my day in bullet points

My day in a handful of bullet points:

  • I had the day off, the first of 11 days off.  This may come off as sarcastic, but in all seriousness, praise God for some time off.
  • CJ and I had our Christmas together this morning.  He used my pinterest list and went off the list I made.  I married such a smart man.
  • I went to the grocery store today.  Do you know what you shouldn't do on December 23rd?  Go to the grocery store.
  • I made lunch:  Sandra Lee's cheddar-beer chicken in the crockpot, Panera Bread's mac & cheese, and pineapple casserole.
  • To sum up lunch:  Sandra Lee failed me and CJ liked the Panera mac & cheese.  The pineapple casserole is an old standby.  (Want that recipe?  It's linked there on the sidebar.)
  • CJ made cake/cookie pops and started to make pie crusts for Christmas meals.
  • I made peanut brittle and peppermint bark in the microwave.  Both are winners.
  • I made whiskey-caramel-marshmallow-bacon bark.  It's still in the freezer.  I was intrigued by the flavors.  It looks terrible though, soooo I'm not holding out on this being a winner.
  • We are running our third load of dishes and the double sink is still full.
  • I burnt my wrist.
  • I burnt my fingernail.
  • I spilled hot bacon grease on my floor.
The grocery store trip, failed lunch, weird whiskey-caramel-marshmallow-bacon bark, and hot bacon grease mess aside, it was still a good day (I wasn't at work, was I?).

Merry Christmas to you all!
