The Holidays are here! I’ve spent my free time attending various functions, baking, eating, changing into multiple outfits, and pretty much ignoring my house and laundry. I will be spending the next week cleaning, cooking, shopping, organizing, and whatever else it takes to catch up on life!
Project 365 344/365: Random things at the gas station in Orange County: an entire display of Mexican Coke.
Project 365 345/365: Me and My Mixer. We’ve been BFFs today. #cookieexchangepanic.
Project 365 346/365: Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar: Day 9. X-Wing Starfighter. The Incom T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star. Note: The tiny blue Lego on top represents R2-D2 riding on top. #starwars #adventcalendar
Project 365 347/365: I like to take iPhone pics of my tree. The hodge podge of random ornaments, lights, and garland makes me smile.
Project 365 348/365: Where else can you see a gingerbread AT-AT but @discoverycube #gingerbreadDSC #starwars
Project 365 349/365: Bad Julie. Christmas themed Krispy Kreme.
Project 365 350/365: I have a thing for Mary Janes. My Goodwill purchase from a few months ago. They were brand new in my size!
I have been invited to two Cookie Exchange Parties during the month of December. For one of the parties, I have to bring NINE dozen cookies. They have to be homemade and have flour in them. Yikes!!! The only family recipe that I have is for sugar cookies, the kind you frost. I mean those are amazing, but I need something brilliant. I’m currently searching blogs and of course, my BFF, Pinterest.
Here are some of the pretty Cookie Ideas that I have found so far:

Happy 4th of July!!!
Angry Kid and I are running this morning in the Surf City 5K and Kid’s Run in Huntington Beach. I haven’t ran a race since 2009. We went and got our race information yesterday, and Huntington Beach was already crowded. In between cleaning and baking tonight, I laid out our outfits for today’s run.
I’m wearing a tank top from Target (fancy) and a Red Team Sparkle Skirt. Angry Kid is wearing shorts and a tank top from Gymboree.
My Sunday night was spent baking and doing laundry. I baked another two dozen red/white/blue cupcakes, which I will frost tomorrow afternoon. And of course, some yummy Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies from Picky Palate.
And because it was a busy weekend, I thought I would share some more photos.
Angry Kid yesterday afternoon in Huntington Beach. He’s a badass with his ice cream.
And while mommy is at work, Angry Husband took the kid out to the desert with his friends. Angry Husband’s friends gave the kid some proper training.
I hope everyone has a great holiday!!! Stay safe!!!
