snow day

hmmm yup did not get one. Shocking I know. Good thing I made my nine bazillion cookies last night although I believe I caused a rift in my marriage by telling David he could not sample any. Yes I should have made an extra batch but I had exactly enough for the teacher's cookie exchange. I suppose I will make more this weekend. So back to the snow day or rather lack there of.. I still turned on local news this morning because lack of snow is not necessarily an indication of school cancellation C anxiously watched with me and got excited when he saw Knox County scrawl across the bottom only to have his little hopes shattered at it being Knox County KY
maybe next time buddy...

rain rain and more rain

bleech I feel like a drowned rat and my house smells of wet dog. I am sick of standing water on the roads & in parking lots, my clothes being damp and looking at my yard full of muddy nasty puddles... I was going to say well at least it isn't snow but looking at the forecast it might be snow tonight. I hope we have enough bread, milk, eggs & toilet paper 'cause I am not going near a grocery store this afternoon! A snow day might be nice but I wonder if I should bake my 8 dozen cookies for the PTA for tomorrow? If I don't it'll stay rainy but if I do school will be closed tomorrow and I will have 8 dozen cookies at the house..maybe I should get more milk

grand theft baby Jesus

when we were first married like a million years ago one the the neighborhoods we would drive through would put a beautiful creche in their yard each holiday season. It was a very nice manager scene with what appeared to be wooden figures, maybe hand carved, just read as not plastic plug in kind. But what would drive me ever loving bonkers each year would be the fact the Jesus figurine was in the manger the entire season! You do not put baby Jesus in his crib until Christmas Eve!!!!! I always threatened to steal him then put him back when he was suppose to be there but I never did. Who knows I might run a reconnaissance mission this weekend...

cookie exchange

so I am kicking myself for not organizing one this year! My SIL seems to be frequently involved in them & they always sound so much fun. Maybe next year...I did however sign up to bake 4 dozen for the PTA sponsored cookie exchange at the school this Friday. Am I crazy or what? Luckily I found the easiest cookie in the world to make courtesy of Pillsbury-buy pre-made chocolate chip dough bake in mini muffin tins and as you pull cookies out stuff some chips of your choice onto the top of each cookie-I used the white & chocolate swirled this past weekend and they were very good. Just got an email that they were still short a couple of volunteers so like an idiot I will probably offer to make another 4 dozen maybe with the peanut butter dough for a little variety.
