Which is not to say that the tribes haven't been shafted

truth. I've just read too much Vine Deloria and remember other secessions to get really roused. Though if anyone deserves good results from any political action, I would say the Tribes do.

Finally home...

I'm too tired to enjoy this first evening of Winter Break. Husband just gave me a glass of wine, I'll probably be dead to the world by 10. At least there is no alarm for tomorrow!

My gingerbread cookie/gracie pics didn't come out! They're frozen or something!

Here's one of me and the bean: [link]

What a great picture! Although I was kind of distracted by your pretty hair, makeup, and cleave.

What a beautiful picture!

esp. ditto Jesse

Man, I'm tired. Completely useless day at work. I think that the only reason the university offices were open today is because they couldn't force us to take vacation time if we wanted it off.

And I'm tired - - the tiredness of somebody who should have taken time off months ago and didn't. I felt very bad complaining to my friend who has been working on a nasty project that she knew would be bad and time consuming etc and has probably spent less than 10 hours in her own home in the past two weeks. But I want to complain - because I spent a useless day at work when I could have been lounging at home.

home would have been better

It's so aggravating to be at work just because you have to be there, not because there's stuff that needs doing. A poor use of your time, chosen by someone else.

Oh, my, Grace looks great and cute and Allyson looks mrowr
