Baking shenanigans

inanhourofdreamingI've been sleeping in my roommate's bed (with my sister, my two cats, and her dog -- don't ask) and my back is NOT loving the firmness of her mattress. My parents are coming in today to stay for a few days, so sister and I will be sleeping in my other roommate's room for the duration. Hopefully her mattress is softer.
Anyway, I couldn't sleep past 7 (I may be on vacation time but my cats most definitely are not) so I went ahead and fired up the oven to bake the scones I made the dough for Thursday night. I meant to be doing blueberry cinnamon but sister requested some chocolate chip. Well, I absolutely burnt the first batch because I completely forgot to account for the heat differential of using chocolate chips instead of frozen blueberries. Oh, well. Still ended up with about six good chocolate chip ones, and the rest are blueberry and in the oven now. I'll be keeping a more vigilant eye on them. Lesson learned.
Have still got a bit of cleaning to do before my parents get here. J called to demand that our apt be cleaned to her very demanding standards for guests (I confess, my standards are significantly more lax). I, however, bought them all the food they normally eat, plus I made my mother her favorite kind of soup and scones so...perhaps it evens out?
