I want one of Ann's fruitcakes. But I am such a lurky-loo on this board I don't feel deserving of one.

I am totally wasting time. Although I did finally start sorting clothing for laundry. But I got sidetracked by finding my swim cap. Now I'm sitting here with my swim cap and goggles on, trying to get the fit right. I should go look in the mirror and laugh at myself.

Yesterday I went to the mall, where I spent a lot of money on stuff for me work, and nsm for gifts.

This post brought to you by non sequiturs.

Ha! Just took the pooches outside. There was only a dusting on the back porch, so they started down the stairs, sunk in, and turned back around and peed on the porch. Oops.

Hot chocolate time!

ETA: I measured, and it looks like we've got about 8 inches so far.

d, you are around. We know you, and recognize you. You have added caring, concerned, and helpful comments to more than one discussion. I don't want to speak for Anne, but you don't have to keep us entertained constantly to feel like a deserving part of this board. Shoot, sometimes we get more entertainment out of Owen, Annabel, Em, not to mention Emmett and a whole cast of characters who are not on the board, many of whom can't even type yet, than we do out of people who are on the board.

Eight inches? Good grief. One more reason I am not living in Boston, though there are many drug companies!

Javachik, I am in DC from Dec 28 to Jan...um...3rd? 4th? Something like that. So that's overlapping, right?? I haven't actually made any plans yet, which is probably not good, but ah well.

The little black dress party last night was fun--so many varieties of little black dress!! The two month old baby (the GILF's grandchild) won for "littlest black dress". I got nominated for "most classic", but did not bribe the judges (the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence), so another girl I know won (ah well). Good fun.

I hope there is lots of laughter at my funeral. And drinking. Lots of drinking. And some dancing, all my favorite songs. I do not, however, want people hooking up and thinking of me, so i will refrain from hoping there is sex.

YAY! I'm in town then too, from the 30th to the 1st.

I have a feeling I'm going to get stuck in Denver today. I'm flying to Toronto which is getting hit by the storm but I connect through Denver and I have a bad feeling my flight will be cancelled coming out of Denver.

Ground stops in Cleveland and Detroit mean I am here until Tuesday.

DH is scrambling to find a babysitter so he canmn go to work tomorrow. This sucks.

Oh, Cashmere. I'm so sorry.

Cash, that blows. I'm so sorry.

-d, what WindSparrow said.

I have a stack of papers to grade today. I am going to tackle them shortly, but I think I may have to have White Christmas or Love, Actually on in the background as a consolation prize.

If you people don't start talking, I'm going to be forced to work. Save me!
