is this a bad sign?

so, the girls and i decided to bake some cookies this morning. (butterscotch oatmeal for those who are curious.) i get all the ingredients into the bowl, plug in my hand mixer and get to mixing. seriously, 3-4 minutes later i say to the girls "what is the deal, these are not mixing very well (or not at all!) i look down and see i never put the beaters into the mixer. it might be a long day around here.

Oh, I love it. I hate those days.

(Not that this is the point of the story at all, but you are talking a hand mixer that you hold the whole time, rather than the automatic kind that sits on your counter, right? Because that is really really funny. So were you sticking the hand part into the batter? I know, annoying details but I'm just trying to picture how you were doing this.)

yes, though i long for a counter mixer..it was a hand mixer and yes i was pressing it down into the batter. does is make me look less stupid if i tell you i had not had any coffee yet??

glad to hear from you...how is seattle?

that is even funnier now that I can picture it. It does help that you hadn't had coffee yet. One time when Eli was about a month old I came seconds from filling the coffee pot with orange juice instead of water before I started brewing it.

Seattle is good! We are still settling in though.
