Lost skills (or talents that I never had)

As I've been studying, I've been thinking about all the other things that need to be done around the apartment and all the other things that I used to do before law school. I wish I had a clone that could do the grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. A couple days ago my neighbors brought over a plate of cookies and a snowflake. It's a kind of holiday pass-it-on game. Now I tape the snowflake to our door, cut out a new snowflake, whip up some fabulous baked goods, and pass the treats and snowflake on to another neighbor. It's a fun way to celebrate the holidays with neighbors, but I haven't had time to bake anything for weeks. I've been considering picking up some cookies at Smith's and making them look cute on a festive plate. Now I just have to make it to Smith's.

Speaking of baked goods, here is a fabulous picture of my last baking attempt:
I bought some cinnamon bread dough from Market Square to try to make some pull-apart rolls. My sister had bought some dough earlier, and after I bought the dough, my brother-in-law told me that their dough wouldn't rise. So I didn't have high hopes for my rolls, but as you can see, they rose to the occasion. They look like they're trying to escape the pan. I guess I don't really miss baking things that much, they never quite turn out the way I expect.

Oh well, I guess pursuing a career as a baker is not in my future. Law school must have been a good choice. Wouldn't it be great if there is a fantastic baker lurking deep inside Garrett? While his baking skills could probably use a little work, he has great heating up frozen pizza skills. I don't think we'd ever eat if it wasn't for his mad food procuring skills. He also handles a vacuum cleaner like a pro. So even though our laundry probably won't get totally done for a couple more weeks, Garrett helps me feel like entropy isn't completely taking over every aspect of our lives during finals. Speaking of finals...back to Contracts!
