Day 341 Brunch and a movie

Today I had brunch for the first time at Take Five. I had beignets and they were delicious. They had a caramel apple flavor. Yummy. Then we went to see the latest Hunger Games movie. It was good but I felt it was just a filler.

Day 340 Craft show

Today I went to a craft show. I heard about it this summer and was looking forward to it. I liked some of it but it was smaller than I thought it would be. That was disappointing. I really liked that you picked up what you wanted at a booth and pay for it at the door.

Day 339 Glitter toes

Today I got my pedicure. I decided since it would be the one I had for the holidays to go with a red with glitter in it. Now I am not a glitter person but you need to go big for the holidays. I tried to take a picture but the glitter doesn't really show.

Day 338 Retiring

No I'm not retiring. I wish but that is at least 7 years away. For the first time though someone who works for me is retiring. Lucky her.

Day 337 NPR book list

Did you know that NPR has a list of the best books of the year? I didn't. I found it today while playing around on the internet. I wrote down the name of a few books to try next year. I like to try new authors and I keep a list of ones to try. I was excited to find this new avenue of discovery. So my first today was discovering a new list of good books. I also learned what Yik Yak was. Then I discovered a thing called knook. It is knitting using a crochet hook. I have ordered a "learn to knook" kit. Today was all about discovering new things.

Day 336 Giving Tuesday

I did not know there was a Giving Tuesday but apparently it has been around for a couple of years. It was developed in response to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. So today I made two donations. One was for the guy who delivers our mail at work and the other was at my quilt guild meeting. The one for the guild will go toward three different charities. It always feels good to give.

Day 335 Walmart receipt

A friend at work asked me if I had used the Walmart program where you got a gift card if a product you bought was cheaper at another store. I said no since I try not to shop at Walmart. But this weekend we shopped at Walmart so I entered our receipts on their website. It takes a couple of days before they let you know if you get any money. I didn't spend much so I don't expect to get any money back but it is an easy way to make a little money. We shall see.
