Fourth of July Cookies.... and a funny.

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!

This one is for Nky....

I remember when I heard my first gun shot.  

Like real gun shot- not the movies or fake ones.

I was at my first 'real' job in a bad neighborhood.

I heard a 'pop' and I instinctively dove under my desk. 

My boss thought that I was nuts.

No one else even batted an eye at the gun shot. 

Sadly, I too became immune to the sound.

I heard lots of 'pops', 'ratatatats' and 'popopopop' noises while I worked there.  

Sooooooo...

There is no easy way to transition from gun shots to cookies.

Here we go...

I made cookies.  

Not for me.

Rather- for a bake sale at work.

Phew- transition done. 

They have their usual imperfections.  

But, they did make a pretty plate of cookies. 

If I have the energy, I may try to make up another batch before the actual holiday.

Happy Fourth Everyone.  

I hope that there is lots of burgers, fireworks and sweets to fill your weekend!

Smiles,
Marci

There's correct and there is incorrect.....

How to correctly eat a peep......

Yes. There is a correct and incorrect way to eat a peep.

My scientific and well researched methods only apply to the bunny variety...

Don't get me started on the chick variety.

A sadist must have created them.

There is just not a good way to eat the chick peeps.

But the bunny ones... 

I have you covered.

Let's get started.

First bite the ears.

Chew and enjoy.

The slight sweet crackle from the sugar should be hitting your taste buds now. 

Next bite the body part of the bunny. 

Just think of him like a snow man with three parts.

Only a snowman never tasted this good.

Lastly, pop the last piece of bunny peep into your mouth.

Savor.

Enjoy.

And repeat 11 more times until you realize you consumed the entire package of peeps.

In one sitting.

In three minutes.

Hope you all are enjoying Spring.

Ohio is not. 

I am still waiting for it to come.  

Smiles, 

Marci

Random Things

I am writing this as a storm is passing through.  

A very bad storm.

The kind that makes you say things like...

There is no place like home...

There is no place like home...

There is no place like home....

Only minus the sparkly shoes and plus one sock with a hole in it...

I thought about hiding in the basement..

Sirens tend to do that..

But, when I saw the giant spider web collecting in the corner of the laundry room.

I changed my mind.

I realized a few things these past few weeks.

I have been a little bit stressed...

No, a lot stressed.

So stressed... that I have stopped baking..

Wait!  That's right.

There is a baking- stress threshold.

Usually, baking is a stress reliever....

Unless..

You are so stressed that all you can do is come home..

wash your face, brush your teeth.

and fall into bed...

and even with ten hours of sleep..

you wake up feeling like you had three...

But, I hope the end is in sight..

If not..

I am going to need cookie reinforcements...

Pronto..

So instead of lovely baked goods...

I am bringing you smiles.

Cause everyone needs smiles.

Cat logic is so true... 

I have most definitely not been keeping up on my veggies...

Surely string cheese and pretzels count as a healthy dinner somewhere....

Butter... enough said.

I need this chair.

Because my couch told me it needs a break.

I hope it doesn't want to break up with me...

I might cry..

and then buy this chair....

And lastly, I need this....

Not sure why since I just admitted eating string cheese and pretzels for dinner..

But, surely if I had this all would be better....

Smiles and have a great week everyone!
