Gingerbread Update
Came out meh. I don't think they baked all the way through--not gooey, but not quite done--and they just don't taste as good as the store-bought dough did (of course, since everything tastes better with high fructose corn syrup!). I think for my next batch I will see if Alton Brown has a gingerbread recipe, because his sugar cookies came out really well.
Scott decorated a gingerbread man-monster with fangs, a missing leg/gangrenous stump, and a bloody red boot. I did a sugar cookie snowman in the style of Jackson Pollack. Zweeble did a star with spots, and made the colors balance out and everything. His was actually the nicest of our creative endeavors.

Ohh, I have cleaning to do, as usual. After a morning of errands--post office, library, playground, gas for the car--I need to steam clean the kitchen floor, scrub toilets, wrap presents ... and collapse, maybe?
It is warming up, though, so that's good.
Pure Silliness
For all you Captain Jack fans out there, John Barrowman singing ... the theme to Doctor Who! Because it makes me laugh.
