reason #462 why I bake pumpkin spice cookies

#462 - The experience just settles me down and gives me comforting creativity when I feel overwhelmed with life in general. 

#463 - I enjoy the domestic process. 

#464 - The smell is incredible. 

#465 - They taste rediculiously yummy. 

#466 - It's a very easy recipe.  A box of spice cake mix, a can of pumpkin, a handful raisens, bake 350 for approx 15 mins.  cool, frost with can cream cheese frosting.  life is good.

#467 - They're low fat until I put frosting on them. (I always put the frosting on)

#468 - it takes the dampness of out house without turning the heat on in June.

#469 - Although there is no chocolate involved, it helps when I'm feeling the nasty effects of pms.  (I could of course, if necessary be wild and crazy and just add chocolate chips)

#470 -  The process often helps regain my sense of humor
