much and I just can't get rid of it - even when it warms up here!!
Who knows.
Anyways, got lots to do before the lil man wakes up from his nap.
As I've learned in Spanish (and have known since probably kindergarten),
Adios!
I still don't know how to use the Spanish keys though. :(

Never Stop Learning
I think, if I was not married, I would be a "professional student." I have always loved to learn new and interesting things... and I'm usually that strange little bug that always has a dab of informational data to spit out at a dinner party (usually, not having much significance on any conversation). I love to learn. Interestingly enough, I hate reading. I'm one of those listening learners... I can read. :) I do read... but I usually don't enjoy it unless it is fictional and can take me away to far away lands.
Currently, I am enthralled in learning a different language. I am hoping to eventually learn MANY languages, like French, Italian, German, and I'd really like to continue learning Greek, and also learn Hebrew, Arabic (someday), and some other cool languages like Swahili and Portuguese.
For now, I'm learning the ever typical - Spanish. I do not enjoy Spanish. I've never wanted to learn Spanish, but since high school, I've taken Spanish classes, my mother can speak it almost fluently, and I actually understand it... Interestingly, at the Olive Garden, we have a few people in the kitchen who speak Spanish (and only Spanish), and I'd like to be able to converse with them at some point, too. Okay, and selfishly, I'd like to be able to have a conversation with someone (like Josh's auntie who I love) in Spanish without many others knowing what we're talking about! :)
Rosetta Stone has been my plan. I started using it last week and so far so good. I'm learning in ways I never learned Spanish before. I remember from past classes a lot of what I'm being taught now, but I understand it far better... and I'm actually enjoying it! I'm on level 1, Unit 2... it moves a little slow for me... but that's probably the best. It will get ingrained in my brain. I happen to be terribly impatient and making this jive in my brain by taking it slow is a challenge, but will prove to be worth it, I'm sure.
I guess, my main thought of this particular blog is one specific idea - Never Stop Learning! Knowledge and understanding are so vital to life! We can not make informed decisions in life - if we are uninformed! A subject very poignant to me is political science... did you know that the majority of people get their information about government by late night talk shows (that information is from my secular textbook I teach from at the Tech)! I have to forewarn you... that's not good enough information!!! When I say, be informed -- I mean, READ (even if you hate it more than anything) newspapers, books, journals, etc... Listen to the radio and information given there... ask people for their own opinions... listen to BOTH sides... and check the facts!
If you are looking for ultimate Truth - consult the Bible (and if you don't understand what it is saying - consult a Pastor from a Bible believing/teaching church). I will also add... When it comes to government, I say, listen to both sides... However, when it comes to the Bible, I am not willing to listen to any side but a Biblical side when it comes to truth. Sound irrational? It's not. I am not uninformed on other religious views - as I have been purposely learning much about Islam and have studied other religions as well... However, when seeking the truth to apply to my life - I will only consult the Bible.
All this to say - never stop learning.

I Just Wanna Be a Momma!
My baby is sick. He's had a 102 + fever the past 2 days. I was sick on Sunday and I think he was just starting to get sick then, too. I was supposed to work tonight, but my momma-instincts have kicked in and I got someone to work for me.
My husband is not incapable of taking care of the little man... however, there is just something inside of me that screams, "I JUST WANNA BE A MOMMA!" Forget work! I've got a baby to take care of!
Thus, not much for posts since Sunday.
Hopefully he'll be getting well soon!
Please pray for him! :)
(And me... still not feeling 100%)
