A Canadian in America...

It's about time:)

Well, I'll just say my excuse for not posting in a week is because I've been damn busy. And I have been. Last weekend was spent babysitting/working/playing concerts/shopping. This week has been working/shopping/other things. I almost have my shopping done. I just have my sister's birthday present and a gift for my picky brother in law and then I'll be done. Oh wait, no, we still have to get a couple other things too. Dammit. I hate Christmas Shopping. Oh yes and so far this weekend has been babysitting/working/shopping. And tomorrow more concerts!!! Ugh.

In Better news, I won a raffle at work for turning in my questionaire, and I got a $25 gift card to Target. I get to buy myself a present!! Hooray!!!

I need to send out Christmas Cards. That requires me writing Christmas Cards. Dammit.
I made cookies yesterday! Mmmmm, Cookies. We went to a Christmas party so I decided to make my mommies Chocolate Chip Cookies, the best cookies in the world. Well, when SHE makes them, anyway. They're still yummy, but they never turn out as good as they are when mom makes them. Isn't that the way it always is though? And the bottoms got a little burned, either because they were too big and were in the oven too long, or because our oven is a gas oven so it cooks from the bottom up. For the second batch I made them smaller and moved the oven rack up and they turned out well. At least now I know what to do when I bake other things. We're having a cookie swap at work and I actually signed up for it so I'm gonna make the cookies for it. Yum.

By the way, nobody's Christmas presents are going to arrive on time. And Mom, your Christmas present might not arrive at all. It seems as though it might be being shipped to me instead of to you, but we'll see. It's unclear right now. We'll see who gets it!!! Who will win??? Hopefully you will!!! Maybe I should check and see if they updated the tracking on UPS.....hahahahaha:)
