today i.... (part two)

had crunchy peanut butter in my oatmeal - so soooo much better than better'n peanut butter :)

pained over my boys' christmas gifts - they must receive the exact same monetary value of stuff or it's just not fair or right, it should be a game on the Price is Right...

drove to Costa Mesa and back

decided to buy heavy cream after staring at heavy whipping cream and heavy cream for about 15 minutes straight and being asked repeatedly by troubled Trader Joe's employees if i was ok, when clearly i was ok, just hopelessly confused by the weight and whippiness of cream

bought laundry detergent from amazon.com... i almost feel bad for Mr UPS, i know it's his busiest time of the year and all, but amazon is just soooooo convenient! Mr UPS delivered our breakfast cereal yesterday - no trip to the grocery store required! (ok it was required today for heavy cream... )

made salted caramel and fudge! (and tried reaalllly hard not to eat it all...)

had an adorable three-dinosaur-mad-little-boys playdate :)

didn't get around to taking the baby/Santa picture - tomorrow for sure :) it's supposed to rain, oh please clouds, make it rain!! i need to go to crazy 8 for a brown gingham shirt (for the below mentioned concert - all boys must dress in shirts, it says. Danny has shirts but this is a good reason to buy a new shirt :)

vowed to absolutely definitely find my flip before friday's long awaited kindy christmas concert (they're singing that chinese song 'feliz navidad' :)

almost went to Olive Garden for dinner but since smart ones frozen entrees taste pretty much the same, stayed home instead :)

watched Dr Phil - it was very boring

got hopelessly lost looking at pictures from March and didn't make a single page of my blurb book....

cuddled with Jerry the very lonely rat (he's very lonely these days... Aaron thinks it's all in my head:)

made a huge batch of cream cheese frosting... it's sooo good i am going to freeze it in little scoops for emergencies:

• 2 packages of cream cheese (i use the third less fat one though it never makes me a third less fat...)
• 1/2 cup butter (i use that slimming i-can't-believe-it's-not-butter butter:)
• 2 cups sifted powder sugar (which i never ever sift - purlease!)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

then i whip it until i am too hungry to wait any longer and eat it all by itself, no pumpkin loaf required :) though i did make a pumpkin bread too, so i feel less guilty about living off frosting.... surely having it on bread makes it less unhealthy :)

off to bed - there's a new Tabatha Takes Over to watch :)
