...for a month at least! Exams, done. Glad to be off for a bit, but didn't find them too bad! I didn't get too stressed, which is good, but ate quite a bit of junk..I think that's my coping mechanism haha!
Just got back from visiting Miss. Liz in O-town! So nice to get together. It was a more chill weekend, but I think it was great that way. Pertying and whatnot is grand, but I think people who aren't really friends can't just chill and watch tv(or wedding shows galore!). We got some hypothetical wedding planning done, ring shopping included. FYI, Liz has very, very expensive taste, poor lad who ends up with that bill <3
So with having this time off, with just work keeping me busy, I'm thinking I'm going to try to get some baking done. Thing is, it's actually been years since I've done any Christmas baking! I would really love to master shortbread actually. Almost everyone appreciates a good piece of shortbread, and it's just so Christmas-y - especially with the red and green sugar on top! What other baking bits are the taste of Christmas?
I think every year I have a romantic picture of baking all thses delisious bits then eating them with tea and hot chocolate while watching classic Christmas movies (like Prancer, the Nutcracker Ballet and Charlie Browns Christmas, The Grinch too!) along with newer ones (like Love Actually and The Holiday). This picture never seems to happen, but hopefully this year I'll be able to complete it, or at least get some yummies made :)
One thing I do have an issue with still - serious lack of snow. I can't, and won't, get over it! Last Thursday we got 10-15 cms of snow in a few hours, it was so nice aaannnddd then it rained. dumb dumb rain. If I wanted snow to be gone by rain, I would have stayed in Ireland. For reals weather!
Wish me luck with the week of baking ahead, and if there's any essential bits that should be added to the cookie tray, do pass them on! I'll let y'all know how they turn out(maybe with pictures!)
xo.
