This week has been an extremely busy one for me as I am almost done my program so the assignments are getting loaded on. Top that with the fact that I leave for vacation in 2 days and you can imagine the chaos that is my life this week. Not that I am not thrilled to be going away but getting ready for that alone seems to be consuming quite a bit of my time. There is a light at the end of this stress tunnel though and it is called Mayan Riviera. In two days from now I will be escaping the freezing winter and laying on a beach with a beverage in hand. I believe in life there has to be a balance of stress and stress relievers or people would just internally combust. So with all thats been going on I still had to find time to make some cookies and because I was short on time this week I made one of my personal favourites which are not only delicious but very fast to make. I call them peanut butter kisses and they are bite size, which also makes you feel less guilty about eating more then one because I doubt you'll be able to eat just one. I also have a blog site posted that will help you with stress relief if your life is chaotic like mine usually is. Hope you enjoy!
