However, I am happy to report that my gift went out priority this morning and should arrive at its destination in 3-4 days, so they say.
Did you recover all the Kara-pilfered items?
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

Because books.
Timelies. It's Monday. The holidays are over. I need chocolate.
And everyone's getting their hair cut except me. Where are the scissors again...?
"Oh, I *don't* think so, Mommy. I don't think so."
Ah, innocence.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Oh, I *don't* think so, Mommy. I don't think so."
And Cindy's broken my heart AND my ovaries. I may never walk again.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Receptionist not due back for another 15 minutes. May die! Send help!You'll have to resort to cannibalism.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Well, I was going to include a very pretty Christmas card, but those never reappeared, so I put in a Bantock card instead. The tin in which some of the gifty things were going to reside was, indeed, found! An hour after the gift went into the mail. Also? It was base calumny. Aidan was the culprit in that one. If Kara had stolen it we would have found it with small toys in it under her bed or something and she would have said things like, "Aidan DID IT!" and "I don't KNOW how it got there!" Instead, we found it underneath the basement stairs, indicating a toy-under-stair-thrower of some skill. That's Aidan. Of course, she had stolen it before, which is why we assumed she did it the second time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Betsy, I saw that this morning. The horror! The horror!
Also, Julia is adorable and yet head-strong. Ai yi yi.....
My Secret Santa gift went out today, as well! Deena and I are as one in our disorganization, although her disorganization has two wee diabolical helpers. Mine is purely my fault.

What is even happening?
Ah, innocence.
Yeah. *sigh* How long 'til it's dashed?
As I was typing, she came over and said, "Oh, and I definitely *definitely* know for sure that Michael is in love me. Like, definitely."
"How do you know?"
"At rug time, he just kept staring at me, and it was written all over his face. I do NOT love Michael, though."
I actually think she's right about Michael in the kindergarten sense of "love", because he's like a puppy dog around her. He's completely sweet and adorable, so I don't confirm her suspicions about him often, because I don't want her to lord it over him. I've got to find a balance between building up enough earlier confidence--such that she can survive middle school with some of it still in tact, while not creating a Cordelia.
Ganked from Manolo's Shoe Blog:Christmas again, already? What is that, Betsy? It's like the Picasso version of the bridesmaid butt bow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I did *not* know that Columbia had a football team.
They don't anymore.

That's exactly it! It's horrifying, whatever it is.
"At rug time, he just kept staring at me, and it was written all over his face."
She said that?! Perceptive little thing, isn't she? (With an admirable vocabulary.) Oh, the boys have some trouble coming their way, I think.
