I normally welcome the coming of winter with open arms, but then again I normally have hot water. This is NOT the way I want to start a Monday morning: half-clean with blue toes.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

It's 23 (-5 for unamericans) here. I'm getting tired of my car doors freezing shut.
There are still rumors floating about that Cheney might resign...
I'd be surprised, but then Bush did express confidence in Cheney at the same time he did about Rumsfeld so who knows...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
half-clean with blue toes.
That could be a song...
Baby, I've got the half-clean, blue toe blues....
OK, it could be a song in my head, anyway.

Earrings, bracelets, etc. made from microchips, resistors, etc.
Shepherds hook earrings with real electronic resistors. Midnight blue seed beads make up this fun design. They are lead free and the color bands (resistance value) may vary from pair to pair.
Heh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How very Bob Cratchett. Jesse, are you working for Ebenezer Scrooge?
Ha! That's what I said to my officemate! She totally looks like Bob Cratchitt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My mom grew up in Georgia during the depression. I was very shocked to find out she never got toys for Christmas. She got apples and Brazil nuts (not what they were called in Georgia in the thirties, of course), a twig of raisins on the stem and, if it was a very good year, an orange.
When we drove through the Florida orange groves her eyes lit up like she was seeing Santa's workshop.

Do the sushi ones come with a fish? This is obviously something I really need to know.
They come with plastic sushi! And different pieces are in each box! It's very exciting (obviously).

Because books.
My grandmother grew up in a little town in Delaware called Principio Furnace in the 1920s, and they were pretty poor. She told the same stories about getting oranges in her Christmas stocking, and what a treat it was.
