I know there's something I'm forgetting to do, but I just had lunch with someone who's not planning on finishing his shopping until tomorrow (he just started today), so I feel very ahead of at least one curve to hand.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My brother didn't buy my mom a new DVD player for Xmas. Which is vexing, since I got her DVDs. So I'm going to get her a cheapo model from Circuit City. I'm probably better off going late-ish tonight than tomorrow morning, right?
I think that, at this time of year, stores should have live traffic cameras.

Bought my coffee lovin' brother in law half pound of blue mountain for Christmas.

Oops.
Sorry.
But it sure tastes good.

Our wings are not tired.
And I am leaving now to do more shopping. It must be done.

What is even happening?
Strega, I think late-ish tonight is better. Don't forget to buy a weapon so you can murderlize your brother for last minute changes of plans.
ita, if I don't see you on the board again, I hope you have a good trip home and a wonderful holiday.
Go in peace, Laura.

But it sure tastes good.
And it smells like heaven.
It is in its bag, in a grocery bag, both of which are tucked into a bigger grocery bag. It is five feet away from me. And I can smell it.
The only risk I can see is my BiL becoming addicted to $40lb coffee.

Forecast is for 60 today in NYC!! 60 on 12/23!
It's supposed to be in the 50's here for Xmas Eve. My 10 year old nephew says this will be his first green Xmas.
My dad got me caught up in a rather Proustian quest to male Coquilles St. Jacques like his mother used to make it. The funny thing was that when it came time to cook it, I think he managed to finagle everyone into food prep and only got involved in the making of the patties. I ate a bit of one, but it was a little to seafood-y for me, which was strange since scallops are one of the few things from the sea I'm usually okay with.

The discovery I made Thursday was that my finger isn't arthritic, but my ligaments have scarred into a position holding it more than slightly bent.
GP wanted me to go to a hand doc to get it unbent--the ligaments need to be torn and let heal extended, without losing the ability to bend.
I decided that I would skip the hand guy and tear them myself--that's what caused the pain in my Thursday night posting. Well, I got the finger straight--friend bent it a little further for good luck.
I left the finger too long out of the brace yesterday, and it started to bend again. So I had the friend hyperextend it again.
My god, that's some pain. But it's iced, and going back in the brace which now looks like crap, which means I'll have to go actually buy one (the GP tossed this one my way). I have more to do tomorrow than I planned.
Brace time!
