a dying breed

Yesterday I got together with some girlfriends and we did something that I believe (and have been told) is something very rare these days. Now, it's something I don't understand, I just kinda assumed all girls did this kind of stuff, or atleast most of the girls I know!! Could we be part of a dying breed?

We baked until 11pm last night. There were four of us, and between all of us, we made (atleast) 6 dozen beautifully decorated (deliciously tasting) christmas shaped sugar cookies, about 4 dozen ginger cookies, 3 dozen butter tarts, and atleast 4 dozen chocolate cream-cheese filled cupcakes (oozing with chocolatey gooey goodness!). So now I'm glad to say that the majority of our christmas baking is done, it's all in the freezer waiting to be brought out for the holidays (that is, if my sister and I don't eat it all first!). It was so nuts, there was food everywhere, flour everywhere, I sat in some sort of chocolate stuff that had dripped on a chair and my butt was sticky, we had the tv on channel 18 ( the one with the christmas carols playing and the fireplace crackling). And we laughed and laughed over the absurdest things! And we nibbled so much on the things we were making that I swear my teeth had a inch of sugar on them by the time we left! Long live the dying breed of the bake-tastic 20-somethings!
