Cranberry Pistachio Blondies. If it’s not too hot, I think I might make those this weekend.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

@carbolicious Did you see him on 30 Rock? LOVE.
Hall & Oates sing “Jingle Bell Rock”. http://bit.ly/6cMped (This one’s for @carbolicious.)
@twelveeyes Oh man! The Tramcar is a dream of mine. We need a review afterwards…
@ozgamer Dude, does ‘New Toy Syndrome’ last for 2.5 years? Because that’s a long time for a gadget.
@DianneKing They’re uncommon here but not unknown. In fact, I got some in a gift swap two weeks ago from an Aussie!
Re-redding the hair. I sit in a funk of ammonia and hair dye.

Hey Twitter. If you have a cleaner, do you tip them for Christmas? And how much? (We want to know if we’re cheapskates.)
@toastman W00t. Hahahaha… Okay, so I feel better now. Especially considering we have the SAME CLEANER.
@VenessaHunt See, my red hair makes me look much more interesting than I actually am. Opposite of your classy bob! 😛
Cleaner responses ranged from nothing to two weeks full pay + gift! Feeling better about my $20 and homemade cookies. Thanks everybody…
@bellsknits I got a thank you plus an SMS later saying how much her son was enjoying the cookies. Very sweet! Love our cleaner.
@VenessaHunt More like a bob CAN be boring, if the wearer needs camoflage. The red is harder to disguise.

Good grief. Looks like the RunKeeper-to-Facebook posts are AGAIN happening all at once.

Cherpumple
The Snook walked in while I was watching the How to Make a Cherpumple Pie-Cake video. He watched it with me. “No,” he said. “Just… NO.”

Cookies!
Gourmet‘s Favorite Cookies: 1948-2008. Lots of good stuff in there. I made snickerdoodles last night and dyed the sugar red and green to be more festive. Most of my co-workers were appreciative, though one said that the green ones “looked kinda moldy.” Ingrates.

My base training continues. Using a heart rate monitor has definitely made a big difference in my runs. I don’t worry so much about running the whole distance without stopping; I just try to maintain a consistent level of effort the whole time. If my heart rate maxes out trying to run up a hill on a hot day, it’s better to walk it and stay within my target zone. Along those lines, I’m also noticing what a dramatic difference the weather makes. On a hot or humid day, I have to be vigilant about slowing down or my pulse skyrockets. On a cool breezy evening (like last night) I can run along at a decent clip without breaking 140bpm. Anyway, here are the weekly totals for the past month:
Nov 23: 21.5km (13.35mi)
Nov 30: 23km (14.2mi)
Dec 7: 24.5km (15.2mi)
Dec 14: 26km (16mi)According to my Buildup Schedule, this week (week 4) will be a recovery week of only 20km. Looking forward to it. My lower back was bothering me a little last night, and overall my legs are feeling a little tight and tired. I was amused to note that I’m actually getting a small callus on the ball of each food. Hey, I guess that’s proof that I’m a forefoot runner now!

Okay, all 178 rows of St. Brigid back are complete. As I’m still 10+cm short… yeah. Doing another repeat.
After five long years… we have wedding rings! And they’re the geekiest rings ever. 🙂 http://bit.ly/7tkxjL
Baking Christmas snickerdoodles. Yum.
@imdominating Nah, sorry, I know shit all about WordPress…

@redambition I saw those at Glebe Markets last weekend! Very cute, if I didn’t already have a zillion eco bags.
