Our house is pretty dark — the clouds have gathered and its thundering outside (though still crazy humid). Bryan is out with friends and Jones is napping, so I decided to bask in our air-conditioning, have a little toddy, and bake myself some cookies. {We have a killer recipe that makes a TON of dough, so I freeze the leftovers in little balls for fresh cookies in 9 minutes!} Here are the little lovelies..
..and I’m eating the three of them — ALL three, just for ME! Because I live in a foreign country. And its hot outside (and inside). And I’m a mom to a busy toddler. And I’m studying Japanese. And I woke up this morning with a cold — in hot, humid weather.. {ick!} .. I usually go through this mental list pretty quickly when I’m wondering about whether I want to eat a treat or not. I think this is why one of the symptoms of culture shock is weight gain.
What are you doing today?
today it’s gracie birthday and she’s getting spoiled rotten! haha i just read dad this post and he laughed pretty hard. today i went to the church BBQ, napped, shopped, ate again, and now i’m reading people’s blog because i’m too pathetic to have one of my own. 😀 miss you! ♥
Tess is fussy today, so she has been jumping (happily) in the Johnny Jumper for the last 2 hours and 2 minutes. I’m not about to take her out. This is the only time she hasn’t been fussing all day.
