mmm cookies and repotted plants

We had a good weekend, very productive. I made cookies and repotted the datura and parlour palm. Terence did the dishes and some laundry while I baked and gardened (good deal as far as I'm concerned lol, I enjoyed both of my tasks) I watered all the other plants except for the Ficus Benjamina. One thing I did forget to do was call Mom and let her know we weren't coming to town. I think she knows that now though, considering it's 8pm on sunday...

Terence and I are leveling Pld/Whm, just to 42 for me (for the teleports), and not sure how far for him maybe to 75, maybe not.

Sloppy Joe's, Marbles' Eye and present wrapping!

The sloppy joes were ok. Terence really liked them, I was impartial (but I'm not a big ground beef eater so...). I'll probably make them again though, just for him :)

Marbles' eye looks much better, I'm thinking maybe she'll be ok without a vet appt. I'll keep a close eye on it though. I think we'll seperate them for the christmas holidays when we go to Dryden. I don't need to come home to dead or maimed cats.

And now, it's present wrapping time! I might try to make some goodies as well, maybe some cookies (Terence's favourites) and cinnamon buns (cuz Daddy likes them oh so much).

Shopping and Cookies again lol

Some stuff I didn't get a chance to mention yesterday about my weekend. Walmart sucks for customer service and Ginger Sparkles are slippery after they are sugared heh. I went to walmart to find some presents. I was unable to find the stuff I wanted so I asked a rep if they could help me... Her exact words were "We don't do that here..." O. M. G!!!!!! I said so "I'm on my own then, I'll just have to look for it" She said, "You could try asking that guy over there" pointing at the other rep down the aisle. I'm thinking to myself, what a lazy little bitch! The rep down the aisle let me know that they don't track certain types of stock and are shipped crates of items with no real clue as to what specifics are on the crate, so he had just as much chance of finding it as I did. Which I thanked him for and told him that I understood. Why oh why did the first girl not tell me that!

As for the cookie adventure, we were making Ginger sparkles yesterday. First of all, make sure your margerine is cold if your going to sub it in for butter (it makes the cookies really liquidy if you don't). Secondly, after you get them rolled up into balls and sugarcoated, make sure you move the pan slowly and levelled. Them little suckers slide just as slick as snot (simile couresty of my mother lol)! We lost two cookies to the floor gods before we could react lmao. The sacrifice was worth it though, the rest of them were tasty.

Christmas tree and cookies!

I made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies last night while Terence had to work late. He was very happy to see the cookies when he got home :)

My methotrexate was pretty mild today. I didn't really feel any side effects at all I think. Yay for no yuckies!

I watered and misted the hibiscus, polka dot plants and the ficus alii today. I took some slips from the red polka dot plant for Kailee, we'll see how they grow. If they root, I'll cut some from the pink and white and maybe give it to her for christmas in a nice pot.

We decorated the tree and house today. Carmel's going to be a handful when it comes to the tree heh. She's already taken two of the ornaments and ran around the living room with them. I'm quite sure the tree will end up on it's side repeatedly but that's why I only have a 4 foot tree lol. I'm going to have to wrap some presents tomorrow, the tree looks bare without them underneath. I think this is going to be a good christmas this year :)

Here is the recipe I use for my cookies and my god, they're tasty! It's from www.cooking.com (where I get most of my recipes) http://www.cooking.com/recipes/static/recipe5856.htm Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies RECIPE INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cups (11.5 ounce package) Nestle Toll House Semisweet Chocolate Chunks 3/4 cup chopped cocktail peanuts

Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chunks and peanuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets; press down slightly.

Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Breakfast, Cookies and some kitty fun

We went for breakfast after Grizzy woke us up wanting out. Both of us ordered the exact same thing we always do lol. Truckers omelette for him, Egg Muffin with hashbrowns for me. I'm suprised the waitress didn't guess what we were having. After we picked up my prescription at the pharmacy, we came home and relaxed for a bit. For the afternoon, Terence sorted some DnD papers while I made Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I like it when he keeps me company while I cook. Hell, I just like his company :) I hope we can stop fighting soon, it's driving me batty. Life with no FFXI doesn't sit well with either of us I think, but it's for the best.

After supper, Terence and Mephit played with some string. He got the bright idea of running away with her string after she tried to drag it up onto the top of the fridge in an attempt to hide it. Back and forth from the bedroom to the kitchen, I thought I was going to pee my pants laughing at them run back and forth with a little red shoelace in between.
