My kitchen counter looks like this right now.



It's my big baking weekend and so far I have made fudge, chocolate haystacks, shortbread, and the first layer of my salted caramel chocolate shortbread bars. I still have peanut butter balls and three types of cookies to do tomorrow and Monday.

This is awesome!  I've been baking one or two things a night all week.  I still have to finish sugar cookies and pop tarts, and then by Christmas I have to make focaccia bread, peanut butter jelly bars, caramel brownies, and Nutella cookies too.  The amount of butter I've used is obscene.

I followed this recipe:

They're kind of a pain to assemble but you will impress your friends.  Lol.

I'm totally borrowing from the recipe Koosh linked and putting icing and sugar sparkles on them too!

Butting in to your convo to say that I am making this trip to Buffalo this coming week, too.  6+ hours in the car for us, too.  

Are you going to Buffalo proper, or a town around? This is our first year flying in instead of driving from FL. YAYYYY no 15 hr drive! lol

My parents live in Orchard Park, so we're headed to the southtowns :-)
It's always weather dependent, so I usually decide when to leave at the last-minute! Good luck with your flight!

H is sick with pneumonia and is a total weenie about it. I am being a horrible Step Mom and letting SD play with her new Kindle fire, and napping on and off since Mr Weenie Woke me up for everything last night, water, Tylenol, extra blanket.

We ventured or for Christmas lunch today with H's grandparents and son the f-ing dog ate the box of wrapped chocolate covered cherries and lindt truffles for my dad- (they have been wrapped for 2 weeks) and then puked it all over the carpet (why always on the carpet?) Which I got the joy of cleaning and it's our Xmas tomorrow

I have always had small boobs. My pre-pregnancy boobs were an AA cup. They didn't look like they changed all that much but I got sized at Nordstroms and walked out with two 36 C bras. I've been walking around all day saying "excuse me DH, could you scoot over? I can't get through here with my GINORMOUS boobs."

idoinjuly I'm so sorry. I would be totally devastated if someone even mentioned my weight gain, let alone be that hateful about it:( you should see a fly on his nuts at Christmas and kick it off. Dickwipe.

My 3 month old has the most wretched old man farts. I mean, seriously foul. And they hang around for a while.

I'm watching millionaire matchmaker for the first time this season and am wondering what happened to the guy and his wife (I'm terrible with names) that used to assist her?

This is freaking adorable in conjunction with your sig pic.

Thanks peeps, for the kind words.

Ugh. OMG. I'm so sorry. I saw your FB post and think you looked absolutely beautiful. And you are so gorgeous, I know I tell you that all the time but I guess that's not the point. He was so out of line, I just can't imagine saying that to someone. I don't even know what I'd say in that situation. 

Thank you so much eb.

In the past 96 hours, Mr Cville has built a workbench for his woodworking, baked cookies, built a computer from parts, let me go back to sleep at 7 when O woke up, and done the grocery shopping.

I really love that man.

Next time I get married, it'll be to mrville.  Or someone like him.  Does he have a brother? Is he not an artist?

I can't believe I married him the first time. I had seriously awful taste in men until him like 90% of the time. He's so creative, but not talented in the visual arts (at all). He had to leave me something to bring to the relationship.

No brother, just a sister.

I mean Santa, a hippie? Santa would never smoke pot. I mean really could you really envision a Santa that used any substances? Like a wine drinking Santa, or a cigar smoking Santa. A little Bailey's in that hot cocoa. I don't think so. Also, he has all those tiny indentured servants. I mean how did that arrangement come about? Poker winnings? And I mean how is that even politically correct in this day and age? Some old, white guy is the boss of a village of little people.

I bet he does smoke along his travels. How else does he polish off all those cookies? MUNCHIES!

Excellent point.

And for some reason, I can totally see Santa smoking a cigar. Maybe after he smokes a big fatty.

Thank you again berbles . I made this this afternoon with the fabric you sent for SS. It was nice to sew something I wanted to instead of because I had to.

It's so cute!!

I just googled Santa Claus criticism. Don't do that. I thought I was Santa crazy. Whoa. The internets has some people who are a lot too fixated on Santa. And yes this might be a case of the kettle calling the pot black. Whatevs.

[Deleted]

Oops I forgot that Santa was a smoker. www.prlog.org/12244479-santa-carries-on-in-spite-of-harsh-criticism.html

Still a high Santa seems a little far-fetched. Lol.
