Important teacher's notes:

There will be no school tomorrow. Class will resume on Thursday.

If you want to be on the WFTD Ping List, please let me know. I will be taking names all week and adding them to my new list. I scrapped the old list because of concerns raised on a thread about people be adding to lists without asking to be. Thank you for understanding.

And now for today's word....

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

[SCalGal]

Anything that holds still long enough for me to pop it into the oven. LOL, it's a good thing the dogs get active in the cold weather.

[Gabz]

Ham here as well - I picked mine up last week!!!! The only major cooking I will do is augratin potatoes.

Minimum of muss and fuss.

I just chased hubby out of the house - maybe now I can do something with out his ever prying eyes and presence.

Sheesh what is it with men????

he actually looked me straight in the eye this morning and said - "If you want to get me something for christmas, I really need a new wallet."

My response was that he is the notorious Christmas eve shopper, not I - except for one other item for his sister, I finished last week.

Different colored frostings on top of the same store bought dog biscuits do not count as nine different kinds of cookies <!;)

[xsmommy]

oh xshub is last minute also. whatever ebay item he is waiting for, i am sure was not ordered til last week. i don't really care, it really is the thought that counts.

[doubled]

WHOOPS on Me! That was in response to your baking prowess. I didn't preview too well. It just goes to show what happens when I assume I know what I am doing.

[xsmommy]

harrumph to you doubled! xspup is getting a stocking, even though he doesn't deserve it, and he will get chewies in it.

my cookies are:peanutbutter kiss cookies; almond crescents; choc chip; magic cookie bars; mocha cookies dipped in chocolate; spritz; choc thumbprints; walnut honey snowball thingies and filled choc cookies rolled in candy canes. SO THERE!

[Gabz]
