My oven was going at 7:15 Friday morning to get
all of the cookies baked, and it stayed on until 10:30 AM.

Michael ran to the store, and then became my
sous chef doing whatever I needed to get done…..you know….I totally got the
best end of this deal….he is an angel and I am CRAZY!!!! And he not only puts up with….but helps me
with my craziness!!! Anyway, then I put
together the mulled cider and did 3 runs of homemade Bailey’s. By the time I put out the plates, napkins and
tablecloth I had 10 minutes to wash my face and comb my hair before everyone
arrived (good thing I took my shower before I started baking!!). There was SO MUCH GOOD
FOOD!!!

A few people stayed late
and we just sat and relaxed and talked for 1/2 an hour and that was great. Michael came upstairs after that, and by the
time we got done talking, it was time to go to the heart doc’s for a routine
follow up. We were home by 5 PM and
Michael watched a bit of golf while I headed downstairs to sew. I only sewed for a bit (I was pooped) before
heading upstairs to have a snack and then to to read my book for an hour or
so. We both watched our shows in the
evening before bed.
I enjoy your CRAZINESS!! You are one-der-ful!!!
