I love the post I just put up on my website at Adobe Soup. You might like it too - but it's primarily photographs, and they look much better over there than they do here, so I'm just giving you the link instead of the dumbed-down version (though the pic above is my adorable Simone, as a teaser).
You can get to it by clicking this: Adobe Soup Version

Happy Wednesday (or Trash Day, as we know it here at Casa de Swell).
Peace,
Candace

What a beautiful website. Very impressed. (And trust me, I'm way picky with sites.) Is it a WordPress site, I wonder?
Happy Trash Day to you too! (Happy Recycling Day for the people of Long Beach Island.)
I am trying very hard to get my head wrapped around BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT and not eating cookies (so many) and exercising (more) and thinking HEALTH. but I'm SUCH a slug.
and here you are with your cookies, miss candistopheles.
joanie, she absolutely is. xoxo
beth: i'm *so* glad you went and liked it, websitestress woman. yes, it's on the wordpress platform, designed by a fabulous woman in philly, beth blinebury. oh, and it's trash/recycle/green pickup day here too!
monkey, i'm so sorry, really i am, about the cookies and putting calories on your ass and all. hah! not really. eat one! or two! then run around outside like a good monkey. so glad to see you at adobesoup, woman. thank you a million for signing up!!
mamato3, she is, isn't she? just can't kiss that face enough times. thanks for stopping by!
thanks, christine! i'm glad you do! see you soon. :)
ohhhhhh...................
Wonderful take on the whole Holiday Cookies deal, Candace. I love cooking and baking -- but I really, REALLY don't like my current kitchen. Too small, layed out poorly, no counter space to speak of and only a single four burner stove top.
Where's my double oven, eight burner wide stove top with stove length griddle in the middle?
In my dreams, I tell ya.
Don't even get me started on wondering where my personal kitchen helper is...

What, no Kansas? :(
It's trash day in my neighborhood too!
thanks, greenie! see you around!
you're the best, marlene.
you're welcome, jeanette! wasn't it sweet?
same to you, larry!
joan, i could make a DC cookie in a heartbeat. next batch ...
thanks, jules. she is truly adorable, that kid.
dr. ziggy, i agree.
BP: yep, they are. careful, though, or you'll eat a hundred of them.
dunn, get moving on those trash cans right this second. it may be too late!
thanks, erica! she is, for sure.
happy trash day!
1. Happy Granddaughter

R and hugggs.
