Today I had surgery, and as a result, I am fairly immobile for the next several days. Two positive things result from this. First, I got a super-cool ice pack that ties around my abdomen and is reminiscent of the fanny-pack days of the beloved 80′s, so at least I can recover in style. And second, I can have a few legitimate days off from work!
The best cure in my opinion for post-surgery discomfort is…COOKIES! That’s right, cookies. After a long afternoon of napping I decided to make peanut butter cookies from a recipe I found in my mom’s recipe box a while ago. I liked these very much.

I hope you are feeling all right despite having had surgery! your cookies look fabulous.
I hope you start feeling better soon. The owl and the squirrel are equally adorable!
I hope you feel better soon and recover quick! =) Cookies are a perfect treat, hehe.
I agree with Romina– the cookies look like the perfect “get-well” snack.
As for my Easter dress, I WISH I were talented enough to have made it by hand! I can sew a little, but am nowhere near good enough to make a pretty dress!
those cookies look yummy and beautiful. i hope they take good care of you. :) get well soon!
Hope the cookies help you on a speedy recovery!!! Get lots of rest.
Love your little adopted owl!!
Awwwh ! You’re so cute. ^^ I love that owl.
I love taking pictures of animals. I was driving with my mom today and we saw a bunch of ducks in the pond and I stopped to take pictures. :)
I reaaally recommend the cupcakes! I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the inside – they were so moist.
What a perfect way to spend Earth Hour, too ! I wish I could’ve been doing that rather than working at Timmies. Uuugh.
That squirrel looks like he loves your cookies. Hope you have a good recovery.
awww! that is such a cute squirrel! yummy cookies too ^_^
I hope you feel better soon! You’re right, there’s no better than cookies for a cure! ;)
