Working on cookies, driving & writing.

I'm spending the day working on my writing while I am waiting for my test cookies to bake and to cool down. I had to come home early from the Farm Market as I sold out of my cookies! I had none to sell but I did take suggestions from the people who came by to bring different cookies in next weekend which they'll buy from me.

I'm working on perfecting my peanut butter chip chocolate cookie so I can bring it to sell next week and I told them about my peppermint cookie that I am working on perfecting this weekend.

I have to make at least 30 dozen cookies of each if I get them perfected by next Friday morning. Then, I'll spend all of Friday evening baking them and letting them cool down till Saturday morning about 5:30am when I start wrapping them up in pairs to sell for $2 each. I may have a tin which has an assortment of flavors for $15.

I will of course have samples for everyone to taste before they decide which cookies they want to buy.

And on this past Wednesday, I went and took my written test for my learner's permit. I flunked the first test and the second test, I passed with only two questions missed. I now can go about with learning how to drive officially. The girl who was at the office was really helpful, she told me if I had a problem with one of the questions, leave it blank and she'll help me. And she did help me to pass the second round with only two missed questions.

The first lesson for me to do is backing out of the garage safely and then driving into it and stopping without being jerking with the brakes. When that is done perfectly the next step will be driving into the pasture and dealing with how to stop without being jerky about it. I'm a bit heavy footed when pushing the brakes. I don't ease the brakes to stop, I shove my foot on it and stop the vehicle fast and hard, thus the jerky motions.

I'm currently working on one of my fanfiction stories - The day love came into my life. It is going slow right now but that's because I'm a bit unsure on how Sesshomaru would react to the information that Kagome informed him about. When I figure that out, I think everything else will start flowing smoothly.
