Addictive Cookies

Really, honestly, I am not a sweet person for the most part. I don't really eat candy, and I can't eat straight chocolate, and I really usually do not like cookies.

And then I had one of these:



And it was soo good. It's not like you can eat just one. You eat one and then it doesn't even really settle in that it was REALLY GOOD until your done with it...so then you eat another...and another...and another until you have eaten 8 of the 10 cookies.



I don't know what it is...it's like they're laced with some sort of addictive drug or something. I literally can not get ENOUGH! I think it must be like what Chocolate is to some Women.

Please tell me I am not the only one.

Twilight

Merry Halloween To Me!

Wow. I am so excited today. After I did my chores I decided to go out and just "look" and see if I could find something cool I couldn't live without. And geuss what? I DID!

First I went in this Halloween Bootique. I thought it was going to have all kinds of cute Halloween decorations and maybe some costumes, etc...Nope-skanky Halloween outfits. Well, no thank you--I don't think that's going to work out for the ward trunk-or-treat. So I go next door and there IT is. A quite large Apothecary Jar...it gets better...for $12 bucks!!! WHAT? Okay, MUST HAVE. Well then I start feeling guilty because then i'm going to have to buy some sort of thing to put in it and that's going to cost, but then I had a cheap idea and voila-here she is:

It's okay you can hate me.

I'm already imagining all the things that I can put in there. She will be a seasonal decoration...

So then I was feeling so good about myself I ate the last 2 cookies:

I feel accomplished.

Oh, and I wanted to show you my updated door mistreatment. It looks 10 times better if I do say so myslef.

It's A Soup Day!

Today was looking cold and dark out there. A girl at work told me it's supposed to snow Friday and so when I got hungry I decided to make a big pot of soup (plus the house was freezing and I didn't want to turn the heat on yet!). Now, you should know that soup is the only thing I actually enjoy making. I will cook, but usually it is only because I have to.

Chicken Tortila Soup. Yummy!

So I must admit, I actually am slightly excited for fall & winter...just so I can enjoy cooking again!

P.S. There were a couple of you who asked for the recipe...Laura let me contribute to her recipe blog and I put it up there: Pass the Salt

Utah, School Project, Dogs, Costco

So this last weekend we took a little trip down to Utah to see Jon's dad (he just got back from Iraq). While we were there, Jon's sister, Holly, had to do a class project and she enlisted our help. The project was to do something out of the ordinary in a public place. It was for her sociology class and so whatever you do is supposed to elicit some sort of response from other people--it has to be interesting. --Sidenote: I never had any school projects like this! What's up with that?-- Anyways, her idea was to go to a parking lot and yell: "look, a UFO!"
Well then Stephanie has the idea that we should make tin foil hats like in the movie Signs. And to save you from a long drawn out story, it was a good time. I have a hard time keeping a straight face so I was laughing the entire time, but it was still good.

While we were there Jon and his dad gave the dogs a bath which was long overdue. They're already filthy again, but oh well, what are you going to do? They're dogs.

P.S. Yesterday at work they had some reps from COSTCO come and get us signed up for memberships...I AM SO EXCITED FOR COSTCO!! Let the countdown begin!
