Busy

This morning, I took Nick to work and bought some provisions to make Baked Ziti for dinner tomorrow night, when Katherine (and, I hope, Michael) will come for dinner before we get the tree.

Then I went down to Ulta and bought Katherine's gift, as well as an extra I'll either give her or Theresa.

Came home and started making cookie dough for chocolate chip crescents. I watched a favorite holiday movie, "Snow Globe," too. The cookie dough had to chill, so I went out again.

First, I stopped at the Salvation Army Store and dropped off some donations that have been taking room in the back of my car. This includes two cute stuffed animals that should make some kids happy at Christmas. They were a moose and a bear that are in excellent condition, but I just don't have room for them. Also gave a nice Christmas pillow and some Christmas fabric.

Swung around and hit Tuesday Morning, where I found some nice things I'm going to give Nick: shot glasses with gel inside so you can freeze them, mixers to go with rum and a bartender set. (Later, I ordered a bartender's guide for him.)

I got Megan a nice art set. Michael says to get her a gift card to a crafts store. I'll do that, but it's always nice to have something to open, as well.

I came home and made the cookies. They still need to be dipped in chocolate, which I will do tomorrow. But, of course, I had to taste one!

I've made several kinds of cookies this year, but haven't made cutout cookie dough yet. I'll probably do that Saturday!
