Cookies and Friends

Here are my girls…
(I’m the one in the white/blue stripes on the left)
I have known these girls my whole life – they’re like family. It was so good to see them all. After a fair amount of hugs, laughter, and dinner, we went crazy with frosting and sprinkles.
5 dozen blank slates…
I made basic sugar cookies, and then made frosting using powdered sugar and milk (and food coloring!)
Such colorful creativity.
There was also some fantastic snacking (not all on cookies).
The best friend stopped at Whole Foods on the way up to my house, and got some delicious cheese selections, crackers, grapes and fig spread – and she’s so nice, she left all the uneaten yummies with me! (Something about grapes and cheese being difficult to carry on a plane back to LA). We also ate tons of veggies and hummus…snacky wonderfulness.
And…
Thank you to Kelly for the award! I have a really tough time coming up with new things about me, but here goes…
- I DVR Rachel Ray’s talk show, and watch it almost every day while I make dinner.
- I have a completely distorted personal clock….since I was 18, I’ve felt that my time to start a family is running out. The clock is ticking and YES, I know I’m crazy.
- I have always claimed to hate bananas, but recently…I’ve been loving them – like 2 a day. Grown up taste buds?
- I don’t really like any form of protein – except nut butter.
- While I have 3 pets, and love them all – I’m not a big animal person.
- My dad used to pay me $100 a year to not watch TV when I was in elementary school. That is so much
money when you are 8 years old – and so totally worth it. - I want to move to Arizona. Mostly because it’s warm there.
So there you go, 7 things you might not have known about your local cake lover.
I’m passing this award on to:
KT @ The Sneaker Teacher
Naomi @ One Fit Foodie
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is
Joelle @ The Pancake Girl
Cait @ Cait’s Plate
…there are others, of course, but it’s dangerously late for this 25 year old grandma (like 1:02am) and I can’t think straight.
Happy Tuesday! I wish you were ALL here to help me polish off my gazillion sugar cookies!

the cookie party looked like a lot of fun!
and might i add your tan from Mexico looks SOOOO good! nothing like a good glow in the winter time!!!! xoxoxxo
Ahhah! Thank you! I’m so flattered that you noticed…I worked hard on that tan!
Aren’t friends you’ve known your whole life just the best?
I love those random facts! I can relate with the protein. And honestly at 8 I think I would have gone with the TV haha
i love your random facts!!
you are SO pretty and so are your friends! love it!
I used to have to pay a quarter into a jar for every half hour of TV I watched. Hated it.
I DVR Gilmore Girls every day, lol.
You look so cute and tan!! Love that sweater.
Thanks for the award! What a fun cookie party you had! I would love to do something like that with friends during the holiday season!

Fun facts. I would totally give up TV now for a $100. Well, maybe $500, I do love some trashy MTV shows.
Those cookies look awesome!! I also loved reading your random facts! What’s funny is that I can TOTALLY relate to the personal clock thing. I am that way too…I have always felt that mine is ticking rather quickly…hum…I wonder what that means about us?!?
that looks like a great time and how awesome to get together with life-long friends. cuuute cookies!! loved your award answers.
What a delightful looking cookie party! I love that you have known those girls forever and you are all still friends!
I don’t really like any protein sources either! Loved your list
[...] got this adorable mug as a Christmas gift from a friend last night (thanks Lib!) She also gave me some special extra-strength cinnamon! She knows me [...]
Hehe I love your number 7! As for protein.. well I know I love my protein, but you do eat eggs! Which is one of my fave sources..so that’s one you forgot.
(But maybe you’re not as crazy as I am about them.)
And great looking cookies! I have a fear of making sugar cookies. I don’t know why, they never seem to go as planned!
Your cookie party looks like fun and I loved reading your list of “new things about me”! P.S. the itch for that baby will not go away until you scratch it – but obviously at 25 you have lots of time!
SO MUCH FUN! i had a cookie party a couple weeks ago, and it was just the best time. and the cookies look adorable!
ummm i am also not an animal lover and have found myself enjoying things i did not like when i was younger. ummm…brussel sprouts?
lots of love girl…glad you had a wonderful day!
