chocolate crinkle cookies... and a boot!

I'm competitive.  Like crazy insane competitive. I try to keep it under control, but sometimes it just eats me alive.  One reason why I cook is for the love that people give that comes along with it.  So when I go to a party and someone else has brought something tastier than my dish, I get less love.

My friends had a little get together a couple of months ago and this tramp (not really, she was super nice) brought these sexy good chocolate crinkle cookies, which totally trumped my... I don't even remember what I made!  ha!  But I remembered the cookies.

so I looked up a recipe on Pinterest.

they were just as I remembered.

delicious.

here's the pin.

In other news, I developed a stress fracture last night.  ugh.

It is located in the 4th metatarsal of my right foot and I can hardly put any pressure.

Phooey!!!

I was really hitting my running stride!

okay now let's take another look at those beautiful cookies.

mm, mm, mm.

holy crap

we went on a float trip this weekend with a group of friends... I thought tubing was supposed to be relaxing???

rocks hurt.

I also have a huge, awesome bruise on my left cheek (not the one on my face), but a little too pornographic for the blog.

In other news, we were watching Hoarders the other night and as the camera was scanning the "hoard" of a man's house, we saw this....

thank goodness for DVR and the ability to rewind and pause so I can take a picture...

She's on the phone and on the throne?  yes. she. is.

boot-ilicious!

so I got this hip little boot today due to a stress fracture on the top of my foot...

sassy.

my face looks crazy... trying out my balance since I felt so lopsided.

at least I can still do yoga.... sorta.
