Can I halve the recipe?
Totally. But, warning, you end up with less cookies.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm OK with fewer cookies for the moment--I plan to make more (cookie exchange at work!) soon, and will need to restock ingredients anyway.

Got home, and I only have half a stick of butter. Can I halve the recipe?
Do you have anything else in the shortening family?

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Thanks so much, Aimée. I really appreciate it. I just keep thinking, "OK, she was stable enough to go straight to the OR. That's a good sign. And the surgeons were happy enough with the results of the surgery that they called in the plastics team to fix the cut on her forehead while she was still in the OR and under anesthesia. They wouldn't have done that if they were thinking of it as life or death thing, or if she wasn't tolerating the anesthesia." Y'know, a nurse pep talk.
But I still can't sleep.

Hurrah for Christmas booty!
(No, not that kind of booty. Shame on you!)
Yesterday I scored some L'Occitane goodies and a double packet of imported TimTam wafer biscuits.
Today I have a Christmas box of Hershey's toffeenut thingimabobs and two PotC figurines!!!! One of Cap'n Jack Sparrow, and the other of Davey Jones! Because one of my kids is the daughter of my awesome fellow geek co-worker!
Best. Christmas pressie. Evah.
(Oh, how I laughed at the people sporting Really Awful necklaces from the large family of kids whose mother's elegance belies the awfulness of her gifts. Yes, last year I was one of those people. This year - this year, I have Captain Jack!!!)

God, it's like 2007's determined to kick Buffista ass while is still can!
The sad thing is, I wouldnt' have gotten this as wordplay until you mentioned, and then I had to go "huh? OH!"
Well, I looked at it askance to start with - but he's all about the poetry and the wordgames, so after a moment I was all 'Aha! Clever!'

{{{Jen}}} Much ~ma to your friend. If it's any consolation, one of the basses in our choir had a similar accident this spring, and he's healthy and back on his bike now.
