Ginger Bread Men

Cooking is a tried a proven from of expressing love. I have been obsessing about Gingerbread men for a while now...- because I absolutely LOVE ginger, (men are OK)- ... and Alan finally agreed that since he loved me he would make them for me.
YAY!
So, last night, around midnight we set off to Safeway and Albertsons to get all of the necessary ingredients. We were disappointed at the lack of molasses and cookie cutters, but we persevered. The dough is now chilling in the refrigerator... but the anticipation of biting little men's heads off is making me giddy already.

Why is it that Gingerbread men are associated with Christmas anyway??

Things That I Have Enjoyed This Past Week

Chocolate in its various forms
Knitting a special someone a Xmas present
Finding a nice ophthalmologist
Sleeping until noon
Getting a free lunch
Driving in the rain
Reading trashy magazines as I wait in line at the grocery store

Time for Bad Poetry

I wish I were a fish
Swimming in the sea
In a pea
And not doing homework for my lame class

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Christmas Is Almost Here!!! Although I hate the fact that I feel obligated to buy people gifts in order to demonstrate that I care about them, that I despise how stores take advantage of my vulnerability to the word "Discount", and that I enjoy Christmas foods TOO much to be healthy (like EggNog; I could drink a liter a day) I still manage to enjoy Christmas and I always get a little extra giddy inside when this time of year approaches.

Also, I must brag about my boyfriend, who is taking me on a super secret and romantic getaway for the New Year. I don't know where he is taking me, except for the following facts:

- It is not located in the Continental US, or Canada.
- There will be a fabulous New Year's Party, for which I am going to get to wear a pretty dress.

I am actually pretty impressed that he has been able to keep the location secret from me for more than a month now, despite my constant prying. Can YOU guess where we will be?

MUST POST SOMETHING

Everything that has come after my first bought of artistic inspiration has been aweful compaired to my first masterpiece (below displayed). I am in an artistic rut and in need of inspiration.
If fact, since I have self-declaired myself as an Ar-tist, I have had more frequent and erratic moodswings. I wonder if there is a connection??!?

Also, I have a cold. A very bad cold. So don't come near me!
