I picked up a few things at Target today, too. The Christmas decoration section is dangerous—I'm lucky to get away with two birds for the tree.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can I just vent on the amount of homework he had on this "break":
That's too much homework. Emmett's homework load is literally about four times as much as mine was growing up, and started about four grades earlier.

I'm tempted to now call you tommyrocks!
Thanks for the instructibles link. You have just made my holiday season. I'm one of those people who has a 'thing'...the thing I'm famous for making every year. For about 15 years, it's been Martha Stewart's gingerbread cookies. Very cool design with as holly leaf cookie cutter, 9 leaves pressed into a wreath with red hots for the berries. Believe it or not, people anticipate them.
This year, however, I think I'll switch it up. I love Lush so much but have not purchased anything in a while. Now I'll make my own!
Now to figure out where to buy citric acid.
Thanks!

Punishingly Intricate
Was contacted on the Facebook by a guy who was a junior high/high school friend of my older brother's who I had a crush on and who I went to see Spinal Tap with many, many, many years ago. And, it turns out, he also went to college with JZ.
HOW IS THE WORLD SO SMALL!??!?!!?

Is Minearverse still the de facto craft thread? I'm having questions about almond oil and possible bath goodies molds.

Thrive to spite them
Barb I quit watching the game at half time.
Dad and I debated going, we were both on the verge of not going, then around noon it started to look like rain and we called it off.
I'm not dedicated enough to go sit in a poncho in the rain, (esp when it's in nearly 80) to watch FSU lose.
Plus I'm pissed off that Bobby Bowden didn't disipline the two players who were arrested for fighting. They weren't suspsended for the game or anything.

“Not dead yet!”
I made it to midway through the third quarter then switched to watching The Good Shepherd-- it was more cheerful.
Bah.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I just had to explain the concept of meme to DH. Why did they make an actuary director of marketing?
