Sweet Sixteen: April Fool's!

The more I hang out with people from different countries, the more I realize that people really are very much alike. We all need food and water to stay alive, we all want to contribute to society, we all love playing practical jokes on our unsuspecting friends and family. And you're in luck today, because if you haven't already planned and prepped your own fool-worthy desserts, here are a few great ideas!

Oh, and if you just can't get enough of the jokes, check out Delish for some extreme food pranks that businesses pulled in the past. Hilarious!

13.1 Miles? Done and Done.

That's right. I am officially a Baltimore Half Marathon Champion! And I reached my goal to not only cross the finish line, but to do it in under 3 hours! Special thanks to Judy for our carb-load dinner the night before and an eggy breakfast sandwich at the crack of dawn.

And, ooh! Look at those awesome shoes! At first I was opposed to hot pink, but when it's combined with neon yellow, how could you possibly go wrong? They're totally 80-riffic!

Look how happy I am before we even started! It sure is a good thing we were hunching down so all our awesome running muscles would fit in the picture. And I'm sure we looked just as lovely after crossing that finish line, just plus a little more sweat.

Okay, fine. Besides emerging for bites of food and a few hours of church, I pretty much spent the rest of my weekend watching movies and sleeping. I think I earned myself a treat...or maybe that mixer!
