Christmas is totally fun.

We went out yesterday to do some last minute holiday shopping, and therefore we didn't manage to get back home to start the turkey dinner until 6:00. So we started it then, and ended up eating at 1:30 a.m. and it was DELICIOUS. Then we left all our dishes where they were and started ripping into presents at 2:30 a.m. Because it was CHRISTMAS MORNING, LA LA LA LA. So that was awesome. Presents were all good. Everybody liked everything. And my brother really liked the new cologne my mom got him, which is TOTALLY awesome because his old one was kind of way strong, and he was the only one who liked it. Also, I won two free packages of sweetarts when I opened up my roll of sweetarts (that was in my stocking). Which is also awesome. I love sweetarts. Also, I got $50 from my grandparents, and I saw a really pretty pink leather jacket at the mall yesterday for $60. So now I have the fun option of buying that. I love shopping for me.

Today, after having a Benadryl to help end the sneezing I had been doing, and having leftover turkey, I slept most of the day with kitty cats strewn across me. They were exhausted too, after playing with all of their new toys.

So Christmas is very fun.

Yay for fun and for adorable ipod stories!

I think I get to go shopping for a dress tomorrow. That should be fun.

Kristin, that's adorable.

I have a sore throat. I've almost totally lost my voice. (Well, I can talk, it just hurts so much that it's not worth the effort.) I'm really hoping this isn't tonsilitis again. I already had it for nearly a month this year -- that's more than enough for about three years.

I'm back in Los Angeles now. I survived the family one more time.

Now I just have to move.

That's an adorable story, Kristin.

Back from seeing the Lemony Snicket movie.

I wonder if tomorrow I should... buy shoes?

I wonder if tomorrow I should... buy shoes?

I'm pretty sure the shoes would love it. It's almost as if you owe it to them, or something.

Almost, Nilly. It's like my job or something. But I'm also not feeling the need for new shoes. What I should buy instead are storage containers for chrismukkah ornaments. And another white tree. And maybe something else to be named at a later date.

It's like my job or something

Oh, I see the important difference now.

I totally need to buy new shoes. Wanna buy shoes with me? That way I'll be made to do it.

white tree

Why is the tree white?

Kristin, that's DARLING!

I have decided that this is the LAST year we attempt to mold our schedules around other people. Next Christmas, the mofos are coming to us.

Consumables: champers, scotch (Plei, do you know of Ladoig? Nummy.)

I shall remember it for next year. Or, you know, ask you to remind me.

We have to go set our memory foam mattress pad on the bed and crash now. Merry last bits of Christmas!

I saw ND tonight. It was great. He was all smiles and happiness from his trip out East. I was very glad to see him.

Julia gave this very nice gray hoodie for Christmas. I am so far beyond touched by being able to work with her. I also met her adorable daughter. Today was a good day. Even if I was falling asleep in the booth.
