It's official-I'm moving in 2 weeks and I have nothing packed. My apartment that I love so dearly looks just as lived in as it did last week. This is not good. I have SO much stuff! How does that happen in only 2 years?? Oh yeah, because I'm a borderline hoarder. No, I don't have any awesome tips on organizing and "getting it together"...I just have a new cookie recipe that distracted me this afternoon when I should have been "getting it together." The cookie itself is pretty basic-sugar, flour, butter, vanilla...but I cleaned out my cupboards a bit (see, I tried to clean!) and added chopped prunes and walnuts. The frosting was last minute when I found chocolate chips and powdered sugar after I had put the cookies in the oven. I'm glad I found them because the frosting really make the cookies look fancy!! Enjoy, and send me good vibes for packing...maybe I'll "get it together" tomorrow?
