{{Erin}} I'm certain you have the Hottest mug shot evah!

I finally did my Christmas cards today. Of course, I have no stamps, but they are all addressed and signed and ready to go as soon as I get stamps. Baby steps, right?

Hey, all, how's tricks?

Thanks for all the kind words. I slept hard last night, and am better today. My arm looks awful, but doesn't hurt all that bad.

My friend is hunting down my mug shot. I have a feeling it'll end up on a t-shirt or coffee mug or something for my next birthday. Joy. Here's to friends with...quirky senses of humor. Ah, me.

Hi Sweety! I'm glad you got some sleep. Um, a good story for the grandkids someday?

Seriously, don't go in there without a lawyer. (I give that advice so much they won't let me give a wedding toast, ever.) (/Everything I know I learned from Homicide)

Two batches of cookies are DONE. One batch is chilling and we are taking a break before attacking the soft gingerbread recipe.

Silly me didn't plan this out well (seeing as this was a last minute cookie marathon in the first place). We chose a few cookies that don't stack well, so I'm not sure how we are going to store them until distribution time. Blarg.

{{{{Erin}}}}} I'm so sorry that you had such an awful night. Best possible resolution~ma to you. Take care.

{{Erin}} just keep moving forward, honey , and things will improve. This is really the time to ignore all your internal voices and move forward.

I had a friend that was arrested for unemployment fraud ( she was supposed to be working underthe tabel, but someone decided she wasn't)It was the only way for her to keep body and soul together for herself and her husband ( who was not yet but should have been on disablity). Fines, payback, community service ,and a little humiliation- thiings got back on track for her pretty qickly. Honestly, it really does count that you are not a bad person.

ION Yay Bears!

Erin,

I wasn't arrested but I did get in trouble for not paying tickets -- for not having insurance, reckless driving,--then I got tickets on top of that. But it was a big deal and I did have to get a lawyer, luckily there was a friend of the family. If you can't afford a lawyer, then you'll get someone court appointed but if you can find a lawyer do that.

I had to do community service and pay fines. I had to borrow money in order to pay the fines and the community service wasn't too bad. I know someone else who was arrested when he was pulled over an expired tag, he had some outstanding tickets. I'm pretty sure that he had fines and community service. Luckily for him it didn't effect his job.

IallaboutMN, I am trying to drive myself crazy. First I bought new candle holder for the votives and tealights I know I have , but haven't used in this house. I have no idea where the candles are. that alone is a enough to drive me batshit. So I decide to ignore this- and make shortbreads. I went to find the reciepe cards I have - and saw about a month ago - and once again I have no idea where I put them.

on the plus side I found two shirts I bought for DH ages ago and I cleaned the top of the refrigerator. I think I am going to clean out the my tea supplies while I wait for the butter to warm up...
