Love Bug Baby Shower

Jax is going to be here soon so we threw Rachel a shower because it's not fair that around here people only give them for their first kid. So dumb!!

I made these MS cookies. Damn her!! Damn her all to hell! These took way too long but they were good. I think the consensus was the pink cookies were better than the chocolate ones. I agreed.

I did another stupid thing and made some heart shaped cookie cutters. That didn't go over well when making the chocolate cookies but they did OK for the pink dough because it was much softer. 

We ate a ton of cheese and drank a lot of soda. I tried to hide in the corner most of the time but that didn't work out very well. I don't mind throwing a party if I don't have to do the actual hostessing part.

 

It snowed.

Why am I out of breath? Because I just shoveled that clear walkway all by myself. Not sure I've ever done that before until now.

7 Things

1. I ate a grilled, blackened talapia taco this week and was left a little turned on. I know that's weird to hear, but I had to get that off of my chest.

2. I have to make cookies tonight and I can't garauntee they will live to see Saturday.

3. Coffee tasted heavenly this morning and I was so happy that I walked around my office and gave everyone a hug and kiss right on the mouth. Oh my God, I can't even pretend that is something I would do. Can you imagine? It would be funny though.

4. I finished a big project for my shop this week and I am so happy with myself. It was a lot of work and planning. I started the idea last year and finally pushed myself to finish it.

5. My mom this bean and ham hock meal that is seriously so good. I think about it every day.

6. I'm so full right now.

7. We made my mom's eclair cake last weekend and it went so fast. It's so. damn. good.

And the moral of this post is, I love food.
