25 December - What I'm Thankful for Today

I have an oops in my oven. I filled the loaf pans too high for the cake I made for tomorrow. I also needed to add to the timer. Good evening from a gray, non-white Christmas in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's not raining yet, but it's coming. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Merry Christmas. I have much to be thankful for today. I'm thankful for the six hours of sleep I got last night. I seriously thought about going back to bed at 3 this morning, but I knew I would only lie there and not get back to sleep. I'm thankful I got the notifications done early and twice today. It's good to see how those of you celebrating Christmas are celebrating or what you are doing in your corner of the myLot world. I'm thankful I got my Secret Santa gifts delivered early. I know it was only supposed to be one a week. I accidentally bought six gifts. So last week I gave her two and today the other two. I'm thankful for my friend down the hall. She gave me a wonderful Christmas present - a Grinch mug with a chocolate mug cake in it with the direction on the mug. It's perfect! I won't need to use the other mugs I have for it now. I love mug cakes. Have you made them? They're easy and perfect for one serving. I'm thankful my friend liked the Secret Santa gift, delivered to me, that I gave her. No, I don't like chocolate-covered cherries. I only had them in the apartment long enough to get them out the door. Regifting started early. I'm thankful for the quiet day. I tried to work on a book, but I soon closed two of them. I did read a book a friend gave me. Cross by Max Lucado. It's not a long book, but it is a wonderful book about the Cross. Okay, I'm waiting for the timer to go off on the cake. I set it for another 20 minutes. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I'm happy I have a job and a place to live. I'm happy for my cats. That's about it.

I was never much for the chocolate-covered cherries either. My daughter enjoys them.

I've never made a mug cake. I'm thankful that we had a nice dinner yesterday, a roof over our heads, etc.; and I'm happy that I have my husband to share these things with me. Hope your cake turned out. Have a good day.

Mug cakes are good, easy, and only one serving. It's a good way to keep your dessert under control. The cake tastes good. When I tried to take the first loaf out of the pan last night, it stuck to the bottom and didn't come out of the pan well. So, the other pan will go with today. Hopefully, we can slice it when we go to eat it today. Otherwise, it will be a spoon.

@LindaOHio It's delicious! I had a little when it fell apart getting it out of the pan last night.

I am thankful that George and I had a good Christmas. We spent it in rehab, and I spent all of three hours at home doing his laundry. Ironically that fell on a Monday. Laundry day. I am thankful any rain we had, did not happen while I was at home or traveling back and forth. Me and the laundry stayed dry. I am also thankful I found my way to the France tower cafe. The corridor isn't that difficult, and leads right into it.

Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas. I am thankful for the nice Christmas service we had this morning and a quiet day at home afterwards. Yesterday at Mike's house was loud, but nice.
