Loopy and Wonky

Tish say Loopy. And Anne says Wonky. Great words I've never heard before. Do you have a favorite fun word?

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

I heard on the radio that the top things that 'say' "Christmas" to the surveyed group are the combination of Lit Candles, Smell of Cinnamon, and Christmas Carols. I wonder why cinnamon and not vanilla or pine needles or any number of things, really. There were about 10 combinations of things.

I've got most of my cookie makings here and I'll begin cooking something later today or this evening. Skyler and I always make cut-out sugar cookies at Christmas time. In Christmas tree, star, Santa, bell, candy cane, and other fun shapes. And hubby likes me to make chocolate chip cookies at Christmas. Don't really know why those kind, but I oblige. He got some heath bar chips to try this time. I always use real butter and real vanilla and add pecan chips to them so they're the best they can be. I may package some up for neighbors. We'll see how it goes. Getting hungry already now for something chocolate-y.

Great Expectations

Have you ever expected a specific Christmas gift but ended up getting something entirely different? One friend said when she was 8, she just knew she was getting an easy bake oven but woke to find a training bra and underwear instead. Hard for an 8 year old to show grace when opening up that present. I don't recall having that happen to myself.

test post! My easybakecoven.net domain, actually the your-site.com is experiencing problems, so I can't get into it at all this morning. Frustrating.... and the background and picture aren't showing up here because they're on easybakecoven.net, too. So I'm going to upload them to my AOL ftp and republish the template. Then I'll continue visiting you. After I get back from running errands. A leetle bit of shopping and running by the high school to take Skyler something she forgot.
