we went to the cafe and now Matt is off to Woodcraft, some friends gave him a very generous gift certificate which has sent into a tizzy of excited debate over various tools. I declined to accompany him . I am guessing there is tv and nap in my future. a friend will be over to die my hair and then I will have to go to work this evening.

I had forgoten that the big reason for cleaning house before christmas is because it is a wreck today...

Running out the door to the airport... Will no doubt be very dark grey for a week. Behave yourselves. Or not.

I wished that y'all and Emmett could have visited with us yesterday, and enlivened that "party"

I sent you a pin to wear, did you get it?

Oh! Yeah...the nipple one. Should've done that, huh?

But...but he was, wasn't he? No disrespect to Anubis, who's one of my favourite Egyptian deities, but he was in charge of mummification and of leading the soul to its place of judgment, wasn't he? Whereas Osiris got to sit around looking important (and bitter about the whole no-penis thing) while Anubis had lots of actual work to do.

See, that sort of thing drives me mad. Because, before Osiris died, Anubis was all the main honcho. Then Osiris lost his penis and Anubis was all, -blink- You're dead and have no penis. How'd that happen?

And Osiris was like, Shut up. I have to redecorate. To which Anubis was respectful and said, Uh, you do remember this is my domain, right? To which Osiris laugh and laugh and laugh and demoted Anubis.

And now Anubis runs around in the skimpy outfit, doing all the work involved with ruling the underworld, while Osiris gets the sparkly crown and the jewels, and the pimp canes. Osiris reaps all kinds of benefits, but what does Anubis get? A footnote. I know I should pity the penis-less god, but I have too much love for Anubis.

I got a pin in my stocking that said - "Raising teenagers is like nailing jello to a tree".

Mine said "Help! This pin is stuck to my nipple."

Hee! Great pins!

Oh, and thanks Kristin and everyone else for the new home gladness, it's really wonderful. Didn't you just move, Kristin, or are you just about to?

Laughing too hard. Cannot breathe. In danger of laughing self to death, and getting to speak to both deities in person.

blink

Heh heh heh heh.

Horrifyingly, with the newly-discovered Oz-like laconicness & blinking, and the skimpy outfit, I find myself actually on board the fancying Anubis Train. Damn.

I'm home. I survived. It actually wasn't a bad day because cashiers aren't allowed to do returns because we always "mess them up". So the managers had a bad day doing returns, while the cashiers just had an evenly paced day doing sales. When I got home Dave was just finishing his morning coffee. We're going to eat yummy leftovers tonight and go see The Chronicles of Narnia tonight.

that's just perfect, sj. I could never decide if the extra money being head cashier made up for the fun of doing returns. At least when I worked for Express the return policy was " of course we'll take it back. and I think it was for 30 days after xmas we gave everyone cash back. made it easy and almost pleasent for all
