Long-term planning is necessary

Especially as I promised several people Christmas cookies as a present. So I sat down and wrote down the possibilities. Currently I'm at 34 different sorts, but I'm not sure it's the end of it. Yeah, I'm insane, but you've already known that, haven't you?

I also started to write lists how much flour, sugar, margarine, eggs, various nuts and the likes I will need. I haven't reached the end yet, but I guess I'll have to make quite a few food runs to haul everything home, even if Lidl is at the next corner. So yeah, lots of work and expanses coming my way, but a) I love baking, b) this way I don't have to think about proper Christmas gifts and c) the gifts won't demand lots of storage space as they'll be eaten in record time, if previous experience is any indication.

Crafting-wise I made another popsicle angel today. This time I tried painting the sticks light blue and use sparkle to decorate the little fellow. No pic yet; I need to make a few more before taking a photo, as I'm running out of storage space on the iPad mini.

Oh, and I did some work on the "Pathways" timeline, reaching the end of the "Buffy" era. Now I'll fit together the last season of "Angel" and Season 6 of "Charmed", before I start inserting "Queer As Folk US" into the picture. It's a good thing that "Blood Ties" starts two years after everything else is over; and I don't work in "Criminal Minds" as "A Touch of the Wild" was a one-time story.
