Dancing Around My Kitchen While Making Carrot Cake

I originally posted this on Cynthia's Blog on May 31, 2010.
Decided to put some music on and dance while baking my grandmother's carrot cake. I put the batter into individual bundt muffin tins.
Time of day - afternoon
danced for - 40 minutes (but a lot of stop and go while baking)
mood before - 6
mood after - 7.5

Great song to bake and dance to...Livin' For The Weekend by the O'Jays
