12 Days Til Christmas

 

So at this point it only took us 5 days to put our tree and decor up. How does that even work? Usually we are right on this from when we get the tree in. Well, i blame the lights in most part. We turned them all on, and like 75% of them didnt work once they were on the tree. When we checked on the wall, they were fine. Go figure. but hey, christmas in my apartment! and it smells awesome!

it seems like i keep getting busier and busier. i can't find time to do anything, let alone internet and bake and stuff. this is getting to be too many posts in a row without baking something. i am going to try my hardest to make something this week. after all, there are only 12 days until christmas. 

oh my goodness. i am having so many issues with my internet right now. i didnt have internet for a whole day because my router decided to reset itself or something.  of course, blogger has to act up as well. so, today's post is going to be short.

 

why a picture of a starbucks giftcard? on wednesday, i think, i drove all the way out to carousel/destiny to get a skylander for a customer. they forgot to send it, because thats just how that store is. anyway, after all that, the customer came in to see me on friday morning to give me this as a thank you. i will not complain, as i will always enjoy a hot chocolate or tea. so that was kind of nice. not many people do nice things like that for me, which makes it all the more special when someone does.

anyway, in other news, i have changed my treat list, since i am somewhat crippled, and need to try to relax a little. work doesnt exactly make that easy, but i suppose trying to slow down a little bit might.

so the new list this year:

salted caramel truffles

peppermint oreo truffles

hot cocoa mix

candy cane vodka

muddy buddies

just some simple things i guess. maybe the truffles arent easy easy, but i bet they will go with the hot chocolate. so will the alcohol.

with any luck, i want to try and start them this week. i mean, there is a week and a half left. i can prepare this stuff in advance easily. we have a christmas party at the restaurant on the 22nd, i would like to make a little pan of brownies if i can, and i am still dying for those peppermint mocha cupcakes. i want them so bad. i love peppermint chocolate. i am super obsessed right now.

anyway, i have a short shift at work tomorrow, doctors in the am, and a physical therapy appointment at some point. maybe i can make something if i am home long enough.

so i am going to finish watching elf, because i have only been waiting like a month to watch it after all of the internet references. i like smiling. smiling's my favorite.

happy week, all!
