I just finished a sock, but it was with really superhuman knitting efforts (I knit from 2:00 yesterday afternoon until 8:00 pm, and then from 4:00 am - 8:00 am, and more on the bus on the way to the party! Now she has tried on the sock and I have to knit another one!
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
whenever we had a financial crisis, there was widespread speculation about whether the shrimp would be there.
I bet you could peg xmas retail sales directly to the amount of shrimp served during the holidays.

We didn't have anything taken out of our bank account but it will take them two weeks to get us new debit cards. TWO WEEKS. That's AFTER Christmas. *headdesk*
I think I'm going to try Aims' hat & scarf for a gift for my sister.

I'll see you your potluck office parties, and raise you a potluck gubernatorial inauguration.

We're having a holiday lunch at a nice hotel next week. No booze, but that's because it's in the middle of the day and, in theory, we're going back to work that afternoon. (In reality the managers will all send us home.) I have a doctor's appointment that afternoon where I'll, hopefully, be allowed back on the booze, so the lack of lunchtime alcohol doesn't really affect me.

I intended to make a lot of presents this year, and I have made nada!
I was just reading the NYT article about how cheap lobster is. New york doesn't know from cheap. : [link]
I was thinking about getting some for my folks before I went home next Saturday...but then I realized they'd be alive!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are they fucking kidding? That shit should come same-day.

We have a credit union--so that may be the problem. Still, a HUGE pain in the ass. DH can just get cash out and I can write checks locally, but online will be tricky without the card.
