Dec. 12th, 2008 10:04 pmI haven't commented here for a while, so I think it's probably time.
1) Managed to make chicken noodle soup tonight. It wasn't that hard. It was a pretty good recipe, too, so I'm pleased. Used whole wheat egg noodles so it's diet friendly, even. Go me. Even the boys liked it.
2) Finished all my classes. I don't have my grades yet, but I suspect I know what they are. We'll see, though. It was a good quarter. Now next week we get back to the gym and work on that over the break.
3) Trying to decide what Christmas cookies to make this year. Those in the running so far are whole-wheat oatmeal-cranberry cookies (they're mostly on my diet and will keep me from eating the rest, so hush), Mexican Chocolate-Pepper Cookies (OMG, to die for, but not for everyone), Snickerdoodles, Bizcochitos (anise-flavored Mexican Christmas cookies, designed to be had with red wine), English Ginger Cookies, Orange Liqueur Bars, and Tangerine-Coconut cookies. The Orange Liqueur bars would probably be the most expensive, since I don't have any Grand Marnier on hand, but I'm tempted regardless. Bizcochitos would be second because I don't have any anise seed -- but again, tempted anyway. The Chocolate pepper cookies are definitely happening. I'll probably make some of those and some of the snickerdoodles for our work gift exchange next week, a sort of naughty/nice pairing.
4) Havent' done a thing for Christmas yet. The boys are here on our current schedule with me for another week before spending Christmas week with their father. This is the first Christmas that I won't have the boys with me in a few years. I will see them the weekend after, and we'll have our gift exchange then. Just... still. Gotta focus on stuff to keep me busy Christmas week, then. I suspect I'll be going to the Christmas eve service at church, and that'll be very nice too. Have to see if my plans to watch Rome with Phil are still on.
5) Might be fighting off a headache tonight. That sucks. I'll have to go to bed before it gets very bad. Maybe that can stave it off.
