Dec. 15th, 2011 09:04 amThings I did yesterday:
- bought Christmas present for my father (magazine subscription)
- bought Christmas present for my sister (Amazon wish list item)
- almost bought present for my mother, but I need to check her car first to make sure it'll work
- went to hairdresser's, called up picture of Boomer from BSG on my phone, said "like that but shoulder length"; got it done
- fifty crunches in one session OH GOD WHY
- twenty 'bicycle' ab exercises AGAIN OH GOD WHY
- found two good baked beans recipes starting from dried beans, one of which involves coffee for that extra cowboy flavour
- discovered that oat bran sesame sticks are a cruel cruel joke when there is no salt involved
- confirmed that yes, the guy on LinkedIn with the unusual first name and the Marine Corps in his employment history and the technical background was in fact the gunnery sergeant I had as a penpal back in the first Gulf War
- got an order in for all the stuff I'll need to make miniature Beef Wellingtons for the Christmas party my dad's family is having on Saturday, assuming the puff pastry thaws in time
- discovered that my nephew has somehow picked up the habit of saying 'please hold' before turning away from the phone to talk to someone on his end- at age six
And some other stuff but that's most of it, I think.
