What else did I get?

[wednes]

H loaded me up with Holiday Cheer, and no, that's not some kind of sex joke.

Firstly, he wrote a poem and decorated it all nice. The poem was about where he had hidden my gifts around the apartment, and I had to go find them. He hasn't hidden my gifts and made me find them since my first birthday with him, which would have been my 29th. Wow, H and I have been together almost ten years...

Anyway, the first gift was a metal sign that is a replica of the sign at the Leaky Cauldron. I'm going to hang it up on the wall by my altar. It's really cool looking.
Next was a Ravenclaw banner that is poster size and all shiny. That is going up in the living room.

My last gift was this amazing DVD collection. I only have one of these movies on DVD already, so it's a wonderful thing. A few of these movies were on my wish list, and some I have never even seen. And I love Hitch; who doesn't, right?

Lastly, my stocking was filled with cashews. They are my favorite nut, but I don't often buy them because they are so damn expensive.

Instead of selfishly staying home with H, I'm going to brave the weather and go see Cindy. She is out of the hospital (she had Legionaire's Disease, the flu and pneumonia) and home alone on Christmas. So I'm bringing her some chicken and stuffing, a few cookies and my cards to do a reading for her. I think she relies too much on the Tarot and too little on herself, but I'm not going to give her a hard time about it. Not today anyway.

When I get home I'm going to make chocolate cherry chip cookies to take to work. I predict that work tomorrow is going to be horrible as far as returns and complaints. But then I'll be off for the weekend, so that's not bad. And cookies always make the day more cheerful.

That is an awesome collection!

I didn't even know it existed until today.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

~ David told me about the cards that H creates. He should be a Hallmark consultant.

~ When I played Second Life more frequently than I do now, I roleplayed as a 1st year Ravenclaw student for awhile, but the Sorting Hat test said that I am more of a Hufflepuff-type person. I chose Raveclaw because the Hufflepuff house wasn't as active.

~ Feel free to share aforementioned chocolate cherry chip recipe with the internets!

Yeah, that H is pretty amazing with the designing.

All the smart and witty kids are in Ravenclaw! ;-]

My cookies are AB's "puffy" cookie:

with a chopped up can of tart cherries (thoroughly drained) mixed in. I also add a teaspoon of almond extract so they basically taste like a chocolate covered cherry in cookie form.

So adding the cherries and almond extract is your contribution to the recipe?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Yes.

They came out pretty tasty.
