Cookie baking is underway. Each of my people get a pick of a cookie and then I also make a bar cookie (or two, if I have time). Peanut butter (eldest's fiancé), oatmeal raisin (youngest, seriously who picks this??) and chocolate chip (both hubby and eldest so I make A LOT).
Classic, basic and EASY. They can choose any kind and I LOVE that they pick the one step, easy kind LOL!
PB and oatmeal are finished and in the freezer. Chocolate chip dough is made and baking is already underway this morning. I'm trying to have most finished before the cleaning crew today.
I'm trying to get ahead of my to-do list a bit in case I get sick - so many colds, bugs, etc floating around.
Remember the forgotten gift?? Amazon Prime to the rescue. Oprah's favorite things list. It's a purse/tote insert for travel. It has a light on the inside and organizes all the travel/purse stuff from makeup to cords. Winner. Mailed with gift bag directly to her. You can never have enough travel organizers. I saw fluffy mittens on this list and I fell in love until I saw the price - $75 - wow. Never mind, Santa.
Boxing yesterday was changed to a kickboxing class with another instructor. He was fun, but I had enough of round-house kicks to last a lifetime. I switched my kicks in the end - my poor hips. My quad is bugging me so a boxing upper body class seemed good - it was mostly legs though. Ugh. It's pouring rain today so I guess I'm hitting the treadmill for a slow run if my leg feels okay.
The BEST news is I am actually finished with my Christmas shopping - for real this time. Yesterday we hit up Costco and I got the ribs for Christmas Eve so grocery shopping will be in the regular store. My son and I spent the entire afternoon running errands and getting crap DONE!! It feels good.
After I finish baking and workout, the entire day is an office day. Pay bills, wrap gifts, make Releash calls. Wrapping gifts hurts my back (so does baking). Best to do it in stages. Any little bit I can get done ahead makes a big difference on "wrapping day." If I have a few minutes, I run upstairs and wrap a gift. I can't tell you how much that helps. Seems strange, but my back thanks me!!
I'm struggling to rotate writing, baking and taking care of dogs . Best focus on my cookies (and my dogs). Have a great day! Later gators.
