I am decorating the apartment. Charlie Brown Xmas tree is up and lit. I can't find the stockings so I am out to get a couple for Kristen and me.

I also need more sticky hook things to hang the lights. I have no shortage of red beads, it seems, but not enough garland.

Also also, I need more ornaments. I can't find the box that had the sparkly dreidels to hang on the tree.

Damn.

I made cinnamon rolls this morning, and have no idea what to make for dinner. I think I have fixins for sugar cookies, though. Not as sweet smelling as Polgara's ginger cookies, but still!

I should have an xmas party!

Why are you asking? Are you on some sort of Secret Santa related mission?

Hee. I thought about how to post a hypothetical question earlier and thought better of it. Not that I'm doing any Secret Santa stuff. Just, if I was.

One of the advantages of living a mile from my sister, who hosted Tday, is that I could stop there on my way home from my hair appointment, pick up my freshly-washed dog (how awesome is my sister? She washed my dog!), and get a turkey-berry sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy! Woot.

Now I may nap.

There is no way in hell I'm going shopping today, but I do have a stack of catalogs to peruse...

I may need to make the second pumpkin pie I have the fixins for...

I think that sounds like a good idea.

The puppies can go outdoors! (sort of...)

Last year someone, I don't remember who, did a supersneaky one--s/he got a conversation started in Movies about what movies made people say, "I know I love this, why don't I own it already?" every time they saw them, and then got his/her target the #1 movie on that person's list. Devious! (Plus, a fun conversation for its own sake.)

I think I did that to Laga. Hee. Worked well, too.

You're a sly one! (Remind me that at some point before she outgrows it, I need to film Matilda answering the question, "What does a sneaky person say?")

Also, hi! I feel like I never post anymore due to workday craziness and evening exhaustion. There are so many people I miss.

I don't know what to do with myself...David's had Matilda all day, and I'm sitting in a little coffeehouse poaching free internet off the bar across the street and writing. 1,500 words today and still going. My brain hasn't been spinning like this, in a good way, since almost forever. It's lovely.
