Today should be dubbed Baking Day.

First, I had brunch at Panera (okay, so I didn't bake, but I had a bagel).

Then, I went to my grandparents' and made cutout cookies with my grandmother.

Thirdly, I came home and made cupcakes for tomorrow's coffee hour at church.

I also did a bit of Christmas shopping - got my brother's main gift and my dad's secondary gift. So the shopping's mostly done except for my grandparents (though I know what I'm going to get them) and secondary gifts for my mom and John. And I got my cards and list together so I can do Christmas cards. (Though, I'm going to need more stamps.) I'm hoping to get to the post office this week, so I can mail everything - even if it doesn't arrive until after Christmas. (Okay, I *know* I'm going this week, it's just a matter of the day.) And wrapping will be done this week too.

I lost 3 pounds this week at WW. Yay! (Though, when my grandmother asked how I did and I told her, she said, "It's better than a pound." To which I replied, "Hey, I'll take a pound. A pound's a pound." And then a little later she made another comment or two about worrying about me and about losing the weight around my middle. I get that she's concerned, but it comes out wrong. So, now you all know where my dad gets it from.)

I also had a very funny, and fun!, phone conversation with mashfanficchick and akina16 this evening. Which all started over them having an idea for an SGA fic, neither them nor mirnell (who was with them) writing in SGA, and mashfanficchick having my cell number and deciding to call me and ask me to write it.

OMG. *giggles* This probably isn't all that funny, but it amuses me that the Barenaked Ladies did a cover of Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?"

OMG2. New Kyle XY! January 14th! ABC Family! 8pm! YAY!!!

My advice, for what it's worth?

1/ Ignore your grandmother AND your Dad, as hard as that may be.

2/ Enjoy the Christmas baking! *g*

1 - I do as much as possible.

2 - I did! I need to start baking more often. :-D

[betagoddess.livejournal.com]

1- Good! *g*

2 - It gives you a very satisfying feeling, doesn't it? =>}

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

2 - It does. And you know what I should do when I go to my next WW meeting? Pick up the desserts cookbook I've been eyeing that's on sale (hoping that it's still there). That way I can bake, have some treats and be able to say, "but they're WW approved!"

That's a VERY good idea! Well worth the money it will cost! =>}

and mashfanficchick having my cell number and deciding to call me and ask me to write it.

Hey, I object to this...mirnell had your number, too! We only used my phone because she was driving! *grins*

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

LOL. I see how it is, then. :-P Besides, you did say that you were the one who decided to call me.

Should I be worried now that all three of you have my number?

Should I be worried now that all three of you have my number?

Um...probably. :-)

[sam-gamgee.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't mind me not responding - I can get them, but I don't have texting enabled, so I can't reply.

I lost 3 pounds this week at WW

Congratulations! It's especially difficult to get rid of weight this time of year.

Your grandmother and my aunt have a lot in common! (The very first words out of her mouth when I was alone with her in November: "Well. I see you've quit going to WW." I said, "Nope. I weigh 20 pounds less now than when you saw me last time." She said, "Maybe so but you should be 100 pounds less." *sigh*)

I'm surprised at how well I'm doing this time, consider my philosophy's mainly been to not muck things up too much. (Whereas before, I was doing everything in my power to be perfect. Go figure.)

Yeah, that sounds like something my grandmother might say. And it probably doesn't help that with my body type, I carry weight really well, so it also doesn't look like I weigh as much as I do (which could also be why it doesn't seem like I'm losing when I am).
