Merry Christmas Eve and a Recipe!!

Merry Christmas Everyone! My presents are bought, wrapped and ready to go! Although I am missing a couple of presents that haven't been delivered yet!  I am hoping the mailman will come through for me today.

  I got up early this morning and made my Grandmother's Old Fashion Soft Sugar cookies because Tall kept "reminding" me that I needed to make some!

Old Fashion Soft Sugar Cookies

2 cups granulated sugar
3 egs
1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup buttermilk
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups flour

Mix all ingredients together (I use a mixer)...drop by spoonfuls onto a greased (with Pam) cookie sheet.  Sprinkle with granulated sugar (can use colored sugar if desired)...bake at 350 degrees until bottoms start turning brown.

You can add a little more buttermilk if you want them more of a flat cookie.

They are very easy to make!

Enjoy!!
Ozzie

Venti arrived home safely from California on Thursday but we have yet to see him.....hummm...hope this isn't an indication of last year.  He did tell me that he is eating dinner with us at my parents house on Christmas Day so at least they are taking turns!

Short's Christmas program at school. He was a Shepherd!

I have not heard back about the job yet.  They told me they would let me know either way! Hopefully I will hear something soon!

Today we are going to 5:00pm mass which is the children's mass.  We have to get there about an hour before to get a seat because it gets that crowded!  After mass the 5 of us are going out to eat.  The boys picked Red Lobster!  Yum!  Bring on the biscuits!

After dinner we are stopping by Short's best friends house for a party.  Then its home to relax a little before tomorrow!


Merry Christmas to all of you!
Thank you all for being a friend, follower, or both as that is the best Christmas present I could ask for!  

Video From Santa!!!!! Free!!!!

I found the coolest thing and wanted to share it with you although you might have heard of it already.  I never did and had a ball with it! It is called PNP|Portable North Pole!!!




In just a few easy steps, you can create a personalized video from Santa Claus for your children, friends, family members or colleagues by providing a few little details about the person.  Then it is emailed to the recipent and/or watched directly from their site!

It is FREE and I was amazed at how real the video was!  It only takes a couple of minutes to answer the questions and the video is available immediately. I did one for all my kids including Venti! Short sat in a trance watching his!  It is a lot of fun!  Short has watched his several times because he was amazed at how much Santa knew about him!



Let me know if you try it and how much you liked it!!

Sand Tarts!

These are a thin, crunchy cut out shortbread cookie. They are Pennsylvania Dutch and my Grandmother made these. I would sneak and eat them right out of the freezer because I loved them so much! Here is the recipe. Enjoy!!

1/2 butter (softened...not margarine!)
1 cup sugar
2 egg yolks (save the egg whites for later)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cup floor

Mix all the ingredients...use well floured surface...knead in more flour if needed. Roll our dough with rolling pin...the thinner the better! Cut into decorated shapes using cookie cutters. Brush with the saved egg whites and decorate with colored sugar or cinnamon sugar. Bake on 325 degrees on cookie sheets (lightly greased) until lightly browned. If they are really thin, they will cook quickly!

Enjoy!!

My Answers!

1.  Tomorrow I'm going to _________?
     
       Go to work.  Nothing very exciting. Maybe I should have saved this question for when I actually had something interesting to write!  lol..

2.  Pudding or Jello?

        Definitely pudding!  Jello makes me think of when I was little and sick and my Mom made jello.  I just don't like the texture of jello...blah!

3.  What book are you currently reading?

        Sadly none!  I wanted to start reading again after I had my foot operated on but for some reason I just didn't have time.  I work this week and then I'm off for 2 weeks so hopefully I can find time to read then!

4.  What is the first concert you went to see?

      Shaun Cassidy! Hehe...I'll never forget it.  I was 12 years old and my Mom took my little sister and myself and it was so awesome!  I loved him!

5.  What is your current weather?

      Cold!  Typical December weather that I don't think I will ever get used to....I want WARM!!!

Follow Friday 40 and Over!!

