holy shnorkers!
I want to say this all the time now.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

We have not had cookies at our place for a long time either, and then last week Mom bought 3 kinds...maybe she was feeling guilty about something. Maybe Pepperidge farm had a sale.
We always have multiple kinds of cookies, since I live with the Cookie Monster.

Happy birthday, Strix!
I am always cookie deprived. But I'm going for cupcakes tonight, so it's okay.
Today's Goth Fashion question: do I want to blow some spending money on buying two tubes of a custom-blended shade that will match my One True (discontinued!) Lipstick? I suppose I should make this decision after my tattoo consultation on Sunday, so I know if I have any flexibility in my budget.
(Dammit, Chanel. WHY did you discontinue Vamp? No, the "new" version of Rouge Noir is not the same color, don't try to tell me it is.)

I'm making peanut-butter cookies this weekend (or possibly tonight), but instead of peanut butter, I'm using TJ's chocolate-almond spread (like Nutella, but almond-y, instead of hazelnutty). I anticipate yumminess.
I've been wanting to try that out as well. The GF peanut butter cookie recipe? Oh, that should be sooo good.

The GF peanut butter cookie recipe?
Yeah, the super-easy one that's 1 cup of PB, 1 cup of sugar, 1 egg, and 1 tsp of baking powder.
Oh, that should be sooo good.
It's actually a test batch for a Labor Day party. (No, it's ACTUALLY Tim's sneaky plan to get cookies. When I mentioned I wanted to make a variation on the PB cookie recipe with the chocolate-almond spread, he said, "You should make a test batch to be sure they work." With a straight face, he said this. I laughed at his shameless ploy, but I am making cookies anyway.)

TJs ALSO has figs right now, so I'm going to get some and roast them with goat cheese and honey. Maybe tonight.

are you getting another tattoo?
Yep. This one is the memorial tattoo in honor of my mom. Crossed keys of the Haunted Mansion (she loved Disneyland, and the Haunted Mansion was her favorite), her dates on the heads of the keys, and a ribbon around the keys that says "Love Mom" in her handwriting.

oh Jilli. that sounds fabulous. I thought you had already gotten that tattoo. Where on your body will this be? Arm?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that's incredible, Jilli. Just fantastic.
