Baking
After weeks of taste testing and practice batches I've narrowed down my selections for this years Christmas Cookies. I spent the better part of the weekend in the kitchen.
Here is a sneak peek:
Sports
I watched Federer play Davydenko Saturday morning. I don't know terminology that used in tennis. I have just figured out that a set is called a set and is not called a period or an inning. And what is the love about??
My dad would wear his Riders jersey to church on the Sundays that the Riders were playing a game. And so, in memory of my dad I wore my 2007 Grey Cup Championship T-shirt while I did my baking on Sunday. It's probably the closest I'll ever become to being a fan of football.
I guess it was a pretty disappointing weekend if you are a fan of Federer or the Riders. Lucky for me my ignorance is my bliss.
Horoscope
I don't really look at my horoscope, but my coworker read mine to me today and I thought it was fitting:
Gemini: Making lemonade from lemons is too passe for you. You'll turn your lemons into something more exciting -- a flaming sorbet or a fancy pie. With a twist and a flourish, you create magic and entertainment.
Christmas
Mandatory gift giving and rampant commercialization makes me want to not give gifts this year. Can't I just bake and cook for everyone?

Your pictures are amazing Becky!! And I'm loving your blog :)
ReplyDeletep.s. your last comment about Christmas were the exact words I have been looking for! "Mandatory gift giving and rampant commercialization" drives me nuts! My brother & his wife actually give out an official "list" of their wants including the stores to buy them at & the price.
WHat about the thought? Where is the thought in that?? ahhh....I'm inspired to post!!
Thanks for reading Carmen. I love comments . . . especially ones that say "loving my blog" and "pictures are amazing"!
ReplyDeleteI used to be one of those people who "helpfully" created lists for my family to shop from. This year feels different for me though. I don't want to shop and I don't really want anything, although I'll graciously accept any gifts I receive!
