okra: Busy, busy!

This weekend went by in a blur; I can't believe it is Monday already. And Christmas is one week away, eek! Though, I'm mostly ready. The bulk of my shopping was done in late October (ha!) and everything is already wrapped.

I made about 100 pizzelles last night and have plans to make sugar cookies later this week. (This is very simlar to the recipe I used.)

{The finished pizzelles.}

I wanted to put them in plain, clear cellophane bags, but those are surprisingly hard to find (well, locally anyway). So, I ended up using some "treat bags" from Target. I wasn't totally keen on the bags at first, but the finished product ended up looking pretty good, better than expected at least.

I just dropped my photos off at the print shop for our holiday cards. I'm picking them up tomorrow after work. I'm going to have to hurry to get them out on time. It took me awhile to decide what pictures to use this year, but ended up using some of the photos from the "big snow".

Our bed frame has still not arrived, so I called them this afternoon, only to discover that they are planning to deliver it next Saturday. Saturday is not going to be convenient per se. I'm supposed to be meeting up with my family that day. The only other day they can deliver it is January 6th. And NFM promised "mid-December", darn it! Wouldn't that be roughly the 10th - 20th if you divide the month in thirds, or what does that mean anyway? Though, somehow I doubt that arguing with them about my interpretation of mid-December is not going to convince them to bring my furniture earlier. ;) Oh well, I'm still pretty happy about new furniture, and I'm sure it'll work out somehow.
