I had all this energy and motivation to attack my long list, then I read Beverly's list and I got tired. I think I'll take a bit of a rest.

Adorable. Yes, all Buffista babies should have one of those.

Pretty sure several of them do. I know I've seen Mallory in one. So cute.

Cash, stay rested and strong. We'll be thinking of you and the wee girl.

Sending "hope it's just a minor flukey pregnancy thing" vibes towards Cash.

Dear Baby Girl,

Go back to sleep and stay safely where you are until February. If you come out now, you'll be shorted on birthday presents your whole life.

I just went to Starbucks for a nice morning treat and ended up giving a little quilting lesson to the girl behind the counter. It was much fun, and a nice way to start the day.

This almost makes me wish for a Starbucks here. And enough motivation to leave the house.

I have almost all my Christmas shopping done, with only a couple of little, not critical things to purchase...I think. But lest you get congratulatory or jealous, I have not yet:

• written a list of the people I'm giving to and what they're getting, so I could be missing major bits
• wrapped, packed or mailed anything, and most things really should have been mailed at least several days ago, as mail to and from Juneau tends to be craptastically slow.
• cleaned or decorated the place at all; currently my floors and futon are covered with an interesting but gross combination of yarn and paper bits and copious cat hair. blech.

I have promised myself to get the critical presents finished, wrapped, packed and mailed today. One won't make it, because I know I won't have time to do any of the others if I take the time to finish making it (knitting the top of the stocking is going slower than expected - worry not Trudy, this is not yours), and even if I do focus on this one, I still may not finish. I spy a lunch errand on Monday or Tuesday in my future.

I suppose this all means I should get off of b.org and start working, huh.

Vibes for Cash and baby girl!!!

When is Cash due?

Around Valentine's.

Good thoughts for Cashmere.My conversation with my brother? I might as well be talking to myself. I don't think I'll ever try again. Just like grunt at him in the pause between monologues.

Question for my Bitches:

Do I wear the dress I have and am uncomfortable in to my holiday party tonight or go buy a new dress that will not get worn that often and feel slightly more comfortable?

{{{Cashmere}}} Much ~ma to you that that little girl stays put until much closer to her due date. Take care.
