Day 168: Christmas Goodies!

Day 168: After a few hours of baking, my friend Janie and I successfully created a ton of Christmas goodies! In the photo below, you can see peanut blossoms, white chocolate sugar cookie brownies, raspberry meringues, white chocolate covered oreos, brownie sandwich cookies, peppermint cookies, oreo truffles and gingerbread cookies. Yum. Yummy Yum Yum.

Day 167: Dough!

Day 167: It's that time again: Christmas cookie baking! I started off tonight by making the dough that will gloriously be baked tomorrow. My first set of cookie dough included brownie cookies and peanut blossoms! I sure hope they turn out! :)

Day 166: Pine Cones and Holly Berries

Day 166: Doesn't the title just make you want to sing your favorite classic Osmond Family Christmas song? (okay. well, maybe I'm the only one that listens to the Osmonds...) But one of my holiday centerpieces includes plain, painted and sparkled pine cones, shimmery balls and small holly berries. Nothing says Christmas to me like this centerpiece. This is a photo of my Christmas-y cones and berries!

Day 165: Campus Sunset

Day 165: I caught this impressive late afternoon sunset while waiting for the bus ride home. You can see the Biomolecular Chemistry building, the First Congregational Church, as well as one way and railroad signs in the image.

Day 164: Badger Basketball!

Day 164: Tonight we had tickets to the UW men's basketball game versus UW-Milwaukee. We don't get to go to too many basketball games throughout the course of the season, so it was nice to have a chance to watch them play. This photo was my attempt to get an action shot during warm ups--I think I achieved that! 

Day 163: It's cold...

Day 163: I feel like I'm a broken record. So...it's really cold outside...and I've decided to take a stand. I've busted out the faux fur hat. For good. Well, until it reaches 20 degrees again. Please reach 20 degrees again!

Day 162: Website Blunder?

Day 162: I was doing some online shopping today, looking for a way to spend some company cash from my Black Friday purchases. I was trying to find Christmas presents for anyone in my family, including Forest. Upon entering the "Pet" section, I noticed the website had a section for both cats and dogs. And men. Yep, that's right. They had a "mens" section on the pet page. Awesome.
