Poor Deena!
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

I'm enjoying the Owen stories, but I'm awfully glad he's yours. I don't think I could take any more festive.
I should get coffee bags. I like that plan.

What is even happening?
I'm enjoying the Owen stories, but I'm awfully glad he's yours.Heh. I think we're all glad all the Buffista kids ended up with the parents they did, no matter how adorable they are.
I think the coffee bags might not even be "instant" coffee. Folgers puts them out. You boil the water; pour it over the bag; let it steep for a minute, then dunk the bag (up and down, so dunk and undunk?) for 15 seconds, and you've got something fairly coffeeish. It has caffeine. I'm quite sure of it.

We're a very festive household.
Scott ran some errands late yesterday afternoon. Chris went with him, and wore the Santa hat, everywhere they went.

Such beautiful babies! And toddlers! And kids! You're all making it hard to work because I'm too busy clicking on links that kill me D-E-D.
Aimee, when you're up and about, could you let me know the dates you'll be in Michigan? Would you be up to spending a little time together? I've got relatives I can impose upon to put me up for a couple of days.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for pictures of cutiehead Buffista toddlers. Really I am grateful that mine are past the mommy and tree abuse stage. Well, still with the mommy abuse I suppose. A new set of challenges, but more communication.
I have the coffee bags. I bought them for camping and it works well enough.
I got to sleep in until 8 this morning! Finals for Brendon so he doesn't have to be to school until 10:30 for the rest of the week. Bobby starts at 9:30. Then vacation until Jan 9th. I do love not having to wake at 6. I will never be a morning person.
Yikes, do I have a list. Work, chores, shopping. Ick.

Pictures of cute buffista kids are a good thing to wake up to. I can't believe what a big girl Kara has become!
Poor Deena, I hope your day improves.

I bought some of those coffee bags (like tea bags, but with coffee), because I figured I could heat water in the fireplace, if nothing else.
I have two French presses and make sure I keep ground coffee, even though I normally grind it myself, just to be sure I can have coffee.

move out and draw fire
Toddlets!
I go the French press route, myself, but many is the morning where I get called away to deal with some toddler emergency (or more likely, a toddler-induced emergency) and leave it to steep too long.
Mal's been very good about the tree, mostly just pointing to ornaments and signing about them, but I have noticed that the bottom 1/3 of the tree isn't really the way it was to begin with. He's mostly into putting things ON the tree, which doesn't always work out.
We struck out on getting him a Greekish ornament this year, so we got him a house charm. These are things that are given away at the new year, and normally have an abalone shell and an evil eye and some other stuff. It will make a cool ornament, I think.

I managed to not get a speeding ticket this morning, though I passed two speed traps, one at about seven miles over.

TCG uses a french press. He usually grinds the beans for the coffee, but we keep ground coffee in the freezer too, just in case. I drink tea, and I have so much tea in this apartment that I could probably not buy any for a year and still not have to worry about having enough.
