Kristin, 40 is COLD. You have every right to shiver. Hell, I am shivering for you. Hope you get to Tucson soon. No matter how I spell that town, it looks funny to me.

Hiya Hec!

VW, you should so totally be excited. I love the surprise of a good grade. Almost as much as I love napalm in the morning.

Sorry to hear about the prescription, Deena.

Travel~ma, Kristin.

We have just decided that what baking we have done so far is good enough. I may try to make pizzelles when we're at my mother's tomorrow afternoon.

Victor and thessaly came over last night, and I now have a Jack Sparrow action figure, which makes me very happy. We also decided that the candy cane Hershey kisses are crack, because they're that addictive.

Oy, Kristin. As long as you don't spend Christmas eve in the terminal with that kind of feast, I guess it's a win.

I think I'm gonna go relax now. I just realized I don't have to be upright, nor wearing proper undergarments now that the company is gone. Whee!

Cherrywine sounds nice, though I've never had it. Well, unless I made what Mom calls a "suicide' with two different pops or something.

We also decided that the candy cane Hershey kisses are crack, because they're that addictive.

Totally agree. I will be sad, sad, sad when they are gone.

Have found a single power outlet. Decided laptop wins since it can also charge the iPod. Phone is slowly dying and no internet for laptop, however, so I'm going to conserve power and resist the urge to pass the time through posting.

I got an A on my final project, which bumped my B in the class up to an A-.

I'm not surprised. Perhaps it was the influence of all that peppermint.

Happy stressless travels to those in motion.

Yay vw!

I've done all the shopping that I must for the moment. Some people can wait until later which is helpful. My choice this year for little gifts for odd people, neighbors and such is, Mimosa kits. Pretty glass, oj, and itty bitty champagne. It makes a nice little bundle, but comes in about $7.

Now to do some more wrapping, with eggnog to keep me going.

Some time tomorrow I'll have to hit the grocery store to get more stuff for Christmas dinner. It will have to happen while I am over on the west side. Need to do the round trip visit to the family on the other side of the state, then back here late tomorrow night. Then we do Christmas at my house and I feed DH's family and some friends. Whee!

Happy wishes for all. And Matilda, now would be a good time to get past that fussy baby stuff and calm down. That would be a very sweet first Christmas gift for mommy and daddy.

I forgot to fill a prescription today, and now the pharmacy seems to be closed until Tuesday

We picked up prescriptions today, too. We're going to need to go out at least for a little bit tomorrow, but that should be cool if we look at it as an anthropological expedition into Wildest Consumeria.

I hurt Hubby last night in my sleep. I have no idea what I was dreaming, all I know is that it involved buildings. But I latched on to his bad arm and I partially dislocated his shoulder. I woke up to him yelling in pain for me to let go.

I hurt my Hubby.

Granted, he's a lot more fragile than he was in the days when he jumped out of helicopters into forest fires, but he keeps looking at me in mingled worry and respect: "I never thought I'd lose a wrestling match with you. You're going to be scary if anyone really backs you into a corner."

I am pleased at the vote of confidence about my abilities to not go down quietly, but still . . . I hurt my Hubby.

{{Connie's DH}} And um, sweet dreams, connie.
