Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My sara-like cookies are done but totally different -- I made sandwiches instead and I used smoked chipotle instead of cayenne. So I recovered from my epic cookie fail.
I have used over 8 pound of butter this holiday season and that's not including the 5+ dozen cookies I made for Noah's school party.
Tomorrow I have yoga and the cookie exchange there. Then home to relax.
Wow. Just got a phone call from a cousin of my mom. Apparently I met her when I was quite young. Beyond that, I don't ever remember meeting her. She had sent a Christmas card to mom last year and I had to send a note back breaking the hard news to her.
Anyway, I sent her a card this year and mentioned that we would be in California in May. Today was the first time I've talked with her and she sounds delightful. She mentioned something about the family tree and where she fits in it. I told her I had some genealogy records from my mom which included her side of the family. I need to copy those and send them to her. Sounds like she had a brother-in-law she didn't know about.
Hec, Tom and I were admiring Emmett's excellent fashion sense. Fezzes are cool!
So are bow ties.
I want to be Quorra for Halloween. Not sure why. I have little interest in seeing the movie. I don't like 13.
Okay, bedtime. Up early tomorrow.
OMG, there's snow and ice here on the ground here in Columbus.
But we're inside now and watching The Princess Bride!
I am sorry I missed you tonight, ita. I got twinned in.
Attention Jesse: This is for you: [link]
In possibly the I am the dumbest person ever news, I went out shopping for jeans for myself on Christmas eve eve.
I drove 95 miles to the Apple store today so I could not get waited on after a 40-minute wait.

He was thinking of finishing off the look with a walking stick he found in Chinatown that had a carved dragon handle. Though, I must note for Jessica's sake, there was also a cool walking stick with a turtle on top. A sleek, fast swimming turtle.
Cousins are here. Kids are still awake. Oy. Not going to be pretty tomorrow.
The tree is trimmed! Cookies are still unbaked, but dough is ready to roll. Kat I am in awe of your 8 pounds of butter. I bow to your kitchen-fu.
