Wanted: six dozen cookies
Princess Boredom and I have been invited to Cookie Exchange this Saturday morning (December 11th, 10:30 a.m., brunch to be served) at the home of one of her friends from school. This girl is in gymnastics with her and we carpool with the mom, who seems pretty cool. We'd really like to go.

I've called on the grandparent contingent to provide babysitting for the younger princesses (who are not invited; cool mom is exporting her two younger girls for the party as well), so I'm hoping child care is taken care of.

What I need help with is a nifty cookie recipe. See, we're supposed to bring six dozen of our favorite Christmas cookies. Um. My cookie repertoirs is quite thin -- but I'd still like to bring something yummy and unusual. Any ideas? (Rum is probably right out...unless I bring a few just for the moms.)

Possible bonus: I am hoping that attendance will get me in touch with the mothers of some neighborhood families who have babysitters on staff.


Wanted: one babysitter
Princess Boredom's first gymnastics meet of the season is on Saturday, December 18th (aptly called the Snowflake Meet). I don't have a solid time yet, but her group usually goes early in the day -- needing to be at the gym for 8 a.m. or so, then finishing up by 11:30 a.m.

The grandparents are invited to this extravaganza of sparkling, bouncing girls, so it would not work to ask them to babysit. It's also important to her that one of the parental units be present for the meet, but agrnmn will be working; zylch will be at work and is therefore unavailable for tike patrol. Are there any volunteers to keep Princesses !Kaboom and Sticky entertained/alive for a few hours? I am willing to barter some favors in exchange for this service.

Have your people call my people if you can help. Smooches,
me

You know, that just might work. I've discovered that she's competing later in the day than I thought -- we need to be at the gym for 11 a.m. and then ought to be home by 4 p.m.

That means you'd get naptime (or not, depending on the activity level...). Are you still game?

That sounds groovy, then. Wow. Babysitting arranged more than a week ahead of time. Somebody stop me.

I won't get to see much of you, but if your schedule permits when we return from the meet, maybe we could share a cup o'tea and chat a bit.

I'll take this to email now. Thank you!
