9 Days

I'm down to nine days until my trip. I'm really excited but at the same time I'm still nervous. I haven't been able to shake it. I know once we get moving I'll be fine--I'm always like this before we actually leave--but for now it's driving me crazy.

Today was a bad stomach day and that was bad enough, but then I was trying to talk to my brother and ended up arguing with him. Sooo not what I had in mind. So in addition to feeling like crap, I feel like emotional crap too.

So now I'm back to worrying about what I still need to get for my trip and when I'll have a chance to go shopping. I'll get my hair cut Friday and then we'll probably get the brakes changed on the car and do some shopping afterwards.


What's going on with you ladies?

Cookies for Two

Because sometimes, a girl just needs cookies.

And her hubby and kids don't. You know, because they're the reason we need cookies in the first place.

This recipe is called Chocolate Chip Cookies for Two but I prefer to think of them as cookies for one, mostly because I can make them at midnight and have the evidence completely cleaned up so no one ever knows. Mine turned out great. I used butter instead of shortening and a little extra cinnamon, which gave them a special little something. Because of the butter mine spread a little more than the ones in the pictures, but they're still soft in the middle and crisp on the edges and honestly, that's all that matters. I think these are my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies so far. Perfect quantity, great flavor, and superior texture.

I won't repeat the recipe here. It's really not necessary. Go visit the sources and check out some of the other recipes too.

Enjoy.
