Its A Christmas Miracle!

Bulleted ListOh little Tiny Timmy, how did you know such good things would happen!?!?

So far December has been a lovely month! This week is full of accomplishments!

I must share...it would be wrong to leave you out of the loop.

So without further ado!

  • Last weekend I baked 2 dozen cookies! The real accomplishment is the fact that I baked anything at all. I don't bake. I DO however burn, add too much flour and deflate cakes! But I successfully created two batches of Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies last Saturday. AND....People liked them.
  • I showered yesterday. Um...wait...that was a daily accomplishment...scratch that!
  • Can you believe someone is giving away MY award today!!! How exciting is that! Maybe one day it will make it back to me. I'd be thoroughly entertained. But just the thought of my little gnome creation going into circulation has me smiling.
  • My children cleaned their rooms yesterday ... WITHOUT complaining. HUGE Christmas Miracle!!!
  • Harry Potter comes out on DVD today...well I guess that's not an accomplishment...or a Christmas Miracle. BUT it is still exciting!!!
  • We saw Santa across the street from Blockbuster last night. He stood waving to all the cars. Not really sure why, but it entertained my son. I can't believe he made his way to our city. What an awesome man!
So there you have it. A list of Christmas Miracles.

Oh yeah! And I forgot to mention, I guess I kinda finished my book yesterday too.

What? You need me to repeat that? Sure!

I FINISHED MY BOOK YESTERDAY!

(Sorry I didn't mean to yell...)

So I finished my second novel and the decided to have a moment of stupid when I thought it would be a great idea to join Krista and Sherrinda (and I think T. Anne now too?) in an Editing Contest.

The entire book edited by January 1st, 2010! What was I thinking! Better go get to work.

Congrats on the accomplishments . . . except for the editing thingy. Obviously, you weren't thinking. It is Christmas Chaos time - parties here, there, and everywhere, secret family Christmas cookies to make, batches of fudge to make, gingerbread men to make. OMG, what was I thinking??

I'm pretty sure I'd rather be editing! But feel free to send me some of those cookies!!!

Kristen Torres-Toro said...

Scott said...

You're all about people sending you food, aren't you?? Ha!

Thanks Kristen and Foursons!

Scott I love food...so is that a rhetorical question?

I know Jessica...I have no clue what I've gotten myself into. AHHHH

Elizabeth...didn't I tell you I'm magical? Ok well not really. But let's pretend I am, it's the most logical explanation :)

I love that little gnome. You created that? Who do I have to suck up to to get one?

Congrats on the book!
