No, I get the Beverly. She can stay in my guest room, which is decorated with souvenirs of the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. I bet that's the only 1933 World's Fair bedroom offer she gets.
Hmmm. At Chez Zmayhem Beverly could sleep in Emmett's room under mosquito netting with a map of Middle Earth on the wall, and a miniature Sting (the sword not the Police) in a stand on his desk and a perfect Matisse cutout portrait of Legolas and a globe and a pirate hat. Or in the living room with the Hamlet!Mouse under the Arkham Asylum gate, Emmett's nose cast shadowbox, the OED and a Bat Manuel figure gesturing to her come hitheringly.
JZ's back in bed reading the beautiful large size Little Nemo collection that came out this year. One of her Christmas presents. We woke up and it was raining hard. We had cappucinos and nibbled shortbread and watched Amelie. Afterwards I threw lots of xmas chocolate into the double boiler and whisked in milk and made superdeluxe hot chocolate.
It's a good morning.
Trudy you should definitely send a letter. Maybe you can get some cashmere socks out of it.
Ooooh! Cashmere socks!!!!!
I've become such a 'schmere ho. Last year for Christmas I got my very first one: lilac cardigan, pearl buttons. It's pretty big now because of the weight loss, but since it's a not-so-boxy sweater it looks fine. This year I purchased a red cable-knit turtleneck and Santa Mom brought me the now-legendary purple twinset.
sighhhhh...
Since I plan to wear the thing until the end of time it was likely worth the effort.
It's pretty big now because of the weight loss,
JZ's prone to using pretty clips in the back to make oversized sweaters and tops more fitted. Cheap and cute!
Cashmere socks are very luxurious, and relatively inexpensive for the amount of pleasure you can derive from them.

I read this and thought, Trudy must *really* like bagels...
{{{Trudy}}} I'm sorry for the asshat at Lord & Taylor. My boss is very much like that. I cringe every time I see her doing a return.
sillies. its not THEIR money. and most companies would rather keep a customer.
Alright, its all cold and snowing intermittently. sister and friends are having dinner and drinking in various places in hoboken. do I a) get my ass over there and join them for dinner; b) take a nap then grab a PATH train and join them for drinks; c) go to sleep and wake up next year?
what IS it about this holiday that makes me think I like to hang out in a noisy fucking bar? and ones with SMOKE (since we'll be on
that
side of the Hudson) for Pete's sake?
do I a) get my ass over there and join them for dinner;
This. Then if the smoke in the bar gets to you, you can exit, after having had some fun together. If it doesn't bother you, you can make a big night out of it.
The hardest thing to do on this holiday is to live in it. Do it. For me.
