Because I suck I haven't sent out any Christmas cards yet. But for you that means that you get a last chance to claim one
here. I'll happily send anywhere (the current price structure of the German mail means it doesn't matter if you live in China or in Switzerland anyway), and don't worry about sending me anything back. Go donate a little something to charity if you're not sending out cards, or give the next beggar that crosses your path some change, how about that?
I almost never win anything. Which is in part due to me never playing anything like lotto, crossword competitions, etc, but whatever. The local Lions Club sells advent calendars with prizes sponsored by local companies if your calendar's number is drawn in a daily raffle. (Proceeds of the calendar selling go to charity.) My dad bought five this year and gave one to each member of the family, plus my sister's boyfriend. Yesterday my number got drawn and I won a gift card for an electronic store worth 100 euros. That Wii I've been thinking of buying? Mine!
I chose calendar number 7461, which, being an odd number, made me twitchy, and I thought more than once that I should've chosen another. I'm glad I didn't!
I'm feeling twitchy and restless. I have two weeks of vacation over Christmas and New Year's and I don't have a trip planned yet. Since I've started working the only time I ever took vacation was when I had a trip coming up. And I usually left the first vacation day and came back on the last day. Maybe a mini trip. Was thinking about Stralsund, but mom says that Rostock is nicer. And there's a ferry connection to Denmark...
Something's wrong with my cooking lately. I'm normally a good cook, I like cooking and baking. Last weekend I made cinnamon stars and forgot to add the cinnamon until I'd already made half of them. Yesterday I made ají de gallina as empanada filling for my coworkers. Came out disgusting; I'll have to make it anew tomorrow. And picking apart the chicken took quite some time, too.
