My Blonde Moment

So last night I was getting ready to bake a chocolate cake. I put the mix from the box in the bowl (yes, I know I didn't make it from scratch- I am a slacker) and the oil, eggs, and water in as well. Then the box says to mix on low speed for one minute. So I get my beaters out and look at the clock on the microwave. It says 1:34. So I start the mixer and after a bit I figured that I must have started just as the 1:34 turned to 1:34 because the clock didn't turn to 1:35 for a little while. So I knew that I would be good if i just kept mixing until the clock turned to 1:35. So I am standing there (spacing off of course) and mixing (for like five minutes) and I look at the clock and it is still at 1:34 and I am thinking to myself, 'Wow! This is the longest minute I have ever lived!" Then after a few more minutes I totally realize that that is NOT the time (duh! It was like 7:00 in the evening!) and that someone had set the timer and stopped it at 1:34. Wow. I am real smart! And let's just say, my batter was very well mixed!
