Snowy Sunday

It's snowing here in NJ. It snowed a bit just before Thanksgiving, but it was light, almost like fluffy rain. Plus, it shot up to 60 degrees the nexy day and was gone by noon. Now though, it's seriously cold out, so it might stick around awhile. Just in time for me to go back out west.

I've been productive lately. I started baking this weekend for Hannukah: chocolate mint Hershey Kiss cups and chocolate dipped sugar cut-out cookies. Today I'm going to tackle oatmeal raisin cookies (a Dad special request), and two kinds of shortbread: plain, rolled in blue sugar, and chocolate chip. I also made banana bread with pecans and chocolate chips, but that's unrelated (and very necessary, the bananas were five minutes from going mutant.) I'm going to box all the cookies up in chinese food boxes for everyone to take home on Sunday.

I also finally got my hair cut, after February's pre-move freak out, when I cut it way too short. I need to start packing to go back to CA and am just going UPS most of my stuff back out there. I finished my holiday shopping and wrapping weeks ago, so that's done. This year, everyone's getting Hannukah presents, since I won't be here for Christmas.

I also need to get a job. I hope the strike won't hurt too much, but I've faced the fact that if I don't get one almost immediately after getting off the plane, I'm going to have to try to work at Border's or something. I have zero retail experience, so I don't know how that's going to work. We'll see. All I know is, I need to work and I need it now.
