Yawn.......so tired!!!!!
I went to bed at midnight last night, and here I am posting early in the morning
I got everything done yesterday, which makes me very happy!!!!
I was up so late last night, because I was baking my Toll House Pan Cookies, and then m&m cookies - yum!!!! After they were done baking, they had to sit and cool, so that's what kept me up the latest. While I was waiting for everything to cool, I started watching White Christmas - I've never seen it before. I didn't finish it, because I wanted to go to bed, but it's on DVR, so I'll have to finish it another time
Today will be busy too!!!!
I have many many manh chores to do around the house, go to work to give out Christmas bonuses, go to Jewel to pick up a birthday cake (
Mac - I'm stealing your birthday cake for Jesus tradition
), get the girls and I ready for church, be at church by 3pm, in-laws come home with us after church (around 6:30pm), eat, presents, wait for the kids to go to sleep, Santa comes, and hopefully I'll be in bed by midnight
This is always my longest day of the year.
How about you guys - what are your plans for today?????
geffric - I'm so glad Geoff was okay. We've had some really bad accidents around here - the roads are just treacherous!!!!!! I remember when I was a new driver - I was terrified of driving in the snow. My first snow as a driver, I had to drive my 15 year old co-worker home (he's now one of my best friends, and STephanie's Godfather) and he had to help guide my ways, because I was so nervous - we still laugh about that to this day
Geef - Happy Holidays to you too!!!!!
ID - Good luck with your potato casserole
I never knew white pepper existed
Let us know how it works with black pepper, and if it's easy to make, and it turns out well, please post the receipe.
Bunchkin - Do you make your Snickerdoodles from scratch, or do you have premade dough (I've only made them with premade dough)? If you make them from scratch, will you post a receipe, because I don't have one for those type of cookies.
Crissup, HERSEY, Donna and KimRaye -
Mac - I'm glad you got your shopping done!!!!
DG - OMGosh about the food poisioning!!!!
I'm glad you are on the mend, and I hope you are 100% better by Christmas
Well, I'm off to start this very happy and hectic day
Merry Christmas Eve to all, and Happy Hanukkah
geffric!!!!

As if I haven't been busy enough... i now am recovering from food poisening. Sunday night we ordered Chinese food. Mike and I both had different entrees and I had an egg roll. I got really REALLY sick within 2-3 hours. I stayed home from work yesterday knowing my boss would be upset but I could barely stand. This morning I was feeling a little better, able to get up and dressed and whatnot. Dad drove me to the train station so I wouldn't have to stand in the cold. Well, aobut half way downtown I started getting woosy again. Didn't think i was going to make it all the way to work but i did. by 10:15 though I was miserable. I actually had put my head on my desk b/c i was feeling so terrible. so i talk to my boss and decide to head back home. mike picked me up from the train and took me right to the doc... yup... food poisening. just what i wanted for Christmas!
something about trying to rush the recovery process doesn't help and that I will only make it worse by trying to do too much! soooo... alas I'm home all day. usually we go by mikes fam on christmas eve and my fam on christmas day. well, this year, we are doing both fams on xmas day. he's coming over here tonight and we are just going to hang out. my dad is staying home too b/c he's not really feeling up to going anywhere either. I need to go to Jewel to get my ingredients for my dishes I'm bringing to my sisters so i'll be doing that in a bit but otherwise... i'm resting. 
But I think I'm still doing better than last year.
