"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww! Yay mac! Yay Christmas tree!

We need to get ours. I think we're going to try for a little live one again, because we bought property, and we can plant it there! Since we won't get to build there for a while, it'll be nice to feel like we're making it our own.

Plus, I need a tree, because I went to an unexpected Christmas party the other day with a friend of mine. They had an ornament exchange, but of course, I didn't have an ornament because I was invited at the last minute. But one nice lady who was leaving early gave me her spot in the ornament exchange. And so I drew this incredibly lovely handmade ornament all beaded and beribboned by one of the older ladies in the group. I'll have to take its photo. It's gorgeous. But I didn't have a tree to hang it on, because I am lazy! I don't even have my nativity scene (made of stones when I was a kid, I know, weird kid) out.

Also?

Because having two would allow us to catapult things at the other catapult,

You absolutely have to get a second catapult.

I want to meet Mac too! I have Mac-centric gifts, cause I'm not above bribing a kid for affection.

OK. less than an hour left. I'd bounce in my chair if only my chair were bouncy. No more work this week. WOOT WOOT.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I am talky.

I am off work, because I cleared my administrative slate to go teach a private lesson late afternoon, but my student (a twin) is having a student council meeting. The SO is teaching her sister right now, but I have an hour that has absolutely nothing planned for it. Maybe I'll go watch the end of the Lost Room. Which, I know, is more than an hour, but give me an inch and I'll take a mile.

eta: Woot for no more work for Kat!

MWAH! Hi Liese!

I looked at Lori this morning and said, "Hey! We should go to Santa Fe for Christmas!" And by that, I meant THIS Christmas. Which, since it's in less than two weeks, seems a little unpossible.

Hey! Anyone want to plan a trip to Santa Fe for me and Lori? We'll drive there, but we need a place to stay, an itinerary of things to do. We can leave 12/22 and be home by 12/27. Thanks.

Yay trees and no more work!

And with that, I'm going home. In the fog.

ita, you are welcome anytime.

bribery certasinly helps.

Liese, I bought a live potted tree for several years and then donated them to NYC Parks. I loved doing that. Having your land to plant them on sounds wonderful.

I was going to recommend to Liese that she get an ornament display centerpiece from Crate and Barrel, but looking at their website, it looks like they're already sold out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hey, we got ourselves a Christmas tree today, too. But it's still in the car right now. Maybe I should take it out and untie it while the kids are still napping.

Also? I want to meet Mac too. I just can't think how to make it happen, other than by pulling a Kat and asking someone else to plan it for me.

But do you see, Burrell, how no one is offering to plan my trip to Santa Fe?
