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.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll see you your potluck office parties, and raise you a potluck gubernatorial inauguration.
I'm tempted to go.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
That's crazy --
I can go down to my bank and get one on the spot,now. But years ago it was still less than a week
Why yes, I do tend to misplace my bank card

Cashmere, that's crazy. My bank does temporary cards the 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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That's kind of awesome. I'll have to find out if anyone I know is going.

Is you credit card the same as your debit?
