Headed to PA

So Trevor and I will be headed to NEPA this week. I'm excited! Trevor got to go to the Fair in August while while I was stuck here so I haven't been since June. Hmmmph! And since neither of us have to work we get to stay longer than normal. And we are having Hunter Family Christmas on Tuesday. Woo hoo!!!

Just One of Those Days

You know the days where you set out to be productive and think you are going to have a lot of fun, and then everything goes wrong. Well that happened today.

I'm starting to get anxious, Trevor and I are home together all the time which is good and bad. Tonight was the only alone time I have had in a while.

I hate cold weather, my feet are perpetually cold. I hate clutter but have no time to pick up my apartment because I am trying to get everything ready for Christmas and our trip.

Ok. Some good things in my life so I am not a Debbie Downer

Christmas is almost here and I get to see Trevor's family

Trevor and I are healthy

Wrightsville Beach is only 12 hours away give or take

I get to go back to Mexico in February

Christmas Cookies That Made Me Crazy

Today in my free time...wait all my time is free. I went to my Grandparents house and helped put up their tree and helped decorate. If I do say so myself it looks pretty snazzy. I also made cookies that I started Sunday. It was pretty much a disaster, I will never make cookies that have to be rolled again. It's not worth it. I will also look at how many cookies the recipe makes before putting ingredients in a bowl. 96 unmade cookies of rolling sticky dough that didn't roll and made me want to cuss stared me in the face and I was pretty sure that we might have gotten to try them next Christmas. The picture of that cookie in Good Housekeeping couldn't have been real, I'm convinced they molded it out of plastic so it could sit their all perfect laughing at people like myself trying to make it. So after tearing out my hair and looking like I jumped in the flour canister and flailed about my grandma came up with the genius idea just to make the cookies as if they were peanut butter ones and roll them up and smash them with a fork. She is my hero. So I have quite a few cookies that need eaten and as my Grandmother said they are "Ledicious" I def bit off more than I could chew with that recipe.
