Today was my Grandma and Grandpa Trenda's 70Th wedding anniversary party. It was nice to see all the people that I have not seen in awhile.

Fat Ass

I am pretty sure this is what my ass is going to look like pretty soon. Yesterday I tried on my black dress pants and I could hardly get them over my big but. Granted they are a size 0, but they fit me perfect last year! I was not very happy. I don't know if this biking stuff is worth the big but I am getting. Of course I have not been on my bike for 3 weeks now so maybe all the muscles has tuned into fat. I am sure that is it.....I am getting the dreaded BECKER BUT!

So I have come to the conclusion that I cannot do my elliptical anymore. When I used it on Tue. my leg hurt for 3 days. I hurt as bad as when I run. So now I have to get rid of it for sure. I listed it on Craigslist a couple of days ago. No takers yet. They will take it at 2nd Wind but I hoped to sell it on my own so I could get a little more money for it. I will give it one more week.

I went hunting yesterday after work. It was so nice out. I should be able hunt Mon. Tue. and Wed. of this week if it does not rain.

I guess I better go I am a little busy today at work.

Cookies

Christmas Cookies ( Aunt Elaine's Recipe)

3 Cups flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
3 eggs 1 t. vanilla

Sift dry ingredients, add shortening and mix with fork. Add eggs, vanilla and mix. Roll out thin and cut into desired shapes. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake at 375 for 8 min. Makes about 4 dozen.

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.

Let it show, let snow, let it snow.

The Stand-Off

I am finally feeling better today. Friday I was coughing so much that I was loosing my voice. I called in sick to work yesterday. I was glad I did because I was still coughing a lot in the morning. But by last night I was starting to feel better. Today I feel much better. I am glad because I hate to be sick on my days off! I have to babysit Cassie and Nicks dog Jada this weekend. The cats do not like her at all. Charlie pretty much shows her who is the boss but poor Harper is to little. Jada will not leave her alone. She want to pick her up and toss her around. So we had a few battles over that. Now Harper is hiding upstairs. Last night she discovered how to get up on my bed so she decided she need to sleep with me. Charlie was not to happy about that at first but she got over it and they both slept with me for most of the night. Today I am not sure what I am going to do. I was going to go hunting this afternoon but the 50 mile-an-hour winds is putting a stop to that. I just looked out the window and it is snowing!!!!! Well I better go Jada keeps putting the ball under the desk and it is driving me nuts!
