mia

sorry i've been M.I.A lately. i guess i must be busy or something. we did go to NC to get some wedding stuff done and for our parents to meet. all went well. this isn't a wedding blog, so i won't go into details, but we got loads done, lots of questions answered, and i feel like i can move on to finish planning.

now we're home, and i've been working in the garden, and doing stuff around the house. no great shakes, but just getting stuff done that needs to be done.

one thing i did do this weekend was make cereal cookies. they are quite possibly my FAVORITE cookies in the world. and they are loaded with fat. i'll post the recipe later today or tomorrow. but warning, they have a cup of butter AND a cup of oil, so if you're looking for a low-fat cookie, this is not the place for it. they are JUST the cookies a girl should eat that is getting married in four months. yeah. that's it.

enjoy.
