Earlier this week my neighbor invited me to a cookie exchange. It sounded like a good idea, bake 6 dozen cookies, and come home with 6 dozen different cookies, easy enough. I was baking coconut macaroons until 9:00 p.m. last night. I am so tired of cookies, and I’m pretty burned out on baking too. We go this afternoon, so I hope that James and Thade like the cookies that I come back with, but I don’t think that I can eat another cookie.

Thade and I went to the store yesterday to attempt to get his Christmas pictures taken, and grocery shopping for next week. The wait on pictures was 2 1/2 hours, and there were really grumpy people who barked in that they were next. I decided not to wait that long, and just go shopping. I’ll attempt the pictures next week. The store was crazy packed, and everyone was complaining about how busy it was. That’s the holiday shopping season for you.
