No recipe, just blogging nonsense!

So Christmas is just around the corner, why am I feeling like the Grinch?

I we put up some Christmas lights and a mini Christmas tree but what is a holiday without a bunch of little ones running around? I know the way I used to light up and be just estatic for Christmas when I was little....I'd like to experience that again with my own kids.

I've been doing some baking.... cookies, pies, cheesecakes, cakes, etc which Melvin loves. As of Decemember he is temporarily out of work until February. This will be a bit of a hard period but we do have things figured out and our stability is not at stake. The bright side is he will be home a lot more and we will have tons of time to spend together. Of course I will still be working but that is quite necessary so I can get out of the house and not go crazy :)

It sure is hard to get in the Christmas spirit while living in Southern California. In Decemember it's been in the 80's and it's very annoying. Obviously no snow and only a day of rain so far to speak of. I miss Seattle and would love to spend a Christmas in a snowy place, maybe next year.
