It’s the last Tuesday in July…already! I cannot believe how quickly this summer has gone!
Today was actually a pretty productive day for me. I say actually because I have been soooo tired lately! This last weekend with my cousins and the tonsillitis wore me out! 🙂 Plus, today is one of those rainy, overcast days (love those!). I worked on my newsletter (which you can sign up for! Send me an email at erynnmangum@gmail.com and I’ll be sure to add you to the list!). I worked on a new story (check out my name contest).
I had lunch today with one of my sweetest friends, Elisa. I’ve known Elisa since junior year of high school and she’s one of the few people who knows me very well. I tend to swim on the shallow side with most people. Elisa pushes me to the deep end.
We’ve talked about how we worship God. We’ve talked about haircuts. We’ve talked about practical ways we can glorify God. We’ve talked about boys. She’s one of the precious people God has placed in my life that just makes me thankful.
I hope you have a friend in your life like that! If not, start praying for one. God knows exactly what you need before you need it. And know that I’ll be praying for you as well!
Yesterday, I did something that I’m feeling the need to confess. I turned my back on my longtime friend known as Chocolate and made Lemon Bars.
In my defense, they are one of Jon’s favorite desserts. And also, I was snooping around Bakerella’s blog and they looked soooo good! Lemon Bars are like the epitome of summer desserts. Best of all, they were super easy and pretty foolproof (always nice for someone like me who doesn’t measure). 🙂
Here’s how mine turned out:
Erynn! You have created a monster, I've been on Bakerella's blog now for over 3 hours! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

Lemon bars are sooo delish! And as one who is also Very Good Friends with Chocolate…it's a shocker that I even tried them!
Although, yours came out looking MUCH prettier than mine! Great job!
Oh my… I haven't had lemon bars in ages. My mouth is watering at just the thought!
OH MY GOODNESS! I SO didn't know that you had a blog!!!! I LOVE your book Miss Match! And I also have a love for chocolate and coffee just like you! (Even though I'm only 12, yes, the coffee part is true!:))My sister wants to get the two sequels for her B-day that is coming up! The lemon bars look scrumptious! Keep writing cool books! From your BIGGEST FAN EVER,

Yes, it's me again, I just wanted to let you know not to be worried about all(about ten now=))my rambling comments on your blog, its just that you're one of my favorite authors, and its just like talking to your face… sorta, because if I was talking to your face, I would faint probably… =)
YOUR BIGGEST FAN EVER,
Sarah, from NC
p.s. I won't be commenting anymore today, because I have to take my lil' brother out to our wading pool… =D
These were awesome! It took me a while but I finished off the entire dish. By the way, this is Erynn's husband, Jon but I can't figure out how to put my name on the comment.
