Hurrah for Christmas booty!
(No, not
that
kind of booty. Shame on you!)
Yesterday I scored some L'Occitane goodies and a double packet of imported TimTam wafer biscuits.
Today I have a Christmas box of Hershey's toffeenut thingimabobs
and two PotC figurines!!!!
One of Cap'n Jack Sparrow, and the other of Davey Jones! Because one of my kids is the daughter of my awesome fellow geek co-worker!
Best. Christmas pressie. Evah.
(Oh, how I laughed at the people sporting Really Awful necklaces from the large family of kids whose mother's elegance belies the awfulness of her gifts. Yes, last year I was one of those people. This year - this year, I have
Captain Jack!!!)

God, it's like 2007's determined to kick Buffista ass while is still can!
The sad thing is, I wouldnt' have gotten this as wordplay until you mentioned, and then I had to go "huh? OH!"
Well, I looked at it askance to start with - but he's all about the poetry and the wordgames, so after a moment I was all 'Aha! Clever!'
jen, your thinking, even though you aren't believing it , seems logical and correct to me. I have been sending out the ma~~~ since I read your post.
{{{Jen}}} Much ~ma to your friend. If it's any consolation, one of the basses in our choir had a similar accident this spring, and he's healthy and back on his bike now.
Jen, best of luck to your friend.
Do you have anything else in the shortening family?
Nope, not unless vegetable oil counts. But I cut the recipe in half (luckily it asked for 2 eggs, not 3!), and it turned out fine.
Also, my friends and I watched ANTM (which has had a terribly lame season), polished off a bottle of wine (um, I might've had more than my share) and saw "Crowned", the new mother-daughter pageant show. OMG SO MUCH TRASHY TRASHY FUN. TERRIBLE. BUT OMG. They had to give themselves a name, and one duo named themselves "Silent But Deadly".
They had to give themselves a name, and one duo named themselves "Silent But Deadly".
They'll end up being like one of those smells that announces it's presence and lingers past the point you could actually believe one could.
Not entirely unlike Keith Richards!
Jen, I'm definitely sending prayers and vibes for your friend.
Jen, much ~ma for your friend.
Sister's wedding in t-minus 53 hours.
Holy Sanctuary, Batman!!
t looks at To-Do list
runs around screaming and flailing
Yikes, Aimee! How exciting!
Lots of ~ma for your friend, Jen, and for you and the rest of the family she has and that she's made for herself.
Aimee, I hope that the screaming and flailing means you're having a great time helping to pull this great event together!
I went end-over-teakettle last night down the basement stairs and did a mid-air flip-flop to protect the puppy in my arms. She's fine, thank goodness, but I spent the rest of the evening icing my twisted ankle. I am only slightly gimpy today, and still hope to make it to a Christmas party at the Folger Shakespeare Library tonight.
