Two more days~!

I don't have to work today though they called me in and I said no so I'm really feeling the excitement now. Debbie was even nice enough to switch shifts with me on Tuesday so now I'll just have to work 5-10 instead of 4-12.

I also just finished making cookies! [info]earthstar_chan said she might make chocolate cookies, so I skipped over any chocolate recipes while looking for something so that we could have a variety of things. ^^ And I went with gingersnaps! It's the second time I've tried making them, and this recipe turned out much better than the last one, so I'm quite happy. I'd definitely make these again, though maybe do a couple things differently. First, I think it could use more ginger. XD Second, I replaced a little of the molasses with corn syrup since every time I've used it in the past, I always ended up with way too strong of a molasses flavour. But after tasting the cookies, I think using the whole 1/4 cup would be fine. So I've got at least a dozen of them packed into a container, which will leave several at home for the family to munch on, too.

I'm planning on starting to pack today so I can make sure I have everything ready. I should definitely bring a warm jacket since it's been sort of cold the past couple of days.

Oh, and I bought some English muffins on Friday, which I must remember to take out of the freezer tomorrow so we can have them for lunch on Wednesday. Maybe I could make some fruit smoothies or something, too.

I can't wait until Wednesday! I almost can't believe how close it is. ^__^

I'm jealous, cookies and cosplay and everything. It's a shame I'm moving because I would have loved to have gone.

I would have loved to have you along too, but there's always another time, right?

I won't be cosplaying though, due to my utter incompetence for sewing. ^^;

I can't even sew a button, so I just commissioned my friend to make costumes for me, because I <3 teh cosplay. ^_~

And I'd like to go sometime soon, but this time year we're moving in the house, so who even knows.
Zen: care to share?[info]zenavvy on May 20th, 2008 03:41 am (UTC)
I was taught how to sew a couple things, but that was so long ago that I just...forgot. XD;; At least having a friend to do it for you is convenient! ^^

So you'll be busy for a while, eh? My sister still hasn't gotten quite settled into her new place yet. But I can't imagine I'll be going to another convention very soon anyway, unless they manage to get one for this city off the ground. <<;

Yeah, honestly, I'm not even sure if I'll ever be able to go because next year we're going to start having kids.
Zen: curious Lina[info]zenavvy on May 20th, 2008 02:51 pm (UTC)
Oh, really? I remember you mentioning that you were thinking you wanted to have kids, so you've both decided now?
the_flowergirl: Angel[info]the_flowergirl on May 21st, 2008 03:50 am (UTC)
Yeah, we're going to start after next year's con, which actually ties in nicely to us getting the house early.

COOKIES!!! YAY!! I picked up the candy on Saturday night, so we'll have that too. I should stuff a jacket in my things as well. My wardrobe resembles Arizona waaaaay too much.

It sounds like we'll have lots of goodies! ^_^

I think you'll definitely want a warm jacket, because it has been pretty cool lately. I might even bring an umbrella too, since there's also been quite a bit of rain.

Yum! I love ginger snaps. I just finished baking my cookies today too and I plan to pick up the beaver tails Thursday. Stu said he was going experiment with some different muffin recipes (I think he was toying with the idea of lemon and strawberry muffins.) It looks like we'll have a nice varity of treats on this trip. ^_~ I can't wait!
Zen: shiny! ♥[info]zenavvy on May 20th, 2008 03:42 am (UTC)
Mmm, I do too! These just need more ginger, I think. XD

Awesome! I can't wait to try your cookies too! And lemon and strawberry muffins sound delicious~ We're not going to be hungry at all! XD
