power ma~~~ Anne.and I am glad you have some sort of answer now.
Staying home today. This is not a bad cold , but I feel like I need more rest. so , I am listening. DH is a little crazy. I fought off 500 hundred biullion bugs, and I seem to have been caught by one. and it is one of those where I don't feel that bad, 'til I do something( like sweep up cat litter) that makes me feel tired. So I am paying attention. But because I decided to stay home , he is being all worried. I am trying to prevent the illnesses of last year. part of me is annyed that he is being so worried, and part of me is feeling guilty for makeing him worry over a cold.
Poor Vortex with the lack of sleep!
I bought a 14" live tree yesterday from Trader Joe's. It's very pretty, and smells nice.
However, my iPod is now dead like a dead thing. Wah.
More power to ya, Anne.
Feel better, beth.
My cars are not really named but called "Schleppalong" or "Goofinoff" or, in the alternative by color, e.g., "Little White Car."
Bay Area Folks: We went to the Parkway last night to see Shut Up and Sing, and they announced they will be showing 3 Firefly episodes on Dec. 28th because their Buffy nights have been such overwhelming successes. The DH and I will be out of town, unfortunately.
I grew up with fake trees because I was allergic to the real ones. No fun spending xmas in a nonstop leaky eyes sneezefest.
So we had the classic space age silver tree in the early 70s with rotating color wheel. Oh, it was completely mesmerizing watching the color wheel turn and cast the tree with amber........green......blue......red.
Later we got a more complicated green tree with carefully shaped branches and a complex assembly schema. It was my job to assemble the tree every year, and I would always do it on the night The Little Drummer Boy aired. Then I'd eat the rock hard commercial fruitcake we'd get from our Georgia relatives and drink eggnog.
Typically I'd top it off by playing the Nutcracker Suite from our Time Life collection of Light Classical Music. Then I'd dance all around the living room, jumping on the couches and leaping over the hassock, or bouncing off the hassock and onto the couches.
Then in my late teens I lost my allergy to the real trees and we went back to real trees.
I kind of miss the aluminum one with the color wheel though.

We had one when I was a wee lad, too. I miss it, too. I wonder what happened to the color wheel, though...
My parents still have the rotating base that we've had since I was a baby. It seems wrong to me that all trees don't do that. I mean, there are ornaments that NEVER get seen! It's tragic.
We need to combine a Christmas tree with a Roomba. Then the tree can rotate
and
roam from room to room for all to see.
This is what I'm getting if I can find one locally. They rock.

And you could
totally
attach it to the top of the Roomba.
