What kind of cookies are you baking?
Chocolate chip. Are there any other kind?
I confess, I’ve been swamped over. Swampy. I haven’t had time or predilection to write or comment. Sorry for not doing the poetry rounds.
Amidst the doom & gloom, I enjoyed the first ever batch of cookies my son baked yesterday.
a cup of tea?
The English is onto something good.

After a two-week wait, I finally collected my lost cosmetic bag… *smiles* Poem here.
Also had a lemon meringue pie today, which tasted tart & lovely.
Gotcha!
But that sleeping woman could be me. And one of my favorite things in the world is the bed. I’m beginning to appreciate the utilitarian nature of the world. Besides the bed, for the bedroom, you really just need a dresser, a closet and a chest of drawers. A lamp would be nice. And then you need fine linen. Preferably Laura Ashley.
Yawn…

Feeling very floaty, in transit. You know when you come to the final pages of a book and the right words land and reverberate leaving you feeling full and bereft at once, like an ethereal essence vaporising visibly.
Well, that’s just one way to describe. And this song set with the foxes and woods kind of fits my mood.
I’m not greatly enamored of turkey. Meaning one meal of turkey a year is enough for me.
After that plateful, I felt like a stuffed bird.
Tonight’s dinner will be “traditional Eurasian”. It will be superlative. Watch this space.
Woke up this morning and read “The Christmas story”. I love the Christmas story. Read it with me.
Mary and a carpenter called Joseph lived in the town of Nazareth.
One day, Mary was surprised by the Angel Gabriel. He told her that she was going to have a baby and that the child would be the Son of God.
Some time later, Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem. All the inns were full, so they had to stay in a stable.
There, Mary gave birth to her son, Jesus. She wrapped Him up warmly and laid Him in a manger.
An Angel appeared to some shepherds nearby and told them the good news.
They went and found the baby Jesus and knelt before Him in wonder.
The shepherds were so excited they told everyone they saw, and they were filled with wonder, too.
Meanwhile, three wise men from the East had seen a bright star, and they followed it all the way to Bethlehem.
They brought gifts for the baby Jesus and knelt before him, for they knew he was the Son of God.
In this enchanted tree you find magical creatures made from baubles. Probably the first time I saw a Pegasus rocker with a fish tail.
What would Christmas be without baubles? We like baubles.
What do you fill your Christmas stocking with? Why, candy of course.
Guess what I got for the office party gift exchange? A big box of chocolate biscuits! Then here I am at Hershey’s.
More chocs…this time for the kids. Could not resist buying these customised mini Hershey trolleys too. At the pay counter, the woman standing next to me gave me an elfish smile.
I’ve been thinking about a snowglobe.
Someone posted Coke’s clever 2010 Christmas commercial on Facebook. Santa + Inception = Coca Cola. Open happiness.
(Which goes to show, what you think about you get.)
