for the past two days i have done almost nothing. no, i am not kidding, i really didn’t do anything of significance. with the exception of a trip to the grocery store and talking online, i did not leave the house or interact with any humans. i indulged in movie and tv show marathons, and since my house was clean and christmas decorations taken down from my mother coming over on friday (ah, mother-daughter cleaning bonding)… i took the opportunity to be lazy.
around 5 or 6pm, however, i realized that it was in fact sunday and i had not yet baked. i baked so much over the holidays and everyone is pretending to be on a diet, so i actually considered not baking. but then i remembered that i signed up my step father for my ‘cookie of the month’ club, which in reality did not exist until i was trying to think of what to add to his christmas gift. the man has just about everything and rather than buy another gift that he could easily buy himself i wanted to make him something. since i am not 5 a popsicle picture frame was out of the question, so i went with cookies. he loves cookies. SO- every month this year i will be mailing him a cookie of the month, the first batch going out tomorrow.

LOVING those cookies! Dark chocolate + raisins + oatmeal cookies = bliss. And the laziness sounds heavenly — good on you for taking some post-holiday time for yourself
