I swear I had good intentions today but I am so easily distracted. Got the color cartridge for my printer and started on some photos for frames, and made on for my DS and DIL, and one for me, of Oskar. The one for them is Oskar and Max together, so I think tthey will like it. I got the frames for very little at the Lang outlet, and just repainted the frame color and did a little embellishment.

I tend to go a bit overboard too, especially when I find something I know will be perfect. Got a pasta cooker with the insert for draining for DIL, when we had dinner there she was making pasta in a small shallow pan. That is so **wrong**. Then there's all the other things I bought, which still need wrapping...

Think I can manage cookies this afternoon, then I'm stopping for the day. At least three of us got a good night's sleep...I took one of the OTC sleep remedies and slept from 10 to 6, which is 2 hours over my usual. Felt good.

Ann and MaryE make the rest of us look like we are hardly moving!
I did manage to get dressed early though. Snow days are really a pain aren't they? I used to dread them because I still had to go to work and I worried all day that the kids would burn the house down. When they were little and went to a sitter, or I had someone to watch them it was fine, but once they hit their teens, there isn't a sitter in the world that would sign up for that. We all lived through it though.

Cookies ....hmmm better get going or there will just be a puddle of butter on the counter.
