1 cup shortening

This is my sugar cookie recipe. I made some on Monday. It is the first time in at least 3 years that I have made them. They are so good. I have ate way to many of them already! Christa and Amy both had to make them after hearing that I did. I gave them my recipe, they both claim that I was withholding it from them. But now I have to be a fight with Jese because he told Christa that he did not like them. I am pretty sure that not liking the family cookies is grounds for divorce. So other then making cookies I have not been up to much. I had to work yesterday. I made a big football player cry yesterday because I would not take his $50. parking ticket back. I know I am sooooo mean. Today I am taking a hour off of work so I can go hunting. With the time change this weekend my hunting time is very limited. Amy said that Liam keeps asking for me. I have not babysat him for 3 weeks now. It is the longest time since he was born that I have gone without having him for a day. I will have to take him on my day off for a couple of hours because he misses me so much. Well I better get to work since I am at work.
