Good morning! We are in the final stretch until Winter Break! Ankur’s last exam is this morning so he will be a free man at around noon today. I, on the other hand, have to work until Friday. But the countdown is ON. And I’m excited Ankur will have a little free time to explore the surrounding areas since he’s been going non-stop since we first moved here at the end of June.
This weekend was, overall, uneventful. This is partially because I refused to leave the apartment. I was afraid my face was going to fall off. Or that I’d cry out of fear and my tears would turn into icicles.
We had a “Cookie Decorating Party” on Friday night after work. Kasey made all the sugar cookies and frosting. Nicole made the enchiladas. Peggy made it beautiful and bright. And I? I made a mess.
I beheaded a bear on accident. Which ended up being okay because then I got to eat it. I also found sprinkles in my hair later that night. #Adulting
But, aside from Friday night, I spent most of my weekend podcasting and catching up on e-mails and blog-related things. Speaking of which, I have a new “About Me” page. If you get a chance, I’d love for you to check it out and let me know your thoughts. I welcome constructive feedback!
Have a good one!
Questions of the Day:
- What did you do this weekend?
- Do you like your cookies frosted or unfrosted?
- What’s one thing you’re looking forward to this week?
I love the updated page. I don’t know if this is the way it’s supposed to be 🙂 but as a reader I wanted the last paragraph before your photo/about the blocker to be in the present tense.

I didn’t know you went to UCLA. I went to UCLA too, although I spent most of my time at Kerckhoff Coffe House. Haha. Also checked out your new About page. It looks good and gives a great little summary you.

Looks like you had a great weekend, even if you barely left home! 13 is pretty chilly. We had a winter storm here and we are supposed to get to -8 middle of this week 🙁
What exactly is podcasting? Heard it a few times but don’t really know what it is. Holiday Cookies look really good by the way. Yum!

My weekend was so lazy.
I was in bed most of it, but I did do a lot of blog work.
And I do love frosting on my cookies, most definitely.
This week, the only thing I’m looking forward to is more shopping — yay!
Loving your new about me page Div! Best start to my day is when I read your blog! 🙂
Love you.
Looks like a fun weekend! Your blog updates look great too! Frosted for me 🙂
This weekend I caught up much on the blogging world, spent some quality time with my husband and kids, and got ahead of some laundry…
I definitely love to look at the beautifully decorated cookies, but only like eating the non-iced.
This week I’m looking forward to…well not too much…this week is so jam-packed with social events that are my husband’s work related that I’m just pretty much looking forward to next week already. 😉

Nothing much happening except more cleaning. Getting ready for the big festival. I want sugar cookies now. Hahaha!
It’s our last week before the school break as well. I’m looking forward to lazy mornings 🙂

What a great weekend! I especially love the holiday cookies! I’ve been doing a lot of baking myself and it is so fun this time of year!!!
Cookies are good with or without frosting! Yours do look delicious though.
Cookie decorating party sounds so much fun! This weekend my son had piano recital and he got a ginger man decorating kit and the two kids had a good time decorating it! I’m mentally coaching myself to survive the next two weeks, with the kids at home haha

Cute page and I need to get some of those cookies. Very yummy and fun.
A cookie decorating party sounds like so much fun! I think I will bake up some cookies with my kids and have our own cookie decorating party. What a neat tradition to start.
Brr, that is so cold! Too cold for me! I’m in Texas and I find 40 cold.
I love decorating cookies! We’ll be doing that this weekend.

It was raining in California, so just indoors. Less than two weeks left for Christmas feeling the pressure to finish everything.
Love to read your blogs, whenever I can.
The cookies you decorated look amazing! I love frosted cookies– especially at Christmas time.

Looks like you had a fun weekend! I can’t wait to make cookies with my kids.
I hear ya. We had our first snow storm on Sunday I had to bust out the snow boots today. A cookie decorating party sounds so fun though! What a great idea when you’re stuck indoors.

I’ll tale cookies anyway I can get them–but if I had a choice I’d probably grab the unfrosted ones. I really did not do much this weekend either–it felt good and made my cat very happy.

13 degrees sounds wonderful <— call me crazy! I live in Florida and I HATE it! I want a winter. It's December 13th, and the temperature today calls for shorts and tshirts. 🙁 We went to Indiana a few years ago over Thanksgiving and it was snowy and the real feel was in the single digits, I loved every second.
And that’s what Christmas is all about…having fun and making a little mess 😉 We had our first snow fall of the season which was exciting. I’m looking forward to the holiday break…I’m in desperate need of a few days to relax on the couch and watch cheesy holiday movies! Have a wonderful winter break dear. xo, Catherine
