I just saw an article with a heading that read “We have already been contacted by aliens and we are not ready for whats to come.” Really? You don’t think so, huh? After this year it will take a lot more than aliens to shock us. We had murder hornets and didn’t even flinch. My Chaos Bingo Card is completely blacked out and I didn’t even break a sweat. Sit down Aliens, and wait your turn.

If you would like the recipes for the Christmas cookies I made this year for my friends and family, you can get all the details on my other blog Pollen Patch by clicking here. It is still a work in progress, but I thought it would be fun to share with my Book Basset friends. Happy Tuesday!
