Merry Christmas Christmas-celebrating-Bitches!
Happy Day all Bitches!
Congratulations on your continued time with the living, ND!
Aww, Andi. Just, awww.
Olympia is a small town: no Chinese restaurants are open tomorrow in the greater Olympia area,which is why we bought it tonight.
There are no restaurants open in Juneau today, with the possible exception of McDonalds. My friend checked with every non-fast food restaurant in town. Surprised the heck out of me. I thought it would be like Thanksgiving, where at least several of the big(ish) restaurants put on big dinners and one smaller one sells pre-cooked dinners for 8 or 12.
Must go to bed so I can get up, um, soon. Not sleepy. I have a feeling I'm going to regret this later.
Merry Christmas, Everyone who celebrates! Happy Festivals of Calling Back the Sun!
libkitty said it nicely, so I'll repeat:
Merry Christmas Christmas-celebrating-Bitches! Happy Day all Bitches!
I can't believe it's already (past) solstice. I did not have my issues this year of "OMGMustHaveSunSoon!" I kept thinking "Hey whoa, I guess the days are getting short" but that was it. Still, longer days = good.
Of course, today is turning into The Grinchester Who Stole Christmas, so I'm off to go try to spread joy and cheer in the house. If that fails I'll be back.
We had our usual loud, too much food Christmas Eve at Mom's last night. Today we opened our presents and are trying to get ourselves together to go to TCG's dad's house in a little while.
NPR told me last week that the days start getting longer a couple of days before the solstice this year, due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit.
I think the deal is that the sun starts rising earlier a few days before the solstice. Or maybe it starts setting later a few days before the solstice. But not both, as the solstice is still the shortest day....
Merry christmas!!
My Secret Santa present came today! There was a knock at the door and I thought it was my dad, but no! It was the mail man. With a package from Amy! Full of wonderful purple and dragonfly things and cookies. (more details in Good Riddance). And a mix CD, which I'm playing right now and IFG.
I was on the phone with my brother who gave me the best news -- they're having a baby!!!! She's due in August. I'm going to be an aunt.
Now I really do have to learn to crochet something cool. Oh, and it's so awesome because my parents will be retired by then and can travel up to see them.
I'm going to be Aunt Ali!!
