I need excitement.
I need persistence.
Mostly though I need more sleep. And time with my husband.
Also- I need a good cookie recipe that everyone likes. Any suggestions?
Monday and Tuesday really take their tolls on us. Getting up at 5:30 AM and then going to bed after 10:30 two days in a row-- goodness my 20-something body can't take it.
I have a lot of work to do today. Good thing is I don't have to drive to campus. Bad news is I don't have the pressure to leave the house, therefore less pressure to start work early in the day.
I convince myself I have so much time, and then end up wasting a good chunk of it on the internet. Today will be different. Somehow. I know this isn't the most exciting or well-thought-out post, but I am writing this to hold me accountable. Because I know you care so much about how much work I do (Yes, that was sarcasm).
Here's the plan: publish this post and start work. And later look at your recipe suggestions. Seriously-- let me know of any good cookie recipes :)

I think your grandmother's recipe book is still at your parents' house, and there might be some cookie recipes in it. I'm pretty sure there are some old-fashioned candy recipes you could try!!! Paula
