Christmas (Eve)^2

Merry Eve Squared to you all!

23rd! With only 2 days until Christmas! Or as Lambie has been putting it, only 2 sleeps left!

On the 11th day of Christmas a Trudy gave to you, extra 11:11 wishes :D, 10 added food pounds, 9 pomegranates, 8 hot cocoas, 7 mandarin oranges, 6 snuggly pillows, 5 kinder eggggs, 4 awesome nut trays, 3 French toast, 2 candy canes and a nice, warm, fuzzy toque! :3

So what did all y'all get up to yesterday?? I found myself baking a small herd of cookies! I made some crescent cookies (also called Mexican wedding cookies...), which are basically shortbread with either almonds or pecans and icing sugar on top. Tasty ;)

If you want a recipe...let me know :D

Then I made some cookies that I've been wanting to try for a while, I got it off of a blog called Bo's Bowl and if you want the recipe head over here. Basically, they're chocolate cookies made with cake mix...with a rolo inside! They are quite tasty but I found them difficult to gauge the time, though I do have a fairly crappy oven... They seemed way too soft but then it seemed as though they were in too long! I'm sure I'd have to experiment with them... Anyways, they taste delicious they're just a little crunchy ;). (PS...an 18.25oz box is equal to a 517 gram box here).

THEN I still had some Rolo's left over and I wanted to try something else! So I got a recipe from Paige (from Running Around Normal) for this simple but tasty treat! If you like sweet/salty together, then you'll probably like these :). They were especially good fresh! (When I made them, I didn't push them down that far...I did with a couple and I was like "Mess!". I forgot you're supposed to set them in the fridge) ;)

One annoying thing from all this.... you can't buy bags of Rolo here! I had to buy like 9 individual rolls of Rolo! (Don't hurt me Rolo...I still love you <3).

So that was my last nights adventures! It took a while...but hopefully it's worth it. Cookies for everyone!

Can't wait to head down to Lethbridge tonight :D! Happy travels everyone! (Or happy stay homesies as well...).

Toodles for meow :)!

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- Did you ever do that? Look at the clock exactly at 11:11 and you get to make a wish?? I never did actually...I always said "11:11 someone's thinking of me!". I don't remember who/where I learned it from...but I still do it today :D

Weekend has rolled around again

Motivation to do a blog? Very very low. Chance that I'm actually going to follow through and finish and post this? High. If I set my mind to it - I'll do it, so here goes...

My favorite day of the week - Friday :D The last day of work, the possibilities of an exciting weekend, and just a small sense of accomplishment for getting through yet ANOTHER week of the regular life. Is there a way to make every day 'extraordinary'? Well probably, just take a look at the word...ordinary with extra added in. So it's just about finding one thing every day to just make it a little something 'extra', whether it be going to the gym, reading, watching a show, relaxing, bubble bath, or whatever! But I think it's fairly important to do a little something every day just to make it that much better! Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. Keep that in mind... haha.

So, lately people have been coming over to my place on the weekend. And, as far as I can tell anyways, people seem to quite enjoy it. I can usually get a pretty good little crowd of people (and by good of course I mean fantastic - clearly if I'm friends with them they're awesome [: haha) who get along well and can have a fun time together. Not to mention I've either had brownies or cookies everytime... haha, that probably helps make things a little better ;) And I freeze grapes **SIDE NOTE** Have you tried frozen grapes? They're kind of amazing... it makes grapes just that much better (unless you don't like frozen things?) TRY EM! **RETURN ** and provide other snacks and cut of carrots and celery and yes... If people are going to keep coming, they're going to have to start bringing their own contributions. I can't pay to feed all these folk all the time D: So this will need to be sorted out if it keeps happening...

Other than that - standard. Work, gym, home, eat, shower, read, bed. (Really that's pretty much it). But that's ok, I enjoy the standard day :)

A NOTEWORTHY SIDE NOTE** - It looks as though spring just MIGHT be here. So help me if it gets really cold again now...I'll probably cry (kid you not). Summer is my favorite time, so Spring being here would be simply fantastic! It's not really all that warm out, but it is above zero...most of the snow is melting away and most importantly - THE SUN IS SHINING :D YAY!
And if it's spring time...I can go get my Geo again ;) I've been missing her and she's much better on gas, and much smaller and yes :)

OH! And Happy St. Patty's to all y'all! Hope it was splendid - anyone do anything exciting? I just went to the gym, got groceries and went home...oh the festivities~! Haha. I was just looking back at my post from a year ago...and my feelings for St. Pat's still haven't changed. And green is still my favorite color :D I just don't like seeing it everywhere. And yes, this is green because of my love for green... sorry Nan, hope your eyes are alright ;)

Anyways, I believe that is it...to my sister 'Lambie' I send you a caw! ;3

A couple of songs that I want to leave you with is On The Floor -->
annnddddd Just Can't Get Enough :)
Let me know what you think of them~!

ALSO - anyone have any absolutely amazing cookie recipes?? Let me know, I enjoy trying new ones :)

Ciao for meow :)! (Or should I say top of the mornin' -.- lame I know)

RANDOM FACT ABOUT ME -- I'm slightly competitive...not in all things, but some. At FHE on monday... afterwards some people were playing football/catch/jackpot, and well I'll just say some people were surprised at how competitive I was haha. I was definitely shoving and jumping and lunging and yes. Surprise everyone? haha. I'm a lady I am!
