Me, with a paycheck freshly deposited in the bank, going shopping? Mega dangerous.

Oy vey.

I still have a few people on my list. Too many of the things I got today were for people I already have things for! Gaaah.

To top it off, tomorrow I have to pay for my contacts and a copay for them to put tiny golf-tee-shaped pieces of silicone in my tear drains.

Managed to go into Lush and only buy a couple things that weren't on my list. Managed to go into Lint and only buy knitting needles (two circs, a 10 and a 10.5, a cable needle, yarn sewing needles). I didn't even get all the needles on my list--I'm going to end up with a bunch of hats that are unfinished tubes until I can get double-pointed needles in size 8, 10, and 10.5. At least with knitting needles you only have to buy them once. Assuming I don't lose them, or decide to knit something else that requires the same size needles before I'm done with the first thing.

Bought the underwear for the person whose name I drew in the Yule Panty Exchange. Spent way more than I was planning to--almost $30 (she doesn't read LJ, so she won't see this). I have no idea what kind of underwear she actually wears. I took a gamble. I hope she likes them. The return policy of the place I bought them sucks.

Except for the soft tofu I forgot, I have the ingredients for something like three or four recipes of baked goods. I was going to go to that fundraiser for the Lighthouse Farm Sanctuary, but tomorrow is my only real chance to do some baking and tally up who's still on my list.

So: shortbread (that's an experiment--good margarine instead of butter), pumpkin cookies, [livejournal.com profile] webtar's coffee cake, brownies, what else? I wanna make those yummy swirled cookies (where you take sugar cookie dough and chocolate cookie dough, make'em flat, roll them up, and slice--spirals!), but I need a recipe. I know I have one somewhere, I think in Laurel's Kitchen. I'll have to check.

Shopping list: Soft tofu, more vanilla!

Aw shit, I was going to do my laundry. No time now. Grrr. Tomorrow, then. Now? Finish eating, put away leftovers, do dishes. Take shower and collapse into bed.

I must clarify, it's not my coffee cake, it's Isa's.
for the swirl cookies couldn't you jsut add cocoa powder to the sugar cookie recipe? I wish I liked sugar cookies so I could do that!

I thought of that, but wouldn't that make them kinda dry? And I don't think I could just cut down on the flour for that half or something.
