Meanwhile, I thought you might be entertained by my kids' version of The Twelve Days of Christmas, which they just now composed:
I approve of numbers 1, 3, 4, 10 and 11. And 9, because I like the Thai flag. They came up with it to prevent anyone showing disrespect by hanging it upside down. (The previous design had an elephant, which possessed substantially greater disrespectability.)
Dinner was really, really, really good. Fun people and did I mention the food?
I'm watching Dr. Horrible right now, but immediately following, I will retire to my bed and digest like an anaconda who just noshed a hippo. Lord, I can feel the coma coming.
~ma for all. And blessing for a safe Fay.

Ok, now I'm picturing the Thai flag as a big "This End Up" Arrow.
Speaking of... the Stephen Colbert Christmas Special: It was wrong like a thing that was wrong. Possibly it was even wronger than that. So you oughta go out and buy it.
Oh, bless.
The kids who were in the after-school Jewellery Club have just had a jewellery sale, raising money for play equipment for the field. I bought a couple of pairs of earrings (one pair to match today's ensemble). And then I saw the Fabulous Blue Penis Earrings. Complete with balls that jingle. They are a thing of hilarious genius, and I must take a photo. I think they may have been crafted by one of my kids - certainly I don't think it's intentional. But the overall design effect is...shiny blue penis. That jingles.
Awesome.
Best part about waking up at 4am the day after Thanksgiving (when you have NO plans to go shopping...actually, you plan to stay as far away from any shopping center as possible)? Leftovers! In the fridge! Millions of them! YUM!
I'm up and I expect Mom will be here any minute so we can go shopping. Why yes, I am insane. Why do you ask?
Have fun, sj! I will be avoiding any store today. I'm making soup and taking care of my sicky boyfriend.
