Sock glue and cookies

Wow, we had a busy day today. And I've been fairly content and happy all day too! Yay!

Last night, Ed and I worked out our budget for the next couple of weeks. Very grim. We won't be able to buy ourselves anything for christmas, unless we hit the credit cards. And he seriously needs a raise next year. Keep your fingers crossed for that to happen! It's a good thing we're not doing presents for the families this year, because we are broke. We are going to get small things for the four nieces ($20 max), my mom (since she doesn't have dad to give her anything), and Ed's dad (since it's his birthday). Everybody else? You're on your own!

Today, we woke up around 10ish, showered, and were out of here by 11. Stopped by dunkie donuts, then headed to Ed's mom's place, to move some wood for them, while stealing some for us. Left there, went to the grocery store, bought cookie supplies. Went home, put groceries away, stacked wood, and Ed started making turkey frame soup from Thanksgiving leftovers. Tomorrow we'll finish that and put on some ham, potatoes, and green beans in the crockpot to hopefully get us through most of the week. I'm telling you. We're broke!

Then it was cookie time! Wee! We made peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisins, chocolate chips, no bakes, black bottom cupcakes, and sugar cookies. Sometime I want to make the cornflake wreath cookies. I just wasn't able to find the red candy that goes on top. We shall see.

Now, all we have to do is put the cookies away. Ed's packed the majority of them up. Our sugar cookies didn't turn out too great. We were trying to be creative. Not the best idea.

I used sock glue to keep my warm winter socks up over my knees, because they're over the knee socks (OTK). Because my thighs are so freaking huge (unfortunately), I can never keep the long socks up. They always sag to become scrunched up knee highs. Boo, hiss. So I thought I'd try the sock glue, and dude! It works! It's over 12 hours later, and one sock is still up over my knee. The other one dropped about three hours ago when I was using the restroom and picking at the sock, so that's understandable. Sweet! Very happy girlie here, being able to wear her long socks way up high!

Next week is party week at work. Oh crap, I just remembered that I have to buy my secret pal a gift. Yikes. Gotta find something. And I like my secret pal, so I want to get her something nice.

I'm kind of hungry. We only had a gutbomb at dunkie donuts, a sandwich, and about 5 cookies, along with soda and coffee. I need to take my pills with food anyway, so I'll find something to snack on soon.
