I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Tonight: Stop by the store on the way home and pick up the last few gift cards I need and all of my greeting cards for family. Then I have to get everything filled out, wrapped, and boxed up before going to bed.

Saturday: Post office first thing, and then the bookstore from 10-6, which should be really insano-busy. Then home to sleeeeeep!

Sunday: Pick up Dad's gift (gift set from the liquor store--he loves his B&B) and wrap that, then relax.

Monday-Wednesday, I'm supposed to work at the office, but I've got two more days of PTO to take this year, so I'm going to check with my boss on Monday if I can take 1/2 days on the Tuesday and Wednesday of both weeks remaining this year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the whole, "What happens, happens" thing that Spike was good at.

Ahh, when Spike was good. Might be time for a rewatch.

This weekend I have to go by New Balance and buy more crap for my sister. I'm going to have a lot of room in my bags on the way back, especially since I hope the only gift I'm receiving is the ticket home.

A coworker's 9 year old, a student assistant, and a coworker not the parent of the above, seem to be playing football in my office. Give me a freaking break.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's Christmas time. Why aren't more of my coworkers leaving out candy for me to take?

I think they brought it all here by mistake. OMG, sweets overload.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here, too!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we have had cookies and chocolates galore for a week. Today I got a free lunch (prospective food providor) and just got my first gift (a vendor).

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm the one who did the bringing here--today it's homemade peanut brittle. Monday=baked goods.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Mmm, baked goods. I have to convince my mom to make Hello Dolly's while I'm home.

Today: Printing newsletter, private lessons, planting bulbs? Saturday: Private lessons, housecleaning, packing Sunday: Taking solstice measurement, whee! Leaving for IN.

We're such big geeks we're waiting until solar noon on winter solstice so we can take a measurement of where the sun falls in our sunroom. It should perfectly fill the room on that day. If so, we're going to mark it, and hopefully that will be the first stage of a solar calendar on the floor in that room.

And then we're going to leave for our trip. But we had to wait for solstice! I hope we really have sun!
