I cut open a mini red pepper and found this poor little dude inside…
new specs
The new job means I spend a lot of time flicking back and forth between looking a short distance away and looking very close up. This meant I was constantly taking my glasses on and off. So, I bit the bullet and got bifocals. They are progressives and will take some getting used to. Also, they are purple.
Euphorbia pulcherrima
A sea of poinsettias. And this was just one row! There were two more just like it. That’s a whole lot of plants.
I didn’t want scrambled
In an effort to stop myself from dropping one egg, I managed to drop this one instead. Dammit.
classified
Found at work today. And for those who can’t read Kid fluently, allow me to translate:

“Milk’s favorite cookie”….homemade
We made Oreos today! The Stuff has kind of a caramel flavor to it, which is actually quite tasty.
Cutting the cookies
Piping in the Stuff
define “leaf”
I found this leaf weeks ago, and have been meaning to take a photo of it ever since. But I couldn’t decide what kind of photo to take. Today, inspiration struck.
free parking
One of the local municipal lots is having some work done on it later this week, so they’ve removed all the parking meters. I got free parking for my chiropractor appointment today…woo hoo!
Halloween treats
It’s been a while since I made my famous (infamous?) finger cookies. I hope my new coworkers enjoy them….
city elections
Newton’s City Council is far too large. There are 8 wards, and each has 1 ward councillor, and 2 at-large councillors. Everyone can vote for all the at-large councillors, but only ward residents can vote for the ward councillor. Anyway, it’s 24 people (Boston has 12), and it amazes me that anything ever gets done.
