In Cookies Up To My Ass

Today was a huge cookie bonanza at my house. When I say huge, I would estimate it to be at the 40 dozen range. There were 9 different kinds, plus 2 different kinds of candy. I'm so sick of cookies that I could puke. Really. There are so many different kinds, including oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal lace, Snickers cookies, sugar, shortbread, shortbread w/ white chocolate & craisins, gingersnaps, gooey butter cookies, coconut cookies with mini hershey kisses and M&M's, toffee candy, and coconut macroons made with eagle brand. We started backing around 10am. I'm done making cookies for the Christmas season. Really, I am.

Now, the not so nice part of cookie making. Chris's mom & his cousin came over to bake too. I should first tell you my cooking style. You know how clean most cooking shows have their workspaces when they are cooking? And you think, "damn, how did they get that so clean, cooking that?!" Well, that's how I cook. I'm the Martha Stewart/Food Network queen of cooking. I'm organized and efficient. I also must admit, I'm anal as shit. Bordering OCD type of anal. Chris's mom, not so much organized or efficient. All day, deep inside of my head, I've been freaking out and cleaning up messes. I can't even put into words how I felt. I can't handle disorganization. It makes me want to break things and scream. There were a few humorous moments though. Especially because Chris's cousin knows the extent of my kitchen analness and she kept cracking jokes and trying to keep Chris's mom in check. Even after all this disorganization today, I had a great time today.

Right after we were done making cookies, our friends Jason & Nicole came over and we went to see Journey to Bethlehem at Harvester Church. It was awesome! If you haven't been, I encourage you to go. It was such a well put together event and we had a great time!

I'm completely spent. I've been going non stop since 9am, on not very much sleep. Bed is calling for me. I can hear it chanting. Really. Or, I could be hallucinating from lack of sleep.
