oatmeal cranberry cookies

Meant to post earlier but my computer monitor up and died on me. I think I even heard a tiny screech right before it turned white and then completely black. Oh the sadness. This is especially heartbreaking since I had that monitor properly calibrated and profiled by a photographer friend (he has some hardware that will do that).

Today, I picked up a monitor from my brother in law who kindly offered to loan it to me. Very much appreciate it but the monitor is sorta off. Not sure what I'm going do.


sigh.

double sigh.


Today I offer you a oatmeal cranberry cookie. The weather is dreary and damp, fall is fast approaching, children are going to school and gosh darn it, an oatmeal cookies seems like the perfect comfort food to make everything seem ok.

It doesn't totally ease the broken monitor issue but not even chocolate dipped chocolate will do that.

triple sigh.
