I had an amazing time yesterday with my good friend, her 2 daughters, my step mom, dad, and my kids. We had our annual Christmas Cookie Bake day. Cost of Goods - $60.00, Time Spent - 1 day, Spending quality time with loved ones....Priceless! I think we knocked out about 15 dozen cookies, truffles, and cookie bark in 6 hours and that may just be a record! The kids had a wonderful time decorating all of their sugar cookies. I say "their" because little fingers and butter knives tend to go into the mouth to lick frosting and then find their way back to the cookie so those were their own "Special" cookies! I took out some for decorating later. All in all everything went according to plan, minus the burn I got on my arm from the cookie sheet anyway. It's times like this when I feel so fortunate to have such great friends and family surrounding us. Our time here is so short, it is best spent surrounding yourself with love and laughter!
We finished our cookie adventure around 3pm and I proceeded to get ready for my next adventure of the day... Bartending! That is right, spent all day baking and now off to work. I actually enjoy my job considering I get out of the house and get to talk to people who don't need me to wipe their cute little butts. Although it was oddly slow I am guessing due to all the men out hunting Bambi for the deer opener. I could only conclude that they either shot the "big one" early and were already passed out or they didn't get one at all and decided to hit the sack early so as to be refreshed and ready to "get r done" in the morning. So for the last 2 hours or so I just sat alone in the bar in total peace and quiet, it was actually quite nice, although not so nice when I left with next to nothing in tips for my 8 hours of work. Well you can't always have your cake and eat it too, right? I got home around 2am and woke up at 5am to get Sissy and brought her to bed to nurse. Fell asleep, yet again, but this time when I woke up I was shocked because it was 9am and not a sound anywhere. My lovely husband had taken my boys out for breakfast so I could sleep in and I took a nice hot bath. It doesn't get any better than that...Ladies don't be jealous...Ok, maybe just a little. All in all, it was a nice day at home with the family although I do have to say it could have been just a bit better if the Vikings would have won. Thanks for listening.
