Random Tuesday, Randomly appearing in December

I'm not sure if you've noticed but every Tuesday just Randomly  appears.  Oh wait that's not the meaning of Random is it? Want the real meaning of Random? go link up and read and write yourself some Random Tuesday posts... here...



did you click it? are you coming back?

There was homework involved in that clicking did you see? now we have to send Christmas baking. I do hope that Canada Post doesn't eat what I sent. I'm sure they will.

Did you write your Santa Letter? yeah it's a Canadian thing cause well we're Canada We OWN the North Pole. Yep I've got Proof.  Santa has a Canadian Postal Code. H0H 0H0. yep, it's true, I read it on the internet and before that in the news papers and heard it on the radio and my mom told me.

Don't listen to that Julie! she was telling some outlandish stories lastnight about Tinkerbell, Glitter, Santa, missing Bunnies and the toothfairy! DO not believe her, because Believe=Better presents!!

Speaking of Believe, I Believe I have to sell more Avon in 2011. Canadian Customers only.. ugh! I also Believe I'm going ot have to fork out $ for my own Avon Website. ugh! The thing about being self employed? you have to self fund.

Boys last week of school. At first I figured they were getting less Christmas but you know it's better this way because Christmas comes The Eve and Day, and I get more stuff done.

Baking some done, fudge? MIA! I'm pretty sure though my assets are bigger. But maybe not, I've been so go go go, I've not been eating as much, picking really, and my pants I bought first of the month, are a bit high waisted now.

Bummed a bit, some friends are visiting the island this Christmas. I wont get to see them because it's my year off from the island. It's much less rushy here. I've had 1 Holiday visitor so far, my cousin came to visit last week. We had ourselves a beer  and chatting. The boys were entertaining. How many boys does it take to test Christmas lights? 3! Two to start it, and 1 oldest to come in and boss them around while the youngest gives up on the light and resorts to tacky Flashy thingys... this needs a pick, hang on the great Googly might help...
ACK! not even on great googly... I don't even know what they are called.

If you are a child of the 60-70-90s I'm sure you've seen them.

I just randomly left and wrapped a few things. now I have to go buy more to wrap. ugh! what's fun for a under 40yrold man? cause I'm stumped.  I get so stuck on "useful" hahah.

I can't be the only person not finished right?

not to find the tape again and the pens, ugh! Darn elves never print the same...

Merry Christmas if I get too wrapped up here and don't get back before boxing day. yeah it's a holiday... hahaha Falalalalalala

Virtual Cookie exchange-Chocolate Chip or Cranberries and White Chocolate

OK  Karen sent me a email today, full of holiday wishes and ideas! This right here is the idea. A Virtual Cookie Exchange. Here is the code for the buttons.





Now my coding skills are a bit off so I'm going to have to work on that, but in the meantime, RECIPE? right you all want the recipes?



In yesterday's Random Tuesday I was talking about Chocolate Chip cookies for My son's Curling potluck. If you've ever gotten an email from the Cookie countdown on Allrecipes? you've seen this before. It started as White Chocolate and Cranberry cookies. The recipe there asks for Brandy and if you saw me Friday night? well uh I drink Rum, and the boys they dont' drink yet. give it time, there are 8yrs to legal age for my oldest. ACK!

So here's my revised for us recipe...
Excuse the spots...
1/2 Cup Butter (I used margerine, cause that's what I had) softened
1/2 cup PACKED Brown sugar.
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Egg beaten
1 TBSP Brandy... replaced with 2TSP Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour(or replace 1/4 cup with whole wheat if you use them for kids lunches, then you can say YES my kids eat whole wheat cookies when the teacher asks about healthy choices)
1/2 TSP of Baking Soda (not sofa as I first typed)
1 cup Chocolate chips (ORRRRRRRRRR the 3/4 cup White chocolate chips and 1 cup dry cranberries, also yummy)


Cream the first 5 ingredients, and then add in the dry at the end. You can use a mixer but make sure it's got GOOD power. I have a tendency to ask Santa for Mixers for Christmas on about the 20th or 24th of December.....
