But I will die with one huge honking smile on my face! Just made gingerbread cookies (From mix; the one time I tried to make it from scratch it didn't work out too well. But then I didn't realize that you had to mold the cold hard dough and sometimes gingerbread is crumbly. I might try from scratch again.) and OMG! my mouth is singing like Julie Andrews (Or Carrie Underwood depending on how old you are.) in the Sound of Music! I wish it weren't raining and I lived in the Swiss countryside so I could go singing into the mountains.
I seriously love the holidays if only for the holiday baking. One year I made Sugar cookies and butter pecan bread for the teachers at my kids schools and I got like five emails from teachers thanking me for both the slices of bread and the cookies. Then I made then for the children at church and I didn't even get one of my own cookies! (Which was totally fine considering I ate maybe half my weight in ones that I purposefully broke so that I could say oops broken! Can't send!)
I'm a butter user. Margarine is a dirty nasty word in my house. We don't say it and we don't use it. If I were a dairy maid I would spent half of my time churning butter and the other half of it using said butter. Everything just tastes so much better with it. That's why I say the holidays just might kill me.
The church asked for Christmas cookies for the fellowship with the apartments right behind us this year so seeing as how this week is uber busy for me, I made the dough this afternoon. I may have to make more. My mother has been asking me for about two days when she's going to get some sugar cookies. I may break down and roll out half of one of the bags tonight., and make her some cookies. She'll be surprised.
I'm one of those people that love gingerbread cookies but while most people eat the head first and end the poor man's suffering, I like to start at the bottom and eat his feet then his arms, then his body then his head. I pretend it's Gingy from the Shrek movies, and he's screaming that funny scream of his. I am one messed up individual.
I need to catch up on my DVR. I have to date probably about five hours to clear but I don't sit on Facebook anymore so I'm not in my room as much and I just haven't caught up. I think I am going to sit and do that over the next few days. That is provided I get no invitations to go anywhere other than the places I have to go anyway. Honestly, I rather go see a movie or hang out but if that doesn't happen, we'll sit and watch at least five hours of tv.
Made bread today as well as the dough. The girls are pretty much salivating over it. Hell I am too.
Okay, see yall later.
