Never been so happy to not get a ticket

I decided, kind of at the last minute, that I'd like to go see The Nutcracker, this year - only the tickets are all sold out, through Christmas. This probably ought to be frustrating, except our annual Nutcracker production (which is amazing, and incorporates a lot of cajun and creole tradition) is put on by inner city kids (coached by professionals), and the procedes go to fund music and dance classes through BREC for kids who can't afford them. So, when I saw all the tickets were sold out, I was very briefly disappointed, and then realized it was actually kind of awsome. 

I'm doing my holiday baking today, so again, if anyone wants any, leave a note with your address in my post from a week or two ago.

ETA: It just occured to me some of you might be interested in this page, which is where I found my Trepak. ^_^

cookies!

Just finished my baking and will mail out tomorrow. I'm trying to make a card, now. My (mom's) printer is shot and won't print worth a crap, though. I may wind up at kinko's tomorrow. I had a near disaster when I realized someone (probably sister) had gotten into one of my ingredients and ALL BUT LICKED THE BLOODY JAR. *huff* This is what I get for shopping in advance. 

Anyway, if you think your batch doesn't include quite enough chocolate hazelnut, you'll know who do blame. 

*nom nom nom* tasty!
