Chritmas Cookies

Martha may be a little on the strange/crazy side, but she does make a good cookie.

Made Peanut Butter Surprise cookies -- you know, the ones with the PB cup in the peanut butter cookie? I made them in muffin cups. I have yet to try one, because sugar really hurts my teeth, but I will try one soon. I really should go to the dentist, but life is crap when you don't have dental insurance and you can't really afford to go otherwise -- that's about the only good thing about being a teacher -- you can get some sweet ass benefits if you are in the right school district -- like Josh and Kristine -- I don't think that they have to pay to go to the dentist at all.

Also made "Icebox Shortbread" cookies, with chocolate chips in them. Those are really good too. Crunchy and chocolatey. Yum. Finally, Gingerbread. Gingerbread cookies really only serve to remind me of the last year's Joy of Hasting Party, but that's okay. They smell good.

Started with the chritmas shopping season. Have already purchased 4 gifts and will probably go out again when we get paid again. The end of the month is ALWAYS a tight spot AND Jake's student loans came out of defferment. I don't think that's how you spell that. So, I have to make sure I have money to cover rent, student loan payments and the money that I give to my dad. Ugh.

I was accepted to the Master's Program for Accounting in Fall 2007, so I can start then on a good note. With everyone else.

Jake went up to GB tonight to hang out with Josh and get a haircut. He doesn't trust anyone down here to do it, so if he has an opportunity to go up there, he takes it. So, I'm really just sitting and watching football mainly. Cookies. Blogging. Hacking the Interweb.

There are 6 other kinds of cookies/bars that I will attempt to make this holiday season. I think that I will be successful. HA! Al Michaels just called "3rd and 2", "3rd and a deuce". Anyway, since we're not in EC EVERY weekend, like we were last year, since we were so close, it's easier to plan and make cookies on the weekends. I had a fabulous 4 day weekend and I'm sorry that it's over. It was nice just to have time. Sleep in and all that good stuff.

The PB Surpise cookies are good too. They need to be more Peanut buttery and the sugar coating on the cookies is a little much, but they are good. I think that regular PB cookies would be a little better. :)

Well, I think that was sufficiently random for the night. Talk at you again. Bye bye
