Yesterday’s cookie making didn’t go so great. They certainly aren’t good enough to give to anyone. (I know, I know… I’m so type A it’s not even funny.) Seems that the shortcut of buying store bought dough then rolling it out and using cookie cutters doesn’t work so great. The cookies spread out so big, they lost their shape!!! So much for shortcuts. I’m not sure I’m going to have time to do the “real deal” today with everything else on my plate. Plus, to be honest, baking isn’t really my *thing*. I much prefer eating. Eating is definetely my thing.

We finally closed on the refinancing last night on our house in Florida. This has been going on for so long. I didn’t think it was ever going to happen. It started over 18 months ago when we were about to close and then my husband got laid off 2 days before closing and they yanked the loan. Then they came last week and there was an error and I stopped the closing to make them fix it. And those are just the “big snafus”. I was beginning to think it would never happen. We just kept trying, over and over until it worked. Persistent. That’s me. Gimme a cookie.

I’m debating on taking to see the kids to see Polar Express on Imax. But I get motion sick very easily… and I hate parking in Seattle. So I dunno. Imax would be more memory invoking though, wouldn’t it? (that’s rhetorical.) But how great would the memory be if I’m having to close my eyes when that train is barreling down the mountainside in full blown 3D!?!!

On today’s to do list is:
Buy batteries for all the Christmas Stuff
Look up what size batteries Geotrax takes. (anyone?)
Pay Bills (always fun).
Finish laundry. (finish is a euphemism, trust me on this)
Find a leather Ipod holder and inear headphones.
Buy some wine to gift tonight because our stash is low.
Polar Express (to Imax or not to Imax that is the question).
Make the kids clean their freakin’ rooms and the playroom.
Work on the school stuff I didn’t do with Emma and Dinara yesterday.
Place HoneyBaked Ham Store order for Christmas Eve.

Ok… gotta go be productive. Tis the Season!! Have a great day everyone!
