Sunday, November 25th, 2007You can now access this blog by going to www.lucidgraphicdesign.com until I get something design/photography specific. I’m also working on a logo and materials for Lucid Graphic Design so those will be debuted here one of these days sooner then later. I know, I see the irony here, a graphic design business that doesn’t have a logo, business cards, etc. My plan: one step at a time. 
Happy AFTER Thanksgiving!
Sunday, November 25th, 2007Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and days off from work. Mine was good and bad.
The good: Visited with family and friends, ate yummy food, still eating leftover pumpkin pie (my favorite…I’m a pumpkin anything freak), got a nice TDay sale on a 50″ Samsung HDTV (you should have seen the drool dripping from JR’s head), did some black friday shopping without too much hassle, and got to “sleep in” 3 of the 4 days (read: sleep in until 7:00 a.m…woo hoo).
The bad: All of us have a cold, mine being the worst (of course). I’ve been blessed with many things in life, having a high tolerance to sickness is not one of them. If it’s “going around” I WILL get it.
I have only got 3 people left to buy for and all the other people’s gifts are already wrapped and under our Christmas tree. You know it! I put the Christmas decor up the day after Thanksgiving. Except JR can’t find what he did with our garland and outside lights box so we are sans house lights until it is located. I love Christmas time and having Natalie be into it this year really makes me excited for it. She LOVES the decorations on the tree, she spends a lot of time touching each one she can reach saying “ooohhh”.
Go Broncos!
Friday, November 16th, 2007Tomorrow is one of the biggest games for BSU. Not in terms of challenges, but in terms of rivalries! We play the University of Idaho tomorrow, which involves a lot of emotion. This is our biggest rivalry and has been for many, many, many years. In fact, even at work today we are all showing our love for the rivalry by sporting BSU or UofI colors. GO BOISE STATE!
Cookies!
Thursday, November 15th, 2007These are a favorite cookie at our house, so I thought I’d share!
Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk chocolate chips (I always add a little more then 1 cup)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla and egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the batter just until moistened. Mix in the oats and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop by tablespoonfuls on to lightly greased cookie sheets.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges start to brown. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
