Beep, thank you for holding.

Something must have gone wrong or delayed with the warranty/shipping of the powercord. We got it but much later than anticipated. Perhaps I was accidentally misquoted with the turnaround time. Nonetheless, it's working properly without the yellow caution appearing warning me that the laptop was ready to give up.

I had plotted to start the 365 project over the holidays and now I'm glad bc I would have been stuck. I have a few pix - esp some baking ones - that even though they aren't too current I do want to post esp the chocolate ones if they turned out well. I've found a new default cookie, a Hersheys easy bake cookbook based one, for double chocolate cookies. They are wonderful and great as a base for numerous versions.

I just forsee a break, or intending a break esp once all the Fannie Maes that I can eat since there are no peanuts are gone, with all the holiday goodie goodness I'm in a bit of a cookie overload. I was honestly excited when there were yellow and red pepper strips at the The Husband's holiday party. YUM! I love peppers. I recently got an odd look from a friend when I was talking about how I had a taste for one but it was too late to go to the market.

The Hawks scarf is done and being worn. I'm quite happy. I'm glad I ended up with the new supersaver skeins bc it just ended up being the two for the main part. It needed to be long though since The Husband is quite tall. He was talking about a Cubs scarf. Even though I am a White Sox fan, I'll end up making it. Rivalry or no rivalry, I love the guy so of course I'll make it for him.

The baby blanket finally has evolved where I wanted it - after I started over AGAIN. Pink camo for a miliary baby is always a good idea. It's gonna be huge though since I ended up getting six at Hobby Lobby. I'd rather it a bit bigger so they can use it longer. If all goes as planned with her delivery date not being delayed, she will be here in the next few days - possibly even sooner. The first little one of that friends group means she is going to get spoiled - with love, attention, and of course stuff. I've already seen cute little sweaters that I want to try. It's also practive for adult sized sweaters.
