Woo hoo! One scarf and one picture frame ordered, and maybe I'm done shopping! Oh crap, except for my father's birthday. Darn.

In other news, I just deleted my friend out of my phone by accident, and we're supposed to have plans tonight. Sigh.

Made of heartburny NOM.

::whimpers::

Want. And considering how much garlic I had today, that's saying something. The only downside to that delectable combo is that it has to be cooked at home. Lewis HATES shellfish, more specifically, he hates the smell of shellfish cooking-- it makes him seriously ill. Bad flashbacks to a childhood summer when his mom picked up many pounds of raw shrimp at the seafood market and on the way home, the styrofoam cooler overturned in the back of the car. In the middle of summer. In Florida. They never did completely get the smell out of that car.

So sadly, while I ADORE all manner of shellfish, I stick to only having it when we're out at restaurant.

Still... ::whimper::

And odd-shellfish hate notwithstanding, Lewis is the bestest of husbands. Not only did he get me Robin Williams tickets for Christmas, he got me FRONT ROW tickets.

Robin.

Front row.

Hold me.

Wow, that's awesome. I'm jealous. (passes thread virtual zantac for heartburn)

A Miser Brothers’ Christmas is on the ABC Family channel.

Got my hair cut today. My regular hairdresser is back from mat leave. She styled it a little differently than she has been. It isn't as flippy and...I like it just as much as the other way. I'll have to practice at it a bit. I love that I can just let her do whatever, and she always manages to come up with something that looks good on me.

The stores themselves weren't that bad today; the traffic, OTOH...whoa. So much stupid out there.

tree is done except for the vintage ornaments - discovered 2 ornaments that need repair, so I will do that tonight.

Most non-tree decorations are out , but just set and need to be put out in a way that makes sense so you can see them.

Cookies did not get cooked, cards did not get started. BUT, 2 toy items did get picked up by neighborhood people - these weren't sales, just giveaways, but still - always happy when things leave the house.

The tree's up. Didn't get any major shopping done but the tree is a good start. The outside lights will have to wait until tomorrow.

I've got my baking plan for this week.

I am bailing on a party tonight, because the other friend who was going to be there is sick, and it's an hour away, and and and.

In short, am lame.

I have made the dough for gingerbread bats, and I have three separate dishes of marshmallow fluff cooling in the fridge, waiting to become rose or violet marshmallows. I suppose I should eat something other than sugar, huh?
