cookies with Luke
Dec. 22nd, 2003 09:11 amI had promised Carl and Sam that we'd go to Return of the King on Sunday night but didn't follow through and get a babysitter, so Mike took them, and I stayed home with Luke. It wasn't a big sacrafice - I'll get to see it, eventually, and I wanted to spend some time baking cookies, anyways.
So we baked the peanut butter cookies with chocolate kisses, and a chocolate cookie with Andes mints melted on the top. Luke licked the beaters, and helped me roll the cookies in sugar. They turned out very good. I like the Andes Mint cookies best; chewy wafers of chocolate mint.
I also neatened the house. It looks so nice now. That was my Christmas present to myself -- eight hours of paid housekeeping last week. We threw out three huge lawn-sized bags of clutter, and I bought a Rubbermaid storage drawer thingie for Luke's toys. Everything looks so nice, and it feels wonderful. We just did the downstairs. There's still the upstairs to do - mostly the guest room, it's a dumping place, and Luke's room, also a dumping place.
I worked for a litte while on chapter seven, too. I like what I have, so far. I know what I want to accomplish in the chapter, but not exactly how. Damn, I want this novel to be good. I want everyone to rave about it. (sigh) Setting myself up, I know.
