cookies and incognito laundry
I swear, I haven’t been slacking! I made belated Valentine’s cookies. They’re heart-shaped strawberry cookies, made with strawberry Nesquick. I frosted them with chocolate frosting and used my $10 professional* cake decorating kit to write random things (mostly inside jokes between my husband and me) in cream cheese frosting. They’re super delicious. The recipe made a million of them, so decorating a few cookies each day will probably be my “Daily Thing” until they run out.
* (I call it a professional cake decorating kit, because it uses frosting bags and random tips. That makes it professional. I could use parchment paper, but don’t wanna be precocious, now do I?)
This may have been a terrible idea. Frosting is my best friend and worst enemy. I have been eating that shit out of the can and sucking cream cheese frosting out of the application tips. I’m such a sweets junkie.
I’ve been doing other stuff, too. Lots of home decor.
We have a half-bath downstairs that also servers as the laundry room. Our washer and dryer are old and lack visual appeal, plus, who wants to pee beside a laundry area? So we got a fairly attractive tension rod (like for a shower) and two floor-length curtains. So NOW, when visitors need to relieve themselves in our home, they’ll just THINK they’re in a full bathroom. Haha, fooled YOU!
Before - entering a seemingly normal bathroom.
After - top-secret laundry area REVEALED!

LMAO I love the bathroom!!! That’s a super idea.
Remember being squooze up beside the washer when you had to pee in Ed’s trailer? TOO AWFUL… I don’t know if you experienced that or not, but it was bad.
Those are some very nice curtians. I like the color.
