So the cookies actually didn't turn out half bad. I made some Jam Thumbprint Cookies, and added some ingredients so the cookie itself wasn't so bad. My husband ate the first batch the night I made them... twenty cookies gone in about two hours. But I guess that IS a good sign.
The next batch was Oatmeal Sunflower Seed Cookies. They came out with a beautiful nutty flavor, almost like peanut butter, but not quite. Next time, though, I think they'd be good with some coconut or dried fruits.
The last batch was Snickerdoodles. The name itself just makes me smile. They weren't half bad, although the dough was sticky and pretty hard to roll into balls. They also came out REALLY small. Bite-size Snickerdoodles. :)
I got ready Saturday morning to fly back home to Colorado and surprise my sister for her sweet sixteen. We were in the car on the way to the airport, I was planning to be there before 9:15, when the plane took off. Matt looks over at my ticket I'm holding and goes "WAIT! That says it boards at 7:55!" I had read the ticket wrong, and it was actually scheduled to take off at 8:15. Matt sped up, and we watched my plane take off as we were driving up to the airport. I'm crying, calling my mom and telling her I can't make it. I went inside, and the very nice United Airlines man put me on standby and got me on the next plane out (which, thankfully, took off in about 45 minutes). I could have hugged him, he was so helpful.
Then I had to run across the B-wing of DIA, to get to my next flight, which boarded about 5 minutes after I landed. The first time, I actually missed the gate, and had to run back downstairs and ask someone where it was. I got the last seat on the plane. Phew. I ended up landing in Junction about an hour after my original flight was scheduled. :) Success. Its nice to know that even when things go horribly wrong, God knows my heart and clears a path for me.
Also, our lab ate a whole cheese ball off the counter during that whole mess because my crazy husband left it out (after I told him not to!). Poor puppy is probably very sick.
More next week, I suppose. We have to finish up our Christmas shopping. :)