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone is doing well! I am still recovering from my foot surgery which went really well. It hurt a lot the night that I had the surgery but then after that it wasn't so bad. Yesterday he took off all the bandages and now I only have on a smaller one. I still have to wear the surgical boot for another week or so. I can walk fine and it hardly hurts any more!

I have been trying to get my Christmas shopping done and I'm probably a little over half way so I'm getting there. Short can't think of anything he wants so I have no idea what I'm going to get for him. You know when your 11 year old can't think of anything then he really doesn't need anything!

Grande and Tall are done with school next Friday so it will be back to a full house again for about a month.  Venti is still in San Diego and will be home December 22nd after being away for work since October.  I am anxious to see him.  Mocha went with us last Saturday to a party so we got to spend time with her.  Venti and Mocha will most likely be moving out of state in January with is job (he works for the Federal Highway Administration.)  He doesn't have a choice and has to go for about 2 years.  That will be really difficult!  He isn't sure where they are placing him yet so hopefully he will find out soon. 

I have a job interview on Tuesday.  I interviewed there a month ago and she called me to say they have 2 more opening and wanted me to interview for these 2 jobs.  I'm pretty sure I have a really good shot at one of them. I like my job now and I'm so afraid of leaving and not liking it there but its not downtown like I work now and free parking which is a bonus.  I guess I have some thinking to do!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  My goal this weekend is to get the boys together to take the a picture for our Christmas card!  I'll be sure to post it!

Questions:

1.  I really need to clean my _________?
2.  What food makes you think of Christmas?
3.  If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? 
4.  What was your first paying job?
5.  Have you read the Twilight series?
---------------------------------------------------------------
My Answers!

1.  I really need to clean my _________?
     
       Bathroom!!  After having the boys home for several days the bathroom is screaming "clean me"....I cleaned it right before they got home last week but it needs it again already.  We all use the main bathroom in the hallway since Joe works nights and he sleeps during the day so the master bathroom only gets used by Joe!

2.  What food makes you think of Christmas?

        Cookies!!! As soon as my foot heals some more I'm going to start baking!  Yum!!

3.  If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? 

        I would say 30.  How comes I can barely remember that age??  30 seems to be the perfect age because you are not too young and not too old!

4.  What was your first paying job?

      Babysitter!  I babysat a lot as a teenager!

5.  Have you read the Twilight series?

      I have not!  I'm probably one of the few that haven't read it!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! I spent the day with my family....minus Venti and Mocha who are across the US in California. Venti is working there until December 22nd. It wasn't the same with him gone but we are looking forward to him coming home.
I am currently lying in bed because I had foot surgery on Tuesday. I had a toe spur and he also drilled a hole in the surrounding bone because of something to do with the cartlidge...ouch! I am having a hard time getting around so I'm shopping online and watching the Hallmark channel!
I wear a boot to walk and I'm using a cane. He said I could use crutches but those things are hard to use! I can get a bath and have to put my leg over the side of the tub...its a good thing I'm flexible! lol. I go back to the doctor's on Monday. I'm glad that I don't have to go back to work until December 5th because there is no way I'd be able to walk from the parking garage to my desk!
Grande and Tall are home from college until next Tuesday which is nice! Joe and I put up the tree and decorations last weekend which I am so glad we did since I can hardly walk!
I hope everyone had a great day! Please say hi and cheer me up!

      I would say between 9pm and 12am.  That is when everyone has settled down and is in their room, the house is quiet and the cats are snuggled at the bottom of my bed. Then its "me" time!!

5.  Did you start Christmas shopping yet?

      So far I have bought one present!  Whopee!!  lol...I am dreading the list of things that I have to get yet.  I wish Christmas wasn't all about the presents!

Meet Me On Monday!!

For those of you who are joining for the first time....Welcome!  I post the questions on Sunday evening to give you time to get your post ready.  I try to make the questions simple and fun!  Its amazing how much we all have in common and yet are very different from each other.  Lets get started!  Enjoy!!!

Welcome to the 57th edition of "Meet Me On Monday!"  Blogging  is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is  this person!?"  I know them...but yet I don't know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to "meet" each other!

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

Java will add a linky so we can follow who participates and get to know them  better!!  Be sure to link the POST and not just your whole blog!!
