#1 Son - Christmas 2001

Word of the Day

Neonphancy - A fluorescent light bulb struggling to come to life.

I started decorating Christmas cookies yesterday...my brown sugar cookies. I'm not all that creative when it comes to decorating cookies...but I try. About the time I finished up the vanilla icing, my creative ideas ran out. I'd also run out of space to put the cookies while the icing dried long enough so that I could store them away in one of my cookie tins without the cookies gluing themselves together and making a mess. The frosting had set up enough by this morning but, I waited until this afternoon to open up the second tub of icing so I could finish up with decorating the rest of the brown sugar cookies. Still...I'm not all that creative. I didn't turn any of the Christmas tree cookies into bloody spear points. *sigh* I miss the bloody spear points that #1 Son used to make for me. I didn't make any aliens with green faces either....or frowny faces. *sigh* Maybe next year.
