Cookie Success

Final cookies will wait until Thursday (oatmeal raisin -- I bought the raisins lol and lemon bars).  I had lots of time yesterday - even with lunch and shopping.  I guess getting up at 4 am has advantages.

2 batches of my usual chocolate chip
1 batch of all butter chocolate chip
2 batches of peanut butter (last minute add-on)
and
1 batch of almond cookies GF

Not one lick of dough.  Yea ME.  I did have a few of the almond cookies before bed, but no more cheats.  I only make them at Christmas and I absolutely LOVE them!  One batch only so I'm not tempted to pig out.  The family likes them, but with other cookie choices they will stay mostly mine.  They are safely Food Saved and in the freezer.  See you at Christmas my lovelies.

Some baking days are better than others for me.  Yesterday was a "better" day.  All cookies PERFECTLY cooked.  I'm picky on the doneness of cookies.  Not too much, not too little, not uneven.  Not one dud in the day of baking.  That's why I added on cookies.  Can't waste good baking karma.

I thought I'd get up today and make the oatmeal raisin before the cleaning crew comes in, but I forgot I have a morning massage.  Poor me, right?!?!  90 minutes!  I can't wait.  Cookies can wait until later in the week.

I'll do a half cardio / half lifting workout.  Sore muscles - no problem that a massage won't fix.

Chloe might be meeting a new family tonight.  (Did I mention the other family passed on her ... "too big" ... whatever crazy people).

I guess the mail carrier systems are completely overloaded this year.  So many mis-delivered packages in our neighborhood and a number of non-deliveries for me.  The one package I needed this week has some "unexpected delay" at the post office.  What does that mean?  Ugh.  Fingers crossed.  I need it by Saturday.

Have a great day!  Later gators.
