12:25pm
Snow, snow, go away!
.
I got cookies zip bagged up this morning.
Still have many more to make.
.
I was working more on my printer this morning.
I got it to print better but there was quite
a battle with it. It put up a good fight and I
think it won. I removed the black ink cartridge
and it leaked everywhere on me, not on anything else!
I've got it all over both hands, a toe from where it dripped
and hit my sock and my right thigh from where it
dripped on my pants and went through to my skin.
Ruined my pants, grrr.
Now I'm stuck for awhile with black ink all over
me because it doesn't exactly wash off!!
So if anyone asks I'll tell them I have
frost bite on my fingers to freak them out, LOL!
Take a look, it's not a pretty sight!!!
I fought the printer, and the printer won!

-------------------------------------------------------
Found some gingerbread coffee-mate powdered
creamer in my baking stash.
I got to thinking about maybe adding some of that
to the Krusteaz Snickerdoodle cookie mixes.
-------------------------------------------------
3:30pm
The boys went to a birthday party.
Of course had to stop in Big Lots so
the kids didn't go without a present.
We didn't end up going to Tony's family reunion
which would have been today.
----------------------------------------
In The Bag that comes on your door
is a bunch of coupons for McDonalds
for buy 1 get 1 free sandwiches!
-------------------------------------------
With the snow comes all the wet clothing.
I dug out a quilt rack (a freebie I found)
and put it over a register and hung wet
clothes from.
---------------------------------------------------
6:55pm
Got all my laundry done.
I'm running a little behind with that.
Just got done making 26 Empanadas
with Nutella & nut filling dusted with powdered sugar.
I used a Krusteaz sugar cookie mix to make these.
I added an additional 1/2-3/4 cup flour
to the mix to make a stiffer dough.
.
-------------------------------------------
8:50pm
I made up 5 Christmas coffee mugs for gifts.
I just recently got all the mugs for free so that was a plus.
I put a packet of hot chocolate, a baggie of mini marshmallows
and a plastic spoon dipped in chocolate and covered in
sprinkles, in the mug. I'm also thinking about doing
a baggie of crushed up peppermints to add in there also.
These will go to 3 teachers, Tony's maintenance boss,
Tony's friend at work & mom/step-dad.
.
Tomorrow I plan to bake up some
cranberry chocolate chip cookies.
I cut up some dried cranberries.
Tonight I have them soaking in a bowl
with a little vanilla & almond extract to
plump them up.
Snow, snow, go away!
