Anyone out there watch football?? I know many women do & don’t. I am one that happens to LOVE watching, especially if it is watching my team. They would be the Patriots. They are playing very well this year & that makes me happy!
Are you finished Christmas shopping? We are still waiting on packages to arrive in the mail. My packages are slowly arriving and has me a little worried as Christmas is coming…13 days!!! Daniel’s packages are arriving daily..I MUST have been a very good girl this year,lol!
Are you a fan of oatmeal or raisins? I know many people don’t care for the cookie but if you add just the right spices they can be amazing! Like these babies! I am not a huge fan of oatmeal myself and I enjoy these this time of year. They are also good as a breakfast cookie and are good for a burst of energy to get you through your afternoon!
