What did you do on your day off? I found this amazing bakery, and now I’m napping. (The last one is the box of goodies I took home to the fam.

I came home from Fabcon & SQLCon and found my family had bought Andes mint cookie crunch thins. It is mint, chocolate, and Oreo cookies (probably not Oreo because they didn’t license them, but it taste like Oreos) I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, THESE ARE ADDICTIVE!! STAY AWAY!!!

Working on re-organizing my office, I have about half of this cleaned off. Got some new things for Christmas that I can’t wait to show off in the background of videos next year for @talesfromthefield.bsky.social !

Today I weighed in at 199.8 lbs. I haven’t been below 200 lbs since 2007. I’m sure by the time I had my coffee and breakfast I was back up above 200 lbs 😂 But we take the wins where we can get them. Loseit was also happy for me 😂

Made a new friend on the morning walk, my gut tells me that they are an introvert.

The scent was chocolate, no scent of mint. Until you split it open. First thought, break out the Kool-Aid man! The taste is spot on. This is a thin mint! First thing I did was take the second pop tart in the pack and put it in the freezer. This can only get better! Solid 8 out of 10.

The scent is very heavy with toasted coconut. So much so that I almost worried that the flavor would be overwhelmingly coconut. Surprisingly, it is much more caramel than coconut. It actually taste more like cookie dough than the cookie dough pop tarts. For pop tarts a solid 6 out of 10

This is either going to be epic, or a massive fail. Still trying to decide which before I open the box.

I ordered a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super to fix some video card issues I've been having. It arrives today between 5 pm and 10 pm. AND now I'm peeking out the window, and watching the deliver website like a 5-year-old waiting to run downstairs Christmas morning to see what Santa brought me.
