I have a box of oatmeal and decided that cookies would be nice. There is a recipe for “Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies” under the lid – and that sounded easy enough. I checked the cupboards and pantry and actually had all the ingredients on hand. So I made a batch and they are awesome! To be honest, I’ve never baked cookies in my life but these were easy – I can do this!
As I’ve been building my play lists on Spotify, I have been trying to think of all the great songs that I used to listen to on the radio as a teen. There is not much about music on most of the regular start pages like Yahoo.com with links to everything else under the sun. But I did find a list of Hot Hits on the Billboard.com web site and it did bring up a lot of memories.
I am not in agreement with their ranking of the top hits of all time, but I’m sure they had a particular method to determine them. Sadly, I don’t agree with any of their top 10 hits of all time list. Who in their right mind would pick Chubby checker’s “The Twist” as the number one top hit of all time? Seriously?
So, here it is – 2012. I can’t believe we are twelve years into the new millennium already! Holy cow!
Thinking back on 2011, there was a lot going one – some good, some bad. I have high hopes for 2012. We might be getting a new president in the November elections and surely the economy will start getting better.
Happy New Year to all my family and friends!
This time of year is when some of the fast food places sell their eggnog flavored milkshakes. I am a big fan of the eggnog shakes, but I can’t afford the extra sugar and calories. But to celebrate the holidays I will allow myself one or two eggnog milkshakes before Christmas. I am heading to the Steak ‘n Shake this afternoon for their “Happy Hour” deal of buy one and get one free. anyone else want to go with me for an eggnog milkshake? Since I’m getting one, yours is free!
