My other Thirteens |
1. I don’t have a Christmas wish list. I don’t need anything, and I don’t want for anything, either. No one sells replacement body parts, so I guess I’m outta luck this year.
2. I am still working on my Christmas cards.
3. I still have homemade dough ornaments to paint and put together, and ship.
4. I would like to finish Joey’s underpainting this week, and I’m not sure when I’m going to have the chance.
5. I would have liked to finish reading all of the TT’ers from last week, too. I’m sorry that didn’t happen – I tried. I will continue to try every week, that I can promise!
6. I’ve had horrible dreams this week, I attribute it to the sinusitis. I keep waking up crying, or tossing and turning in fear and worry. Then I can’t breathe right for the rest of the night. Blech.
7. I have several more gifties to go, and Saturday looks like it’s THE DAY. THE DAY to get every single thing we’re getting. All in one day. That’s the way to do it! (Except I snuck in some stuff the last few times I ran errands. heh.)
8. Our baby girl (not such a baby anymore) was recommended and accepted into the TEC Program (TEC = Thinking, Enrichment, Challenge) ’cause she’s a smarty pants. Just ask her.
9. My favorite spoil-me-rotten cookies are Pepperidge Farm Raspberry and/or Orange Milano’s. Did you ever notice that a Milano is shaped like and is the same size as the average tongue? “The easier to eat you with, m’dear!” That’s what I’m sayin’.
11. Hubby is home now for the Holidays! WOOHOO!
12. I hope to get to the Church to finish up that mural before Christmas, too. Now that Hubby is around, I just might get caught up on things!
13. I gotta make more cookies. What’s your all time favorite Christmas Cookie, hands down?

This was my first time trying the 13, it’s fun 🙂 My favorite Christmas cookie, hands down, are molasses cookies. I don’t know if they’re a Christmas cookie or not, but I love them! :lovestruck:
Glad to hear that hubby is home! I’ll bet you’re proud to have such a smart daughter, huh? My favorite cookie would be anything with carmel and pecans (I’m drooling!). Here are my 13
I’m mom to a smartypants girl, too. It has its pros & cons! :giggle:

Hey, making snowmen is fun, no matter how old you are! Yay for you. I hope you get your christmas shopping done! Good luck!
:gloomy:
I’m a day late, I’m sorry.
Read my thirteen for why, my Thursday was a real BUMMER…
But the shopping is done.
Cindi :bawling:
That is seriously the BEST snowman I’ve ever seen! But of course, coming from an artist, right?
Congratulations on your little smarty-pants.
I’ve got my 13 up! Sinusitis is miserable, I don’t have dreams with it, but just having it is a nightmare in itself.
Sorry it’s taken me so long to comment. This is not a good time of year to get sick and still have to go to work. OK, never mind that. My all-time favorite Christmas cookie is one my grandmother used to make. We called them Carpet Cookies. There’s a recipe is from the old (very old) Spritz cookie press cookbooklet. They’re called something like Ginger Spice cookies (I don’t even know the actual name). You use the flat bar thing to press the dough onto the cookie sheet in long strips. When they come out of the oven and are still hot and soft you cut them into cookie-sized pieces. When they’re cool you spread thin lemon frosting on the bottom of one and add another cookie to make a sandwich. I named them Carpet Cookies when I was living with my grandparents the year I was two. She was pressing them out and I said, “Oh, look Gram, they look just like little carpets.” Anyway, if anyone who reads this has one of those little recipe books and wants to send me the recipe, I’d be eternally grateful. I really miss those cookies.
Hello Leanne!
I completely forgot to come here and tell you I indulged in the Thursday Thirteen again. It’s becoming a habit.
Merry & Happy,
Cin
