Dawn ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have no good ideas for presents this year! Except for things I want...
Same here. My mom thinks we can do all of the shopping AND cookie decorating in Eugene between the 22nd and the 24th. facepalm (We're having a family Christmas in Eugene this year, which is where my grandparents & an uncle & aunt live.)
Sharks not behind glass would be a different matter.
They'd be on the ground, which would lead to wackiness (at least, it would in my vision, because "not behind glass" gives me an image of the glass disappearing and the sharks -- along with the gajillion gallons of water -- pouring out onto the floor, and after some brief havoc, the sharks realizing that they're not so tough when they aren't surrounded by H2O).
shrift, if you are, can you tell me what it was I needed to get at the store tonight?
Shallots? Toothpaste? Poblano chiles? Couscous? Toilet paper?
Kitty litter?
A taser, wet noodles and a lot of scotch tape?
Aquarium tix are a great idea! I love the thought of tix as a family gift. I may have to steal that one from you.
I think that aquarium tickets are a great idea. Kids and animals, alive or dead for millennia. Good match.
Boss's admin just yelled "What do you want now?" to the sound of me approaching his desk. Apparently I walk loudly, and I walk distinctly. I try to be ladylike on the way back to my desk but it was slow and frustrating and I almost drew blood from my palms.
I think today will be another burger. I suck that way. Lazy, and lunching at desk.
Actually, a museum/aquarium/something membership is awesome, especially if it is one that partners with other venues in the area. My parents always get my brother a membership to a local museum because it has a reciprocal arrangement with a ton of places in the US, including a great exploratorium in B'ham. They get in free, so J can take the kids whenever. Also, it meant admission to the space center in Huntsville was also free.
I took Casper (and her fambly) to the NEAQ whens he was three, and she liked it a lot. Her mother did not like it so much, as it was extremely crowded and loud; but a three year old is old enough to appreciate a great deal of the material there.
(She especially liked the jellyfish, of which a special exhibit. She was less enthusiastic about sticking her hand in the live-animals petting zoo and touching a starfish.)
Okey dokey! I just got him his very own membership in his name. It comes with a plush shark, a fossil shark tooth, and four guest passes, so my parents, bro, and SIL can take him whenever they want to go for a full year.
But Auntie is totally taking him to see the penguins when she gets home.
