You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"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?

There is no conference happening in NYC some weekend that you need to attend?

A great idea for those looking to spend some of their end-of-year money on a charity or two: Kiva.org, an online lending platform for microfinancing (like the new Nobel Peace Prize winner started, only virtual). For $25, you can help finance a small entrepreneur.
