Just have to sprinkle salt on them before the cookie swap.

Guess this means I can brave Sephora tomorrow morn. Or sleep in. Choices.

Contrary to usual recommendations, I am getting rid of spoons. IE, I don't need 30+ teaspoons for a household of two people. I'm not sure how I even ended up with this many. I've also got far more forks and knives, bowls of various sizes, and plates. Anything chipped or cracked is getting tossed, anything in decent shape will get donated. I wonder if the homeless shelter can use them. I don't think they actually serve food there, but we'll see.

I need to buy beer and work on a beer reduction tomorrow for some gifts.

Cookie exchange was extremely fun. Good to see lots of people I was missing. I like feeling connected.

Despite not really having the time this week, seeing the peoples via wine night and next door tonight so totally worth it. Even if tonight was new peoples from the hood, good exercise.

Two batches of cookies baked. One batch made and will be made tomorrow plus another no-bake batch to be put together.

I got notice from my work cc company about some potentially fraudulent charges so I called the bank. A gas station in Canada and airfare to somewhere odd (don't remember) so they are cancelling my card and issuing a new one. They can get the new one to me Tuesday. I will be in SLC Tuesday. My flight is paid for so that isn't an issue. Just concerned about my car rental. Hopefully I can use my personal card to rent the car but pay for it with the new card when I return it. My main worry is that my card is a debit card. We will see.

That's annoying, Suzi. I hope your trip isn't affected.

Morning run wasn't as good as yesterday, only one airport run, but I'm quitting earlier because I'm attending a WordPress 'Hackathon' to collaborate on things.

I just stuck my fork in my coffee instead of my empanada.

I went out into the countryside with a neighbor to see the Geminid meteors last night. It was lovely! Cold, but we were dressed for it. We set our chairs on a decommissioned bridge and listened to the water rushing below as the stars fell overhead. Totally worth being out until after 2:30.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Braved Toys R Us yesterday for a gift for our friends' son, and a gift card for the neiblings. All the rest of the gift buying I need to do is online, so I can avoid the malls and such for a while.
