WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN BAKING

Okay Danni, this is what NOT to do when you bake that Lemon Square recipe, LOL. This is what happens when I don't pay attention when I'm pulling something out of the hot oven.....and move UP when I should still be moving OUT first...... I touched the top of the oven with both hands on the way out of it with the pan of squares...... OWIE!!! The squares were deelish, thank you very much, but the war wounds I got from making them will probably scar my hands for life....... sheesh! Moral of the story, always pay attention when working with HOT appliances. And if you happen to be extreeeeemely mentalpausal too, make sure you have responsible grown-ups supervising you......... heh heh.... I'm keeping them clean and covered in bandages (with a healing salve on them), and airing them out a little at night at home when I'm sitting doing nothing, then re-bandaging them again for bedtime. They are raw so I don't want to infect them. How lovely for Christmas huh? Hey, maybe this means I can get outta doing all them ##@@** Christmas Dinner dishes!! LOL

So all that balmy winter weather we've been having went for a shit-dive today, and we got snow and wind and COOOOLD temperatures. As I told my southern sista Janna tonight, I froze my bunyakas clean through walking to work this morning, and it ain't even THAT cold yet for this neck of the woods for this time of year. However, for Christmas Day on Saturday, it's going to be around +8C here, so that's nice in my books baby!!

Yeesh, I've got two sick people in my house. My hubby Albert (or "Albie, as Debs has officially named him) has come down once again with a bad stomach flu, and now my sis Pammie has taken a turn for the worse with her symptoms too. IF THERE EVER WAS A FLU SHOT GOD, HEAR ME PRAYIN' TONIGHT OKAY?? I feel as if I should keep rubbing the spot on my arm where I got the shot, for good luck. Or maybe to keep it working. Not that I'm crazy or anything, FYI. Or maybe I AM?? Well for those of you who REALLY know me well, that's just normal for me. Anyway I'm hoping to keep myself flu free even in the midst of all these horrid, gross and rather scarey germies floating around in my house right now. And more importantly in the big scheme of things, I truly hope that my two sickly loved ones will be all better by Christmas so that they can at least enjoy the day. And appreciate the cheap prezzies I bought them.

Well I guess if I'm going to get any beauty rest (yeah right) I better think about going to bed soon..... didn't get much sleep last night as hubby was sickly and tossed around a lot. So....... I wish myself a better night tonight (and him too) and all of you a good one! Until next time, PEACE BE WITH YOU.......
