(weather has an 'other hand'?)
New England weather is all hands. Hands! In new places! Having once visited Chicago in February, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the same is true, there.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

[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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Blessed Solstice. Yay, light back!
I've actually noticed the days getting longer, by inches.
I've kept up, with the toddlers and the Fusstilda and the cute and the glayvin. May I just say that all are unutterably cute, and parents are incredibly patient and wise and good. The one thing a parent forgets, as one's children grow into school age and teenage and eventually off to college, is how un.cease.ing the demand for attention and for action is, with babies and toddlers. Especially toddlers. Truly one should have to train, and possibly pass PT tests, before having kids. I salute each of you.
Um. Last-minute Christmas erranding, DH is tapping his foot as I type. Onward. Upward. Forward. Exthelthior!
Ooh, last four words for Brenda, too! Good luck. And did I say congratulations?

Because books.
brenda, I don't think I've yayed the new job yet either. Yay! And good luck with the giving notice -- I know that can be stressful.
Happy Solstice, all!

Art Crawl!!!
Happy Solstice everyone!
(I thought today was the actual shortest day of the year. But perhaps I've misunderstood?)

I was wondering which day was Solstice but was too lazy to look it up. Happy Solstice!
I would like just a little bit of unseasonably warm. I'm tired of scraping my windshield in the single-digit weather every morning.

Happy Solstice! Yay, for longer days with more sunlight!

move out and draw fire
My calendar says it's Friday, which it will be for me (GMT+2), but my calendar is American, so go figure.
This morning, I made my coffee, didn't let it oversteep, put it in my travel sippy cup. And left it on the counter. That's sort of been the theme for the whole day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay, sunlight!
I just got halfway to my fundraising goal for volunteering in Israel. There's a month left to fundraise. Eek. I have a feeling I'm going to be putting in more of my own money than I'd planned. Oh well.
I still need to buy a ton of presents. I have no car access for most of today, and I'm not sure about tomorrow. This could pose a problem.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay, for longer days with more sunlight!
For us Northern Hemisphere types, anyway. Still, I don't think those Southern Hemisphere types have been taking good care of the orb, so it's good that we get it back.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I do (selfishly) hope that before you leave, you find someone on the inside who keeps us up to date on the latest craxy.
Oh, I think Minion will be up to the task. Provided he's still speaking to me.
Thanks, y'all!
