cookie recipe just for kristina :)

WARNING: THESE ARE ADDICTING

Chocolate Chip Cookies

From the Daily Bite blog

½ c. butter
½ c. high-quality tub margarine (like Smart Balance)
¾ c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. flour (I used around 2 3/4 cups of flour instead IF i didn't use the 1/2 cup margarine and just used a cup of butter. )
¾ tsp. salt
¾ tsp. baking soda
1 12-oz. bag chocolate chips

Cream together butter, margarine, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Add to creamed mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolate chips. Doesn't your heart just skip a beat? Is it sad that mine does?

Drop onto cookie sheet by tablespoon.

You should get 12 cookies per cookie sheet

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Naturally, you want to keep an eye on them because every oven is different. Makes about 4 dozen.

Allow to cool for a few minutes on the pan and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.

okay okay okay!

okay bree this is for you. This past weekend i went to go get a pedicure (one of my all time favorite things to do) and i was really cautious on where to go because i'm really picky! i only like megan from the nail forum and dont trust anyone else! reason being... i get ripped off! well i asked for rhinestones...six little itty bitty, rhinestones and what do they charge me? 9 freaken bucks! rip off! note to self: do not get a pedicure at university mall. but afterwards i got a massage from my sister-in-law who is going to massage therapy. it was so relaxing! its awesome to know that i dont have to spend $110 dollars now to get a massage. thank you juanique! besides that, my weekend was pretty uneventful. Conryd and I were called to primary this sunday, Conryd thinks its the churchs "birth control" plan. He could be right :) Oh yes, one thing i forgot to mention about this past weekend was that i baked some chocolate chip cookies, and well, thanks to carly my hubby and i are completely addicted to the cookie recipe i stole from Carly's blog. We (also his family) finished 4 dozen cookies in less than 2 days! and i'm still craving more! our apartment is still in renovation mode...who knows how much longer it will be?! we've given up on cleaning the place because it seems like every time we clean it, it just becomes dusty (From the remodeling) 2 seconds later. so we quit! We took our dog, Dezzi, to the groomers today and here are some pictures of her now. We had her cut short, but didnt know she'd end up looking like a drowned rat! everything on her body is so unproportioned (spelling, not even sure if thats a real word). but she was the runt of the pack, her heads too big for her body, her legs are too short for her torso, her eyes are too big for her face and her tongue is too long for her mouth. anyways, this is her now



So yep, thats our dog! shes sometimes smart but mainly dumb as dirt. we love her...sometimes! well thats all i want to blog about. Love you all, miss you bree! good night

and a few more...
