Anyway...
Lorelei asked me after school if we could bake some cookies for her holiday party at school tomorrow. I don't have the cooking gene that my brothers got and I'm not feeling the greatest today, but I relented to her sweet little face -- and we baked about two dozen cookies.
They are currently cooling, but look totally edible, are nicely browned and I think she'll be a happy little Bee when she brings them in to school tomorrow. Hopefully real baked goods are allowed. Schools are so picky about that now.
