Fire!

Chris painted our fireplace front tonight with special fireplace paint. Considering our new front won't be here for a good 3-4 weeks, I think it's pretty nifty that he painted the old one. It actually looks good. It was antique brass, which goes with nothing in my house, but now it's black and blends in well. So, we finally built a fire and tonight was the first night that I was warm enough to feel my nose. Ha.

I'm tired. I could have gone to bed at 4pm but I couldn't. Work frowns upon naps. When I got home a bit ago, instead of sleeping, I started straightening up my house, I mixed up a batch of dough for a special cookie I'm making tomorrow, cleaned out and rearranged my baking cabinet, did laundry, and wrapped presents. It's amazing what you can get accomplished when you're not really thinking, you're just doing.

Tomorrow, Chris's mom and his cousin are coming over and we're going to bake cookies and do a cookie exchange. I went to the store tonight and bought 10 packages of chocolate chips, 6 boxes of butter, 3 bags of flour, and 2 bags of sugar. We'll be whipping up a shitload of cookies. Yum!

Did I mention I was tired? Me, out.
