Twas the Night Before Christmas

- Christmas Baking
- I searched for brownie recipes and found Christmas Cookies. I made Pecan Pie Bars and Linda Léone's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Both turned out well though I'd forgotten that with our smallish kitchen and one set of mixing bowls and measuring cups you keep having to clean up after yourself when you do baking.
- Cut my nose
- I was bending over the lip of the trunk to lift out a box from the car and hit my head (softly mind you) on the trunk lip. By reflex I ducked and cut my nose on the edge of one of those stiff plastic packages they put electronic stuff in. Finally resorted to a steri-strip to stop the cut from bleeding.
- Younger son opened a couple of presents
- Even at 18 years he wanted to continue the tradition of opening "just one" present on Christmas Eve. Later he went to bed early — he's been busy at the grocery store for the last few days. Usually he would get a bit of time during his shift to "relax" in the back room but not at Christmas.
- Hubbo Stats
- According to my automatic awstats site statistics there's been over 4600 visitors to the site this year and almost 8,000 visits, serving over 0.5 Gbyte. Way to go everybody! Some slow day I will have to report some of the bizarre search expressions that end up here.
