Yesterday's theme continues...
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At my job, we are still (since yesterday) getting much hilarity out of the emails sent by the Holiday Party Committee. I swear, I've never laughed so hard over font choice in an email.

OK, this is random -- my boss is Facebook friends with a guy with my mother's maiden name. I wonder if we're related! Then I had to ask my boss who he was, thereby revealing my work time Facebook usage...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

At my Cousin Philip's wedding we found out that the bride's Stepfather not only has the same last name but is from the same part of Illinois as our Grandmother's family. We are all profoundly grateful it is her Stepfather.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think we're buying a live tree to plant this year. We won't actually be here for Christmas, so I dunno. But I think so.
I am Sue's opposite, though. I have no ornaments. We bought some awesome ones painted by our Navajo buddy; sand painted weaving combs and patterned balls. But we keep giving them away as gifts, so we're out again.
So I have one giant and gorgeous handmade one that I got in an ornament exchange (even though I didn't bring an ornament as I was an impromptu guest) and a set of wedding basket ones. But that's all.
I don't have any lights, either.

I need to send you some ornaments, Liese.
I also have too many lights. At one point, I had enough multi-coloured mini lights for my tree, as well as a white set, but I gave the multi sets to my mom and dad.
Did I mention that I also regularly buy ornaments for my parent's tree. It's a sickness!
