lemon brownies!

Monday brought me some free time due to no work and class not starting until 6pm.  Mike was at work and I was sitting at home putting some finishing touches on my homework and catching up on some shows from Hulu+.  Of course I was multitasking and decided to browse around Pinterest for a couple minutes.  Well, I came across the recipe for lemon brownies.  I thought to myself, "Well, I do love lemon squares and I definitely love brownies, so I should give this a try!"  Luckily, I had all the ingredients besides lemons.  I sped over to Wal-Mart, bought 2 lemons, and came home eager to try this little recipe.  Unfortunately, I was rushed and had no time to take pictures :/ however, without further ado...
