Poor Tom.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Trust my rage
Is it too late to talk about my weekend?
Friday - took Ellie to an award ceremony Joe was in charge of. She had a rgeat time harrassing a 6 year-old who didn't seem to know what to do with Ellie. I stepped in when it stopped being fun.
Saturday - went to the beach but it was too windy to be fun. Got breakfast as usual. Got our Chrstmas tree (huge and cheap!). Saw a movie with Joe. Went to a barbeque with new friends and some old friends.
Sunday - went to church but left in the middle of a depressing sermon. Took Ellie to get donuts instead. Went grocery shopping with Ellie. Napped with Ellie. Decorated tree while Ellie napped some more. Cleaned backyard in preperation for party on Thursday. Went to dinner and then to bed.
Monday - left work early due to very sore back from all the work on Sunday.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Looks like the Killer Freezing Rainstorm of Icy Death (and Sleet) has mostly missed us....

Punishingly Intricate
I have gotten basically nothing done for the holidays and it is FREAKING ME OUT! And I'm working at my friends' store for the next two Saturdays which should be good for present buying but not for, like, getting lights up at my house or getting a tree. I'm seriously contemplating not getting one this year which would be unprecedented for me.

timelies!
the day started out not bad, but now i feel like i'm going to be sick. i've never had nausea come on this quickly before for what seems to be no reason. my co-worker is eating chicken and dumplings straight out of the can and that smell is just making it worse. and before you ask, no, i'm not pregnant.

Snow! We got a ton of snow last night. Dunno how the roads are yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Straight out of the can? That sound very unappetizing.
I have to finish Christmas cards (tiggy, thanks for the card!) and we need to shop for DH's family. I've finished buying for the kids and given my sister the money to shop for the other kids in the family. So I'll say we're half-way to being holiday ready.

The teacher was late, so I took the opportunity to run over to Whole Foods to grab takeout French toast and scrambled eggs, so I'm not starving the way I usually am at this time. I should do more breakfasts.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
(2) hypnotizing Pete so he is willing to spend hours painting black bats on the frivolous pink furniture.
That reminds me that I need to buy a GSC long-sleeved tee. I can't decide which bat design, although I'm leaning very strongly towards Sharp Bat.
Matilda boggled at a 2-story Christmas tree and whispered, "oooooooh" into Emmett's shoulder.
Awwwwwwwww!

Speaking of breakfasts and cereals:
I just had a blinding revelation regarding Secret Santa duties, which I'll share here because it may help somebody besides me.
It's that I don't have to put together a big package all at once. I really want to knit something nice that will take some time, but I can put together a smaller package of less time-intensive goodies to tide the giftee over.
This will save me from dithering and procrastinating until the Ultimo-Bestest-Ever Sekrit Santa Package is put together, and my giftee won't be contemplating an empty cobweb-bedecked mailbox for the next X months.
