The spirit of Christmas has roped me into all sorts of chores through the years.

I was an elf for Cassie’s  play. I’ve made so many last-minute shopping trips I can barely stand to see a mall anymore. I sat at an emergency vet clinic while Cassie’s dog had surgery. And yes, I was even a reindeer one year for Charlie’s holiday… thing. I still shudder at the sound of those little jingle bells.

So I was understandably less than thrilled when Cassie asked me for another favor.

Of  course, being the complete sucker that I am, I still said yes before she elaborated, already imagining more tights and tiny bells.

So imagine my surprise when she told me she needed a judge for a baking contest, and no costume was required. I totally thought she was pulling my leg. I was expecting a last minute change of plans – right up until tonight, when I sampled more types of pie and cake than I knew existed.

I mean, who knew Girl Scouts did that?

I certainly didn’t. Tell you what though: I don’t mind missing The Simpsons for this.

Yeah, it’s a rough job, but somebody’s got to do it.

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it, mum!

Have another on the way. Did another random word prompt.

And to keep writing! Slow is better than not at all. *hug*
