Cookies & paychecks, cards & packages.

Today has been tasty! I went to church this morning with these (Swirled Surprise Cookies), and I came home with a huge cake plate FULL of all of these! So many yummies on one dish!

Our Parents at Home meeting this morning was nice and relaxed, and we all munched on extra cookies while chatting. It was our last meeting before the holiday break, and our next one will be a scrapbooking class on Jan. 5th. It's hard to believe we'll have already been home for our vacation and be back by that time - where do the days go?!

I went by work today. They called me a couple of weeks ago to let me know that I had a paycheck there. I knew it wouldn't be much, just my final travel expenses, and I just wasn't motivated to go there for such a tiny amount. Still, I knew that it probably bugged them to hang on to it forever, so I finally stopped and picked it up. From the moment I pulled in the parking lot, I felt like I had to gulp for air. It was awful having those feelings again. Hopefully now I won't ever have to go back again. It certainly wasn't worth the $2.79 check I picked up. :-/

I was cheered up by the mail when I came home today, though. We received six more Christmas cards in the mail today, including ones from mrs_picasso, tjoelyn and Janiece. Philip had to go out for more tape so I could put all of these up. He's also picking up some brown paper, and I'm going to wrap the boxes for our nieces and nephews up and get them in the mail in the morning. I actually was at the post office for a short time today (I needed to post a card to Singapore - a first for me [*winks at curledfries*]), and the lines were crazily long. I'll go while Jack's in preschool so that standing in line won't be a drag for him. ;-)

There are so many yummy ones that it's hard to decide what to nibble on!

Haha! Woohoo go Singapore!:D

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Yummy cookies.

(But really, couldn't that place have found a stamp?!! After all that happened to you there. UGH.)

(1 oz to Singapore = .80 Lines are crazy. I had to stand in one on Monday because I had some media mail things to drop off and we don't have a postage meter. So if it's over a lb I have to stand in line. Sigh. (I can use their self-serve machine for priority mail, but not for media mail.)

Yeah, I used the self-serve machine today. Didn't take too long, but there was a line of about four people waiting for it when I went in. The regular line must've had at least twenty people in line, though!

You are so domestic.

I'm going to take that as a compliment. I very often think the same about you. :-)

[saffirebleu.livejournal.com]

It was meant as a compliment. :)

Oh yum!

And...oh shoot. I just remembered that I had a little extra something I was going to send you along with your card, and I forgot! And now I can't find it. So when I come across it on my desk (hopefully), I'll spend the extra 37 cents and send it separately :P
