She Knows I Just Eat The Dough

Laura let me cook the oatmeal cookies today. I see it as a sign of concession.

She knows I'm just gonna eat half of it anyway.

I Am Awesome At Christmas

the past 24 hours I have been in the zone, man. The Christmas zone. The shopping zone, to be more specific. I had done very little up to now, especially for Laura (poor Laura) but just 36 hours later, I have seeked, purchased, and wrapped all my gifts. I am done fools, and with a week to spare.

Yuula and I did a mad rush around Jersey town yesterday with limited to moderate success. This morning I headed out solo and blazed across the Poconos crossed the last items off the list. But I wasn't alone in holiday spirit. I came home to this...

and some of this...

and then this of course...

And then guess who got to do the dishes?

But I didn't mind so much when I saw these puppies in the fridge.

Laura headed off to close her store and I put Yuula down for a nap to see if I could get any wrapping done. Turns out I could.

That's everything. Including the two nights we already spent wrapping stuff for Yuula, that may be a new record. I have a couple things comping in the mail that probably won't show up til a day or so before Christmas, if at all, but I can't be blamed for that, can I?

I can.

Doughing The Finish Line

Oh it is Christmas time. I know this because today the only thing we received in the mail was Christmas cards. Well, Christmas cards and disc 4 season 5 of Dexter. I'm assuming it'll be a slam-bang finish. May have to wait til after Christmas. But on with Christmas related news, I was left with the task finishing up the cookies today. namely the oatmeal, my favorite.



Laura made a double batch because she figured half of the dough would forgo the baking process and go directly in my belly and she would be right. But I got a lot made. Now the baking is done.



I gave Yuula first taste and despite the expression on her face she didn't have any complaints. Even took another one and laid on the floor to finish it off.



Silly freak.
