Maybe one day we can meet in the parks and we can exchange goodies in person.

That would be fantastic!

I used to make ahead and freeze but somehow they all got freezer burn one year, or at least that was what I was told

I can't believe anything would sit around long enough at your house to get freezer burnt!

I had a good day Didn't get all my errands done but at least my nails are Christmasy. We wound up at the library longer than expected but I picked up a guilty pleasure movie for tomorrow night (My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2) and made pom pom earrings (red green and white ones) they're sparkly poms so my boys won't want to be seen in public with me all Christmas season

Sounds like a good day. I like the Greek Wedding movies too. I think you should wear the pom pom earrings whenever you go out with the boys this season!

My boys tried that once. I don't remember what they did but my dh pulled all the electronics and they were grounded for a week. No pool, bikes outside playing, nothing but chores or reading for a week. They called and were told it would be 2 weeks of nothing but chores and reading at grandma's. They stopped at one call

I'm an amateur. I'm sure what I got will work.

I started "amateur" and/or hobbyist too

I'm a complete amatuer...any good pics I get a purely spit luck.

My grandson left a little while ago to check out the Lincoln Park Zoo Lights with his girlfriend. The weather has been super lately, so hopefully, it won't be too cold to walk around the zoo this evening. I have never been to ZooLights. I don't drive, so I don't usually go out at night. I'm glad the kids got out this evening. My grandson works hard at his job, and he needs some fun activities.

I am loading some more of my Christmas music into iTunes. Now I can listen to all of my holiday favorites.

My suggestion would probably not be adequate for this family friendly forum.
But it involves a foot, a head and a butt in the equation.

I never had a girl scout cookie experience in my whole life.

Are they really tasty?

They are, indeed...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

This was the first year in a while that I didn't buy any. I thought they were just too expensive for cookies.

Yep, the price just keeps goin' up. They went from $3-$3.50 in the combined 10 years our DDs were in Girl Scouts, which didn't seem too bad.
But, they're $5.00 here now. A bit steep.

They totally are...I still buy the Caramel DeLites though (the Keebler version just isn't quite as good), and have an e-mail address through which I can contact someone and get some during the off season if they're still available.

Not a fan of mint (hate it). But the other options sounds nice.

Bummer.
My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Ahhh, the discussion of the smuggling of illegal chocolate eggs. What have we come to?!

We should make a documentary... "The Nefarious Chocolate Egg Trade"...!!!

Yum, and then put some hot fudge on that mint chocolate chip and oh boy! Delicious! I bought peppermint ice cream last week and that was excellent with some hot fudge.

He does!!! He's not as obsessed with it as I am, but he's always telling people how it's the one place all 4 of us (2 sons) can really have a good time together without someone ending up bored, and he loves the movies and artwork as much as I do, too.

Here too, on the Disney artwork. I have 4 photostats from the 40's and 1 original partial animation sketch of Donald Duck from a cartoon in the 80's.
I also really LOVE imagineering artwork. These are just a few of my favorites from John Hench...!!!!!

Those are amazing!

I fell in love with Disney art when I was around 3...my mom had one of the big, thick copies of The Art of Walt Disney, and I would lie on my stomach looking at the pictures for hours on end...I had no idea who or what Disney was, but I loved all the artwork!

Awesome!!!
If you're talking about the big hardcover book, I have a copy of it!!! I was raised on a lot of Disney, and first visited Disneyland in '68 at age six, when we lived in No Cal...!!!!!
