    I am going to make three dozen cookies, four pies, and a brownie delight. By Thursday at 11 am, when I'll need to start getting ready to leave. I have work tomorrow and Wednesday.

    I'm making the cookie dough tomorrow morning before work at 10. It will be refrigerated.
    I will make the cookies Wednesday evening after I get home. I'll be up late. I'll make the frosting while they bake. The brownies will go in after the cookies, followed by making the layers/layering the brownies. Thursday morning I will make the other two (no bake) pies while the two pumpkin pies bake.

    There will be panic, but I haven't scheduled that yet lol.

  • My goal is to have Wes and I back in fighting shape by Thanksgiving. We both have colds.  How am I going to fight it? Will power?

    I'd really like to find some time to bake this week, but with the holiday and the cold, I don't feel much like doing anything.

  • I would like to survive thanksgiving.

    I plan to do this by ingesting large quantities of wine.

  • Not kill MIL. We are heading out for night 2 of 3 spent dining with ILs.

    I will do this by biting my tongue, thinking of my son and the cold Somersby hard cider waiting for me at home.

    I also just want to make it through this week. No thanksgiving here just a boatload of emotions.

    I will do this by consuming copious amounts of alcohol and sugar and cuddling the little boy I have in my arms.
  • I have no motivation.  And I don't think I have anything to get motivated about, now that I think about it.

  • Not kill my MIL. No booze, but plenty of sugar should help aid me in my mission.

  • I need to finish revisions, make a Christmas shopping list, mail out some goodies to my street team, and help my dad set up his new modem and router. In order to get all this done, I will be drinking much wine, browsing Amazon for hours, make a trip to the Post Office and drink some more wine.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • This week I need to finish doing a power clean of the whole house.  Yay!! Actually that will mostly be today and tomorrow. 
    Also tomorrow the baking starts.  So pumpkin pie, pecan pie, two dozen cookies, and a dozen mini pumpkin swirl cheesecakes tomorrow. 
    Then Wednesday I need to make gnocchi.
    Thursday I need to not be frustrated at people.
    I have no idea how I will accomplish that. 
    Friday I get to have fun and decorate the house all christmas like.
