Glad you're feeling better, Tom.

My sister has fallen in love with a Canadian brand of cherry preserves, which shows up erratically here at Big Lots.

Hah. It's like Coffee Crisps and things - they show up totally randomly in weird ass stores and then I get looked at weird when I buy six.

great Santa pic! I'm leaving it on my computer

and Sara-- it is not just the same features, but a similar look!

We just got back from dinner at a Friends house. F makes the best martinis. I only had one- which means I can walk. but there was also champagne, wine and brandy....

need nap before bed.

Hil (no chance you name is short for Hila, right? Because I keep writing Hila...),

Nope, short for Hillary

in the video they wrote the Hebrew name of Jesus. Not sure they meant to - the word salvation looks very similar and sounds almost the same.

OK. Thanks. Either way, my question for them would be, "Huh? Why?" Because it seems like it's quite a few steps to go from dreidel to salvation.

Religion is craxy. Still, Hanukkah is my favorite holiday. I'm excited it's gonna be soon!

Sue, are these the ones? [link]. They seem ship to Canada.

I got a product is not available at this link. I think I looked there, and they only have the basic Isotoners. She wants ones that look like leather gloves on the back, but But hey, if JC Penney ships to Canada, that's news. Anyway my friend Krista did one better than letting me ship to her, she's going to go to Target and pick them up herself. She says she loves shopping at Target.

Ginger, if you want me to look for the preserves here, I will.

My cats were making so much of a commotion this morning that I was dreaming that they dragged a bicycle halfway up the basement stairs. They are at it upstairs right now, and it sounds like a soccer team, not two cats.

Chumley was VERY indignant that I stayed in bed past 7. Kept jumping up and complaining, then I'd grab him and hold him down until he wiggled free and ran out... then repeat. It would have been annoying if it weren't so damn cute.

OMG, so much gronk--

The dogs decided that wrestling-- on me-- was a great way to greet the morning.

I just attempted to put chocolate milk in my coffee.

Help.

Chocolate milk in coffee sounds delicious.

I have got to get out of the house!

Timelies all!

Nova did her usual "I'm staaaarving" routine outside the door this morning. Of course, once one of us goes downstairs and feeds the cats, she still bugs us for attention. It's a good thing she's so cute.

I too, need to leave. My cat slept in, so so did I.

I am trying to decide whether to walk to the tiny convenience type store about 10 minute away, or take the bus to the one 15 minutes away. The bus wastes a lot of time, because the return bus is an hour and fifteen minutes after the bus there. However, the little grocery store is much more expensive, and I can't use my cart anymore because of snow. I am paralyzed with indecision.
