Walmart and Cookies

        Last night we decided to do our grocery shopping at...Walmart. I know I know, I hate that place too, but I had to get things that other stores would have robbed me for. I hate grocery shopping somewhere other than my normal Maceys. It takes me twice as long because I dont know where anything is, and I often give up and skip the item. On top of my frustration, James wasn't a happy camper, and Matt and I really hadn't eaten all day, thus resulting in low blood sugar. I don't know about you, but when my blood sugar is low, I can be quite cranky. Amazingly enough, there was more than one cashier open, so we chose #7, thinking it would be our best bet for a quick exit.
 Ooh.....my.....gosh....
"AND THE AWARD FOR THE SLOWEST CASHIER GOES TO GIRL AT REGISTER 7!"
         Oh and not only was she slow, she didn't say hi or even read my total to me. Why are Walmart employees the most socially awkward people I've ever come in contact with? Also, why in the world does Cache Valley have two Walmarts and no Target?  Oh Target how I miss you! Anywho...
 After dinner at Mandarin Garden, YUM YUM, we went home, and decided to make cookies for our home and visiting teaching familes. James was asleep, so Matt and I were able to spend time together, alone, for the first time in a long time. We had to laugh though when my first batch of cookies came out extreemly thin and flat. I couldn't understand why! I had just made the same recipe last week and those turned out perfect! I think it was because I doubled the recipe. So I added more flour to the dough and the next round turned out better.  I've never professed to be a good baker, but I didnt want anyone to know I was a bad one, so those first cookies will remain here.  So, my list for the day.
  • Finish Laundry
  • Bake and frost sugar cookies
  • Make my famous Artichoke dip for Salon Christmas Party
  • Find time to shower
