Aimee, fast thinking in an emergency situation that result in the loss of life, limb or property qualifies you as Big Damn Hero.

I hope Christmas at Casa Miracleborn is calm and relaxed. And that you guys get off work early and get your shopping done.

The Yule Log Channel really does work great!.

We'll be having a real fire IN THE FIREPLACE this year.

Wow, go Aimee!! But that sounds very scary. Glad everyone is OK and it was not the whole house. Eep.

I must still be on eastern time. I popped away at 8:15 AM.

Morning Drew!

who knew she was a Super Hero?? I guess we were all duped by that hot disguise. Way to go on sniffing the fire before it spread.

So, two gifts of note yesterday. My sister, for the 1st time ever, gave me blah clothes. Usually she gives me something good with color that I'd actually wear. This year she gave a blah black Gap jacket. I really don't need another jacket. So? Do I return it today? Or wait for the mad post Xmas season to exchange?

I'll tap about the 2nd when I get to work with a real keyboard.

Our apartment looks like a whole bunch of bombs went off in it. It desperately needs cleaning. This will likely not happen until tomorrow or the next day.

No fires! I'm glad you guys are okay!

{{{JZ}}} What everyone else said, honey. Just let him know what happened. It will be fine, truly.

Mornin' sweetie! Does the family like the new car?

I seem have made chickpea soup instead of hummus. I followed the directions. TCG is picking up more cans of chickpeas now.

Mmmmmmm, at home, wearing inside pants but am working. And eating nummy fruitcake. And listening to K-Bug cough and blow her nose.

Aimee is a BIG DAMN HERO - even before the great Christmas eve morning fire that wasn't.

Aimee is indeed a big damn hero. But, man, I knew smoking could kill you; I just didn't know its evil plots involved things like flowerpots. Very tricksy, smoking, but Aimee totally outfoxed you this time!

I still miss my boss terribly.
