Boredom

One may ask, "Why would you make American Flag desserts in November?"  The answer is simple, boredom.  I'm not talking about that kind of boredom where you are just plain lazy and you can't think of anything possibly better than watching TV.  I'm talking about BABY BOREDOM.  My wife is tired. VERY TIRED.  I have to be honest, I can't blame her.  I can think of nothing worse than a foreign object that decides to grow (at an exponential rate mind you) inside of you, while also deciding that it might be a good idea to kick, jerk, and lodge itself wherever it seems fit.

All of this discomfort is extremely hard for me to watch.  I feel so bad that my wife feels the way she does and I have no objections to her sitting and sleeping all day.  All of this sitting around does cause a very inconvenient problem for me though.  It's like asking a bike messenger to take up a desk job, it's just not in my nature.  So tonight, at around 8 PM, I gave up the notion that I had to be up at 5:15 AM for work and I made cookies (in the shape of brownies) that look like American Flags.  My wife's best work friend became an American citizen today.  That may not seem like a big deal to most of us, but for her this was a dream come true.

So I thought it would be nice for her work crew to sit around and be proud Americans today.
