For Jilli: Christmas tree and bat gift-with-purchase.
Awesome! Plus, a tree that already came with bats would reduce my decorating work!
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
I am slowly getting on the fake tree bandwagon. Every year we buy a tree and I not only bitch and moan about the needles and the cleanup, I wheeze and sniffle and am generally uncomfortable for the first few days we have it.
Yay to Ailleann! Sending you much dieting~ma.
And to Laura! Although, good god, I'm glad I'm not trying that. I don't think I could even choke it down.
Kristin, the answer is to obviously take *off* your pants.

I think that might count as a uniform violation.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have a problem. You see, I went to Target last night to buy Xmas stuff. And I managed to do that (okay, only one item, but still), but then I was waylaid by the shoes. And I was forced -- FORCED!, I tell you! -- to buy these. Yes, I know they aren't leather, and I don't care. They look cool and they fit and I can walk in them.
My problem? Now I need a long swoopy skirt to wear them with.
You can see how I suffer.

Our wings are not tired.
They are lovely Teppy. I can see why you are suffering now.

Poor, poor Teppy!
Laura, I am in awe of your will power. A woman in my book group has been under a doctor supervised fast for at least three months now as part of a program to, well, re-program her eating habits by totally getting rid of all eating. I can't quite imagine fasting with someone else in the house eating!

My first real challenge was going to the movies with the boys Sunday. They all munched popcorn. Not a single piece for me. Although it is easier now that I'm not hungry anymore. I cook for the kids, DH plows down pizza. As long as I see progress in the scale, and my overall health, I can do this. (she says confidently after only 5 days)

What is even happening?
Laura, you'll only consume a mix of water, maple syrup, lemon, and cayenne pepper for a whole month? Isn't that dangerous?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I've never been able to fast. It's one of those things I aspire to.
Love the boots, Tep. Very nice choice.
I went to Target today to buy a teapot (see? Target! and Teapot!) and they didn't have the one I wanted. They have it on their website, blast it.
Anyway, tonight is Nick's Chinese feast. Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Sesame Garlic Pork with Pea pods and other good things in. Egg rolls to start and mini-cream puffs for dessert, all served with Jasmine Green Tea. So, not finding any cool Chinese teacups/pot that I could afford, I ended up buying candle holders. They're so perfectly cool and heat resistant! I have a teapot. It's not Asian looking, but it will do.
This is the one I wanted: [link]
I also got shoes for Kara and Aidan (on sale! and they light up!) and snow boots for Greg. We have about 6 inches in our yard.
I need to get busy cooking.
