Ask someone new about themselves
Went to company Christmas lunch. I MEANT to talk to new co-workers from my PBG office. But ended up talking to Aaron and Katie from Stuart, and a little bit with Sarah from Audit. But I did get to hear about my new coworkers — Suzi, Vicky, Christine, Holly and Kelly — in their intros to the company. I’ll get to know them more next week.
I did not really accomplish the October and November goals. So I am wary about putting up December goals. But here we go. A lot of it is just finishing up stuff that has been lingering:
Update: December 4
6. I have been moisturizing every day! I love it!

Clean out old Keep posts.
Well, this was useful and productive, but not very exciting for a blog post. Found some ancient To Do lists. Random saved tweets. Old wish lists. Not sure if I made much of a dent, but still a good practice.
Been exhausted from two weeks of travel. It was all good -- other then the almost dying from a broken wheel. See post about wheel bearings.
I have not been keeping up with my Small Joys -- doing them or blogging about them. Time for another break. Clearly it is not meant to be a daily thing. *adjusting rules of game I made for myself*
Today, I had lunch with Barbara. She asked me to lunch, which made my heart sing. I always fret that friends don't actually like me. Which is silly after 15 years, and she calls me her best friend. But anxiety does that.
So we had lunch at 1:00, and then sat there until nearly 4. We had SO much catching up to do. We had gone to Orlando together, but didn't really chat at length. Caught up on the kids, and disappointments, and achievements. And holiday anxiety. And planning a birthday surprise for a friend.
I had mentioned hosting an Open House at the holidays. Or maybe I didn't. Maybe she mentioned doing an Open House, and then I said I am too. I forget if she already knew this. So of course, we decided to combine! And now i am so excited. I am going to make stuffed figs, and cookies, and a peppermint cake, and a soup, and the Japanese sweet potatoes I mentioned here recently.
We also cemented some plans for Vegas, and bought tickets to a Cirque show. We are going to have so much fun.
Well it looks like I may have a bunion — maybe? — on my right big toe which has been hurting since Orlando.
and I’ve learned about Hallux Limitus. I need better fitting shoes, more orthotics. I think I’ll try finding a podiatrist.

Write down a memory
I already did write about when George Carlin died and about my first TV. Plan to write longer post about my dad and driving to Virginia, specifically through SC. Will add that later.
