Feb. 19th, 2014
After that one night, I'm back to waking up many times during the night. I'm still dreaming about working. Last night I was working for Leo Laporte at TWIT.TV and trying to decide which chromebook to buy for work. I think it's time to go back to using Breathe Right strips.
Swimming was good this morning. It was crowded. In order to keep out of other swimmers' way, I kept going without stopping at all, even once, for about 3/4ths of a mile. By the time the lane cleared out and was finally mine, I was pooped! I finished up my mile and did a couple of extra laps. I traded in old goggles for new yesterday. New goggles are just heaven! It's like post cataract surgery all over again. The goggles I really like are not that expensive. One place had a special last November and I bought 4 pair. I'm going to start switching them out every 3 months. The joy of underwater clarity is so worth it.
Today's task is hair cut. My hair has finally gotten so that it looks nice with simple finger styling and I want to keep it that way. If it gets too long, the styling won't work. So today I fix that with a cut. I need to make a Costco run in the next week but I'm not quite up for it today.
My brother has all the bits and pieces and parts in for my new computer but not the case. The case won't be in until Friday. All the parts are now in a plastic bin in his shop. I can see it on the webcam. I was not planning on buying a new computer but now that I'm getting one, I'm quite excited. I have great plans for it. It will be so nice to have one that runs with no lag, one who's disc drawers open easily instead of by having to push/pull/swear, to have all USB ports that work, to have sound that doesn't crackle... Yep, it will be oh so nice. Plus, my computer area now looks barren and bleak.

My new favorite cookies
Feb. 19th, 2014 03:47 pmAn LJ entry of a friend of a friend and comments from other friends and some trial and some errors and some genius has led me evolve my new favorite cookie.
Yes, Toll House chocolate chip cookies might be a little better but the ease of these makes up for any delta.

My brother said my new computer case would not get to the shop until Friday. He lied. It got there today and Amy (his shop manager) has been building my new PC all day. It's been oh so fun to watch on the webcam. Some of the bits she holds up to the webcam so I can see - like the cool green light coming through the clear side of the case and the USB manual. Ha! I told her she could keep that for the shop. No manual is going to stop me from inserting wrong, turning over, inserting wrong again, lather, rinse, repeat until I get lucky.
She's already to the software part!

I did get my hair cut. I walked into the place and it was empty! Yeah. I told them I didn't care which stylist and they gave me Audra and she said "so you on your way to the pool or just back?" hahaha she did me last time and remembered. Nice. I think she did ok but, of course, I won't know for sure until after swimming tomorrow.
- One pie crust left at room temp for a while and rolled out onto cookie sheet.
- Brush liberally with melted butter.
- Cut into cookies (cookie cutter, knife or pizza roller all do fine).
- Dot with semi sweet chocolate chips.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 16 minutes.
