Transformation: Complete
I didn’t eat or sleep or poop during the majority of finals week, so I made plans to cleanse my insides as soon as I got home. I thought leaving the 14th would give me at least a good four and a half days of healthy eating before my mom started churning out the holiday cookies. But no. As soon as I hopped into my mom’s car, she told me she had a surprise for me. That surprise was two batches of double chocolate brownie crack patties disguised as cookies.
Since then it’s been a nonstop cookie party in the Bernard household. Everything I own is covered in powdered sugar, and I could probably keep my dry hands moisturized for the rest of winter with the amount of butter wrappers lying around. My mom is just an unstoppable force of baking right now. What am I supposed to do? Not eat the cookies? For one, there are starving children in Russia who would kill for a cookie. For two, I’d hate for my mom to think her work is going to waste. I kinda like her and want her to feel like a valuable member of this fine organization (a.k.a. our family).
But now I feel like a pile of refried beans. Sometimes I force myself to eat a banana just to feel alive again. It works…for a little while. But there will always be more cookies for me to eat.
Always.
Baking is always so cool. I love baking during Christmas. I’d die to bake with your mum. She sounds really cool when it comes to baking. :3
Merry Christmas! :)
You speak of all the deliciousness your mom as baked in the world, yet you choose not to post any pictures of them?!
If her cookies look anything like your current doodle, I think I’d pass on it. It has legs, man, and I don’t think it looks very happy to be a Christmas cookie.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Gabi!
Your mom sure does a lot of baking! I wish my mom was the same. She’s always busy and I’ve never tasted any food that she cooked. She told me she used to cook when she was younger, but I’ve never tasted any food she cooked or have I even seen her cook. Hah I like your mom XD
It’s also very kind of you to make your mom feel good by not letting her cookies go to waste ^_^
That is just about the most depressing cookie I have ever seen!
But ah sugar cookies! They are the bane to my diet’s mere existence. Thank jeebus the holidays are close to being over and I can be free from sugar cookies.
Sounds like I am in good company! I’ve eatin so many oatmeal pies, honey buns, and star crunch pies that i just CANT any more…so went to chips ahoy :) I’m being a total fatass this semester. I blame it on stress.
Your mom is on the roll with baking delicious goodies! I honestly wish I had the patience and skills to bake. I’ve really had a taste for cake pops recently.. Never had them but they look very tasty!
I hope you start feeling alive again! Christmas will be here in two days :) Maybe that will lighten your day up some!
