Molasses Cookies & Snow

"Before the fruits of prosperity can come, the storms of life need to first bring the required rains of testing, which mixes with the seeds of wisdom to produce a mature harvest.” 

― Lincoln Patz

Ok so lots of stuff today. First off it's snowing in Vancouver.... pretty hard at the moment. It's a dream come true mixed with a apocalyptic feel, since us Vancouverites don't see it very often and really stop functioning as soon as we do.  I couldn't even drive to work this morning there were soooo many accidents. 

Also I NEED a vacation. like really badly. anyone else ever feel this way, when they are starting to get really close to a vacation. All of my mind functions start breaking down. 

So whats one to do when they are unable to drive any where and feeling burnt out. In my opinion relax and bake cookies. So that is what I did this afternoon while wrapping presents. Happy Holidays!!!!!
