Cookies and Movies and Friends, Oh My!
I actually finished my homework, so I didn't feel at all guilty when Dustin and Steve came over around 6:15 and we proceeded to spend the next 5 hours making COOOOOOKIES! We made lots. Sugar cut-outs that we didn't frost cause we didn't have enough powder sugar to make the frosting, but we still had fun decorating the raw cookie dough with cinnamon candies and colored sugar and sprinkles and chocolate chunks and all that. They turned out very tasty.
Mandy also decided she wanted to make play-dough cookies! So she and Dustin and Steve all made a bunch of 3D kinda cookies out of colored dough (Dustin's Buffy cookie was particularly amusing. His exact words were, and I quote "It has all the *important* parts!") while I laid on the couch and watched Love Actually, which I had never seen. I know, I should be shunned, but I always thought it was a sappy romance! Well, it is *kinda* sappy, but in the fun kind of way, and I really enjoyed it. Very good Christmas movie.
After we had mostly finished with the cookies, I ended up having a massive giggle fit. It wasn't even that funny, but hey, it's the end of the semester and it's the first weekend I really haven't had to worry (as) much about homework and school and classes and everything. You know how it goes - all of a sudden you're insanely tired for no reason, and then someone says something or does something or takes a funny picture and you just Can't Stop *Giggling*, even when the joke is long gone and looking at the picture or the someone just sets you off again. Yeah, it was one of those. Dustin and Steve are blaming it on the Gold Schlogger (sp?) Mandy put in the play-dough cookies in place of the almond extract she didn't have, but since I didn't *have* any of those cookies (not yet, at least. I was kinda burned out on sugar after the first batch), I'm blaming it on Too Much Sugar and general exhaustion. It was still extremely fun, though, and there will be pictures! Just probably not tonight cause did I mention the whole Insanely Tired thing?
First final at 8 tomorrow. No, I have not studied. At all. Am I worried? Not really. I can afford a bad grade in that class. I probably will be worried tomorrow morning, though.
