Ben fell in the love with A Christmas Story, this year. My mother took him to see a production at a local community theatre. Then we bought him the book (which I am co-opting tonight, if he doesn't start reading it), and we TiVo'd it on Christmas Day. One of the cable channels was running a 24 hour marathon of it.

bouncebouncebounce My friend was in that! The one whose wedding I went to over the summer with JenK as my date! He played the adult Ralphie/narrator.

Sadly, I only just found this out yesterday, or I would've been bragging up a storm and urging Somervillain attendance from opening night on.

I'm frellled. three or four weeks ago, I arranged to have a phone meeting with a non-profit group called Balance, which came through my credit union. I figured they would help me find a way to get my existing debts under control so I could breath easier.

The phone meeting is tomorrow night. I was going to spend the last few days entering in all my employment and debt data.

Now the phone call is coming tomorrow evening, and I not only forgot to enter the data (working on it), but now with no job, I'm thinking my whole financial situation will be completely whacked.

{{{Juliana}}} That sucks. Good luck with the 'puter and the rest of the move.

Your financial sitch may be whacked, at least for the short term, but that's all the more reason to need a plan that you can manage. {{{{dcj}}}}

Oh, argh, DCJ. I'll hold 2005 down for you if you want to just pound on it for a while.

Cindy, yes indeedy.

Daniel, maybe they can still help. Can you call the credit union for advice on whether to reschedule, talk to them, or what?

Good luck with figuring this stuff out.

I cannot watch that triple-dog-dare scene in A Christmas Story. The tongue - ow! Probably why I haven't ever seen the movie all the way through.

I gotta get the Man-Pony image out of my head. On top of the dreams I've been having (different bf every night, when IRL I'm NGA) I'm feeling a little strange.

That's how I talked Emmett into watching the movie, by describing that scene.

I vaguely remember getting my tongue stuck to something when we lived in Goosebay, Labrador. I was able to unstick it without trauma though.

Owie, Hec. Glad for the lack of trauma. Goosebay Labrador - off to Google Maps.
