Taking my new role seriously

I made myself laugh today... really laugh. I asked Chris to pick up a mop on his way home last night because I felt that our vacuum was just not picking up the dust. Granted, I am new at this, I've never been a stay at home kind of girl... so today, I unwrapped the mop... and began looking for instructions! How do I use this thing? Have I really never used a mop before? I found this hard to believe... but it's true - I've never mopped and I don't know how to. I will google it.

In the kitchen I have made much progress. I joked with Christine that I started calling myself Martha. My not so ginger bread cookies where a hit! Next time I go home to Canada I will be sure to bring back some molasses so I can make the proper kind . I made the Danish version, honey cookies. Check them out:



We are getting ready for the holidays, the tree is up (and it has real candles) and my advent calendar is more than half way eaten (organic fair trade chocolate, thank you Chris!) and there is snow on the ground. It's also really cold out - my bike will stay exactly where it is today. I think I will take the bus to my Jule party tonight.
