I left the house, and then came back and put on pajamas, and then realized I have nothing for dinner. I need to get dressed again and go out in the cold to get some dinner, I guess, which I really don't want to do. Or maybe order in.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I got up at 6:30 to go take a big-ass exam all morning. I think I did okay. Then J and I dug out the Christmas decorations and put a coat of varnish on the benches we got for wicked cheap from Overstock. We were going to go to a movie tonight but are going to veg at home instead. Too dang tired.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I loved my Roomba for two solid years until it turned into Dylan's plaything, which killed two batteries dead dead dead. ( He likes to sit in front of it and just press the buttons, which apparently is really bad for it.) So today I bought a normal vacuum to replace it, which cost less than a third Roomba battery. Sigh. I miss my robot.

The status is NOT quo.
Jessica is me, only replace "Dylan's plaything" with "kitty's urinal." Yeah. The cat peed on the Roomba and killed it ded like a ded thing. I miss Bender.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Kristin, what twitter app do you use on the iphone?

I think it's called Twitterific?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We got our tree. They didn't have the size we wanted so they cut it down. But there was a large-ish gap between the low branches and next level so it's a somewhat misshapen tree.
Emmett has lectured me at least three times already about how Christmas isn't about the perfect tree.
Matilda was very excited to get the tree. She danced around in front of it yelling: "Party, party, party! 'Tilda Party!" as we carried it home. Then she looked very serious and held on to a branch to help us. Then she got bored and zigged and zagged in front of me in a clear attempt to cause a trip-and-fall. Ultimately Emmett picked her up and she rode on the tree the last half block home. This pleased her greatly and amused the guy in the car at the corner.
There's a strand of purple lights in the tree that JZ will clearly need to rejigger when she gets home. We're going to need a high-waisted skirt for this tree.

My roomba is great, except when it gets suicidal and jams itself under the futon. It's kind of obsessed with doing that.
My nephew T LOVES the tree. My brother says he stands in front of it and starts just shrieking with delight and doing the overwhelmed-too-much-joy body shimmy. I definitely heard the first part of that when on the phone. Brother is thinking he may end up staying in 'bama. He's got a good offer there. But he's not totally sure yet.
It's funny to me how blond I was when I was little. My dad's sister looks very much like her mother did. And you can see Pomps in my brother very easily.
