A mess of stuff…

I am not happy with cookies. *growls*

Last night I made up two batches…I put one bunch of dough in the refrigerator for over night & ended up having to cook up one batch. It was the wrong kind of sugar cookies…I had wanted the kind that you roll out and cut into shapes, and blah, blah, blah. After looking through 10 cook books, I got the wrong kind of recipe. *sigh*
They turned out okay…But I wasn’t happy, as they aren’t what I was looking for.

I made up the second bunch tonight. Not only did they take longer to cook than they were suppose to (a whole five minutes over their cooking time), but they didn’t turn out right either. Out of four sheets, one was totally ruined due to the messed up cooking time…And the last three just didn’t work right. They are still edible, though they taste a bit off to me…I was lacking a touch of cocoa powder, but I didn’t think it was going to be enough to hurt (Mum said it should be fine…*pokes her with sticks*).

Mum’s one friend sent her a cookie recipe…A sugar cookie one to cut shapes out of. I’m not even sure I want to try it anymore. I’m just…*sigh* 

AND…Apparently you can’t say ‘Cookie’ in notes either. *kicks note box*

Head is still aching quite a bit…Though it subsided for a while.
I’m STILL waiting for Harley’s Yule pressie from me to get here. L I’m beginning to wonder if it’s going to get here on time. If not…I don’t know what I’m going to say about what’s from me.

Wooden swords, wooden kunai, foam padded numchucks all accounted for…I’m not sure how I’m going to wrap the swords at this point. O.o

Final grades are in…I’ve got two 3.0s [Drawing II & Life Drawing] and two 3.5s [2 D-design & Creative Writing].
I’m not sure what next semester is going to look like. O.o
If I can get my brain going and working…I’ll hopefully be able to pull off another 3.5 at least in Creative Writing.
I’m not sure what I’m in for as far as the rest of the classes go…I haven’t a clue what 3-D design is going to be like…I just hope James is in my class, as it’ll be nice to have his input…Not sure what we’ll be doing in Photography either…Aside from I’m sure there will be picture taking at some point…I’m guessing we’ll be learning about lighting and what not. Then there is Eastern Religions…Which I don’t know anything about the teacher, or how they’ll handle the class, or even how the class is set up.

As of now:
Creative Writing: 19 people signed up: Class can have total of 18 (Yeah, they have more than the max in there…Brilliant people that they are.)
Photography: 15 people signed up: Class can have total of 18
3-D design: 19 people signed up: Class can have total of 18 (Gee…They are talented just like Creative Writing.)
Eastern Religions: 30 people signed up: Class can have total of 30 [Tis all full up.]

It is so wrong to have to tell a child to get the cat out of her mouth. O.o *headdesk* Sonja has come to the conclusion she can carry the cats around like their mothers would…With her mouth! Gods…I really don’t know what’s wrong with that child. *laughs*

I almost ran over something today. O.o It was the wrong colour to be a chipmunk…Though it was about that size…& it’s tail was too…Fluffy? Seriously it looked like someone miniaturized a squirrel and set it loose in the road. It was a nice bright reddish colour and everything. It was nearly a grease spot…But I somehow managed to miss it.
Yesterday it was two group of deer…Luckily they weren’t that close to being squished…Only the one wandered across the road in front of me. That was the second bunch…Which only consisted of two deer. The first bunch had four deer, and they were off on the side of the road far enough not to worry about.

Todd’s other Christmas present came today. [Now if he’ll manage to show up between now and Christmas to get it. *pokes him with sticks* I know, I know, it’s only been a week since I’ve gotten to see him…But I miss him!] Mum told me I was contributing to the delinquency of a Hippy. *giggles*

Tomorrow night is the Critter’s Christmas program at school, postponed from Monday.
Friday is suppose to be their Christmas parties…I say suppose to because they are calling for a storm Thursday night. Miss Stevens (the 2nd grade teacher) was saying today that they have to have school Friday, so they can have their parties, because she doesn’t want to have to it when they come back after break.

I cleaned off the kitchen counters Monday…*pokes at them* Mum was happy to see them, as they are usually buried.

I think that’s about it for the moment…Head let up some for a bit, but it’s throbby a bit again. Blah. *needs new head for Christmas* *laughs*
