Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

Christmas friggin' miracle.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

Works for me. Btw, thanks for being a good sport, ND, given that I pretty much ended up arranging an event at your house.

Hey!! I live here too! And I'm not so sure about this "early afternoon" party at my house. If people are coming, ND and I need to CLEAN said house first. Since we aren't getting in until the night before and I plan to SLEEP IN, we need a little time in the early afternoon for that.

Silly boys.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I like tea too, and have a few nice flavors (and more coming! for my Christmas present to me!), but I have to have coffee first.

Which is now cold, what with the abusing the children and chasing the dog thing I've been doing.

It's not a bad day, honestly. Though Aidan jumped on my head, he did it with those adorable giggles that makes it hard to be mad at him.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

He *likes* being negative and critical and snarky, though. It's his happy place, they know him there.

Totally using this. "I like being indifferent and noncommital! It's my happy place, they know me there!"

Yes. This is good.
