it is now 4:25 am

I have been awake since 3:07. Bill and the dog are sleeping soundly, at least Bill is and the dog is just too lazy to get up. I finally got up and made myself some hot chocolate and turned on the computer.
I have this Amish cinnamon bread , which is more like a cake. It is one of those friend ship recipes, that every 10 days you need to find a friend who hasn't been gifted with some of the batter. It is more of a cake loaf than a bread loaf and is very good. I bought some small foil loaf pans to make this batch in so I can freeze some of it. That darn Gail has inspired me to do some Christmas baking this year. She has her Christmas preparations all planned out so that she is done by Dec.21. Wish I could get that organized. I think the problem is that I am easily distracted .
There was a nice surprise in the mail today................ make that yesterday ................. a siggy from Germany. I will post a photo tomorrow .......... no make that later today. I will eventually feel sleepy enough to go back to bed. I am real cranky if I don't get enough sleep ..........VBG ........................ and my brain doesn't work at all.
