(no subject)

This morning I woke up and felt pretty damned fantastic, so I baked. A Lot.

--chocolate chip cookies (two dozen without nuts and three dozen with)
--rice krispie squares
--brownies
--spritz cookies (dozens and dozens and dozens)
--fudge
--iced butter cookies
--three small loaves of chocolate chip pound cakes
--peppermints
--seven layer bars

Most to be given as gifts to the neighbors, my bosses, my employees, and my family. I also cleaned the house, ironed my clothes, shopped for the rest of the Christmas presents, wrapped said presents, read some of my book, and went grocery shopping (and spent a truly shocking amount--nearly $300--but it'll see us through most of January as I don't get paid again until January 15). I still have a bit of finishing up to do. Tomorrow morning, I have to go to the dentist (blah) and then after work (double blah) I have to go buy a new microwave because mine died while I was on vacation (of course it did...and that should do it. all the appliances have been replaced.) And I need to fix my manicure. If I get everything done, though, then all I have to do this week is cross stitch and write and read. And eat leftover cookies. I'm looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to my three and half day work week and then more vacation time! My mom is chickening out of her surgery, so we'll see if that actually happens or not...

Hope you've had a good weekend!
