me want cookies

umm ummm ummm

cookie crumbs flying everywhere

can you imagine him eating

celery?

carrots?

cucumbers?

apples?

they just don't have the same

crunch

or make the same

mess

or have the same yummy taste

so they couldn't possibly 

make cookie

as happy as

whenever he is eating COOKIES

he IS

cookie monster

after all!

Christmas Wishlist

Just in case anyone-who-gives-me-presents-is-actually-reading-this-blog-and-wondering-what-to-give-me! LOL

• bubble bath, bubble bath, bubble bath (please no PEACH scent)
• wire work beading magazines are always appreciated
• I really DO like gift cards or certificates for (Walmart, The Craft Nook, or even dinners)
• MAKE me something...YES I DO love COOKIES!!! (because I AM a diabetic and I no longer bake them or buy them for myself...so a Christmas goodie tray makes my whole day!) :) Also I appreciate crafts and things you make yourself (and a great example is a very simple bracelet Josh made me one year and I wore it every day for months because I loved it so much!!) -I also like ornaments for my tree ;)
• candles (I'm fond of cinnamon, vanilla, lavendar, gardenia, jasmine)
• honestly there is nothing I want more than that you show up for Christmas Dinner, share a joyful evening of family/friends, good food, good music, and TIME with me and maybe give me a HUG (or a kiss under the mistletoe-you know I love a mistletoe kiss lol)...bring yourself...it is more than enough to make me feel loved and appreciated and HAPPY :)
• and just in case you don't remember reading it FIRST...you can NEVER go wrong with bubble bath. Bath time is my relax time. I get rid of stresses that way and I'm always running out of bubbles!! So you'd be helping me de-stress if you bring me some! ;)  ( I LIKE berry scents, flowery scents, sugary/vanilla scents, really anything but PEACH or MANGO lol)

gingerbread, pfeffernusse

and speculaas

dipped in chocolate, covered with icing or powdered sugar

rolled and cut out with cookie cutter shapes

russian teaballs, lebkucken

spritzgeback, sugar cookies

and christmas or other holiday cookies

good with a hot cup of tea

crunchy or melting in your mouth

stroopwafel, shortbread, butter cookies

lady fingers, coconut macaroons

and chinese fortune cookies

ooey, goey, soft and chewy

or dunked and softened in cold milk

digestive biscuits, empire biscuits

peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies

and the ever delicious chocolate chip cookies
