baking extravaganza - sort of..

Well, considering how much baking I really ever find time to do, this afternoon was a extravaganza of accomplishment. I think about it often but rarely manage anything other than a quick out of the box something. So today, went to church, lunch with Ashley and a quick stop to retrieve Gregs cell phone at the furniture store we were at yesterday.. he dropped it somewhere is all he knew- shopping or at movies???? For which, as Ashley and I were walking to the car after church I mention the loss, and she stops and says "hey, this store called yesterday that they had a cingular phone.. blah blah", she says "I told him no one here has lost a phone" cuz the truth is Greg rarely has it with him when we are trying to get ahold of him so she figured he couldn't have lost something he didn't take with him.... So he lucked out.

Ashley and i baked together for the first time in like "ages" since she has been in school fulltime and working fulltime, she's just usually not in the mood.. so after a batch of cookies and a pan of bars, she bailed and went back to reading her enthralling "twilight #3 of 4" where her nose has been planted since the semester ended. Now having given her two weeks notice to disneyland and not working weekends, she is very relaxed. I trudged on and made 6 dozen more, and will make the roll out cookies tomorrow after work... cuz I now too have bailed, and am relaxing on the couch with twelve dozen cookies overflowing my cookie jar. Brian will be happy.

The boys went snowboarding to the mountains at 4:30 this morning with 10 people.. came back having had a great time, great roads, and great weather. They ran into the Hyink's in the ticket line - Small world. The snow in the local mountains is awesome for total as they really got dumped on this week with 54" with all the rain down on the flatlands. So it will be a regular spot for them. Brian is planning on making a trip to Gorman on the way home from Christmas wknd in Madera with his dirt bike meeting a friend, and that will be a cold ride as they too have gotten some snow this week/cold...

Well, the tree is lit up, the baking permeating the air, and sunday night football is under way.. time to check out..
