Almost done

The cookies are baked and I've piped on the edging of the royal icing. Tomorrow night we will do the flooding icing, thinned down royal icing that will flood the cookie, but stay within the piped edging, then add some sprinkles, colored sugar or whatever and we are done! I think all in all, we did at least 12 dozen cookies. The sugar cookies are the only ones that we will decorate. The whipped shortbread are a pretty fragile, melt-in-your mouth kind of cookie. They are just so yummy. I did do a new recipe of choco chip cookies for Sean - blech! I don't like them at all, although they everyone else in the house seems to love them and now they are almost gone.

In other news, the light is back on! The neighbors weren't here until today, and now after the light being out for a week and half, it is back on. ARGH!!! Tomorrow is the date that we are supposed to pay them the $900 (fat chance!), and since we haven't heard from them, we don't know if they are planning to continue with a lawsuit or not. We will see!

For something totally unrelated to anything at all: For some reason our bathtub drain has been very slow for about the past week or so and this weekend it stopped draining all together. Plain ole bleach wasn't doing anything for it. So I picked up some Liquid Plumber Power Jet and figured I'd give it a try. We had to block up the overflow drain thing, so I try to keep that in place while Pete did the Power Jet thing - even with me holding it tight, water shot out of the overflow drain and we were like, oh well, that couldn't have worked --- but we were shocked when he removed the container and the water flowed right down the drain - good as new! Neither of us could believe it! We looked at the ingredients and there aren't even any ingredients listed, the only danger disclaimers were about the contents being under pressure -- could it just be air and/or water??? I dunno, but it worked amazingly!
