wishing I had finished college or nursing school or something-fucking anything, so that now that I am a pathetic middleaged divorced person I would have some great job to go to, to drown my self pitying bullshit sorrow

Right this minute I'm sounding way too enthused while singing the original Zelda game theme at work lol.

EDIT - Nothing to see here :)

Took two batches of cookies out of the oven and finished a pan of sugarplums. Damn I'm tired. And the kitchen is a mess.

All the Zelda games have wicked music, at least you don't have the Gerudo Valley song stuck in your head.

Until NOW...Thanks a BUNCH!!!


I'm really glad you're getting into the Christmas thing this year, I'm actually starting to get into it, too (which is rare for me)...We are going to make chocolate cookie men and shortbread men cuz we hate gingerbread :p...I may also attempt a chocolate or shortbread house :)

I'm a Christmas nut, and despite all the horrible things that seem to be piling up I figure keeping a positive attitude is key and will help people out. My positive attitude lasts from the end of October until Jan. 1st... then I revert back into an evil puppy. I LOVE good gingerbread, nice and tangy. These real sugarplums are something else... I don't think I like them very much but it's a good thing to say you've tried. Fennel, anise seed, caraway, and cardamom in a "dessert"!? It's anarchy. Also waiting on Murderdoll to send me bar mix, maybe someday. :)

fighting a fucking cold...getting ready to go out xmas shopping again...which is gonna be a mad-house seeing that they are predicting anywhere from 3 to 9 inches of snow tonight. :mad:

Just ate.
The girl is cooking anzac biscuits

Just got back from shopping.....forcast is now for 10 to 15 inches of snow...made sure to pick up some beer:D

I hope you start feeling better soon, Newb (Ugh, I HATE shopping)


I just had an awesome idea, and I can't wait to implement it.

As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to make a gingerbread house, but without gingerbread, so maybe chocolate or shortbread...Then I started thinking about how I would transport it to my mother's, because I could definitely see the sides falling down, and everything turning into a huge mess...So, while trying to figure out how to keep the sides standing, I thought maybe I could fill the inside with something solid, then just stick the sides on.

That spawned my completely new idea

I'm making a 3 layer, red velvet cake, with cream cheese icing between every layer...It will be red and white striped...I will cut it into a perfect cube, and add a cookie roof...I will decorate the entire thing in various chocolates (M&Ms, peppermint striped Hershey Kisses, and whatever else I think of)...The white icing will make the roof snowy, and it will droop over the eaves.

I will make Holly leaves with green icing, and holly berries with red mini M&Ms...I can't wait to do this!...I will definitely post a picture...Even if it ends up looking like a horrid mess :D


I will still be making the cookiemen, too
