I'd started answering "42" to all her questions at that point.)

Love.

Pun intended?

sadly, no. completely oblivious.

NooooooOOooooo. But... But.... Hybrid!! :: sigh ::

This is from way earlier. Sadly fine German engineering won out over Hybrid technology. The good news is that I did purchase the model that is the last year they made the C230 with the supercharged I4 engine instead of the V6, so I get almost the same power as the V6, but I will still see just over 30 MPG in the car, which is the same as why I had in the Escape.

Hil, fwiw, I'm really quite enjoying OKCupid. In an enjoying-reading-people's-profiles-and-thinking-'bless'-quite-a-lot sort of way. And I've found several really very nice people, actually. So MM needs to get on with building the Matter Transporter, rather than trying to OMGBurnTheHouseDown!!!!

(Yay for MiracleBorn survival! Boo for sleep deprivation.)

So it's four minutes into December 25th in the UK!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BITCHES!!!!

Chez Jay, we have already eaten Christmas dinner. In a break from tradition, we had it on Christmas Eve; tomorrow we will have leftovers microwaved, and it will be just as yummy but less stressful for Mum. (As tomorrow will also involve a trip to Nana's house, round the corner, and as she is now incapacitated to the point that Mum will be spoon-feeding her mushed up turkey. In breaking news: Old Age Sucks.)

Meanwhile, rather than bringing up the '...so, I have a tattoo' issue thusly, I have made a point of wearing tops which 'inadvertently' reveal said tattoo. Er.

My mother thus far has made no comment. Which I'm good with - it's probably the most ideal and quintessentially British way of dealing with it, and means that I don't feel like I'm being Queen Decepto of the Lying People, but also we don't have to Have A Scene.

whereas in the US you can be in an elevator and a total stranger can walk in and say someting like, "you probably think those tattoos are pretty but they're actually quite ugly."

Oh my doG I am so bored. Right now a trip to WalMart would sound interesting.

What's your all time favorite Christmas movie?

o lordy he's gone to WalMart.

we are ded here. we just got a video of our nephew playing his new 'electric' guitar. He is three. This 'guitar' has all kinds of buttons and a microphone. i guess he played it for a good half hour - and yes he included the thank you at the end of his gig.

favorite Christmas movies -- the original animated Grinch followed by scrooged

We just did kitty Christmas stockings (yes, we are crazy cat ladies). Next we will watch some Christmas eps (Mr. Hanky, Charlie Brown, others). Then stockings and 1 giftie! Girlie martinis will be in there, too, along with dinner and baked goods. I'm glad the stressy part of the holiday is over.
