Craziness before Christmas

Yesterday was my piano/voice recital. Please don't ask me how it went. In my opinion, it didn't go so great, but the residents at the nursing home where we performed thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. My favorite part was seeing them tapping the rhythms on the armrests of their wheelchairs and nodding their heads to the tunes. =)

I'm doing the prelude music at our church's Christmas Eve service. Which means more practicing and arranging and hectic-ness.

And I'm also making cookies. =) Gingerbread, chocolate-brown sugar-saltine cracker-butter bark, and peppermint bark I cranked out on Monday. Yesterday I made dough for sugar cookies and I'll bake them today.

Gee, I really wish I could leave you all with something entertaining or profound or interesting. But my wrists are absolutely kiiiillllliiiinnnngggg me.

Actually, pain is a pretty interesting topic. So let's see. Yesterday I had a splinter in my foot, right where I press on the piano pedals. It felt like I was stomping on a needle every single time I pressed on the pedal or walked, and at first I had no clue what it was. As soon as I discovered the tiny little fragment of wood I operated with a sewing needle. It was ridiculously hard to get that thing out!

I think I'm going to gain five pounds before New Years. So many cookies!

I love cookies. I think my favorite are my mom's lemon bars. They are addictive. I would share, but I can't. So sorry. =)
