i did an ok job of baking cookies but then amy told me about a family friend who always makes many cookies, and this time she made 17 kinds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>uh huh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>so,

leaf through a single one, and finally chucked the whole lot into the recycle at around march or april.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for some reason i made good progress on the catalogs this years, and one catalog in particular delighted me.  it&#8217;s called <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.femailcreations.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.femailcreations.com\/<\/a>, and so many of the things were tea towels or whatever printed with really funny sayings.  there are plenty of things with sayings, but i laughed out loud at many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>here are just a couple.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\"
