The Yule Log

Merry Christmas to my family I won't see this year. I miss you and am thinking of you.

Remember watching the Yule Log on TV20? I got a DVD of it for Christmas :)

So, want to hear what a nutbag I am? OK. I woke up this morning at 6am and decided I needed to bake some cookies. My cubemate at work loves the peanut butter ones with the chocolate kiss in the center and since she's always doing such nice things for me, I decided I should bake her some cookies. In addition, I can take some to Dad's Christmas Eve festivities this evening as he is a peanut butter fan too. I have all the ingredients and some how in my head think this will only take me, what, a half an hour? Yeah, half an hour. Keep in mind I do have to work today, but it's a short day. So the first batch comes along easy enough, but it's already 6:45 and I haven't even had a chance to put some coffee on. I better step on it. Someone not half asleep could have probably done the math better than me, but figure 10 minutes per batch in the oven, 4 batches = 40 minutes + prep time.

Somehow I didn't get done until 7:30!! I still have crunchy sleepness in my eyes and I should be on my way to work! Ha. So I throw on some clothes, brush my teeth, wash the sleep out of my eyes and straighten out my bangs. Off I go.

Is it Murphy's Law? that whenever I'm late for something I have forgotten I need to get gas? So I must stop for gas (only $1.84 gal for Premium!, cheap) but I make it to work by 8:20, not too bad. And "I'm not even supposed to be here today". I'm working because it's only a 6 hr day and because I missed Monday with my typhoid fever. I'm all beter by the way. And the cookies turned out beautifully.

Merry Christmas !!
