Well … I ended up making 2 batches of cookies. That gave me a total of 101 peanut butter blossoms (2 batches of just over 4 dozen each). And can you believe that I only ate 1? I had to make sure they were edible. I’ve got an ice cream pail almost overflowing with the cookies up in my freezer. I’ll probably make one more batch at least so I have some to take to work to bribe people on the Christmas decorating contest. I gotta do something … I haven’t decorated yet … LOL. I plan on getting a few things on Friday or maybe I’ll venture out on Saturday. But I’m not gonna spend a lot of money just to decorate my desk. I’ll either get stuff at the Family Dollar Store or at Big Lots …

I got most of my Christmas cards written out too. I only had 14 stamps, so I can only mail that many. I’ll probably write out the rest and then get stamps after work tomorrow if I have time before my Christmas party for work. At least I don’t have to go very far for it. It’s at a hotel only a few blocks from my apartment.

I’d better get my butt in gear. I haven’t even started my baking yet or written out any Christmas cards. But that’s gonna change tonite. I’m gonna make a batch of peanut butter blossoms tonite … I’ll make more if they go quick. I’m also gonna write up some cards too. I took Friday afternoon off from work so I could get some more baking done. I’ve got this weekend too. I’ve gotta make peanut butter blossoms, pecan tassies, peanut butter cups, spritz cookies, and peanut brittle. I still feel like I’m missing something on that list that I usually make. Oh well.

I like making peanut butter blossoms. But this year I’m doing something a little different. I usually get chocolate stars to put on top. This year, I’m gonna use Hershey’s Kisses … and the good ones too, dark chocolate … I need to have an ‘unwrapping party’ though to get those little morsels of goodness ready to put on the cookies. Can’t leave ‘em in the wrapper. That would be hard to eat. And I don’t think they’d melt and stick to the cookie … LOL. I just have to keep myself from eating them as I’m unwrapping ‘em. I think I’m good though. I bought 2 bags, and if the serving size is correct on it, I should have enough to make 12 dozen … and I don’t make THAT many … LOL.

Since I’m gonna be baking tonite, I didn’t want to cook. I forgot to take the hamburger out of the freezer anyways. So I ordered a pizza. Hopefully it’ll be here within the next 15 minutes … I’m hungry. I could probably start unwrapping Kisses now so I can write out cards while the cookies are baking.
