Am gonna do my best. That's some of the shopping to be done. Problem was I'd tell my brother "I'm going to get them X when I get in town" and he'd come back with "I just won a bid on X on ebay!" I was about to strangle him. He was stealing my ideas.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Stupid FedEx. My Xmas present to myself is now not gonna arrive until the 29th.
I ordered it a week ago and it's still sitting in CA.

It was below freezing when I was walking in to work this AM - in Georgia. But I kind of liked it; it feeds the New Englander in my soul. It was 75 and rainy most of last week - Casper wore flip flops and a tank top to school on Thursday - and that was just wrongity wrong and also very unChristmassy.

It'll get warmer once the Devil gets back.
ION, are you sick of "Devil went down to Georgia" jokes yet?

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, this is what I've got it narrowed down to, dessert-wise:
- New Orleans Bread Pudding w/Whisky Sauce
- Ginger Pear Upside Down Cake
- Red Velvet Cake
- Chocolate Malt Cake
- Chocolate Pavlova w/ raspberries
- Molasses Spice Cake w/Orange Buttercream Frosting
What do we think?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my parents, the GRANDparents, did not buy a toy for mac. talk about falling down on the job. They took one I had bought and one my brother had. I think I need more for mac's stocking, but I have no interest in small crappy stuff that will get thrown out in a day or two, nor in candy that will make him a bouncy unmanagable boy (there will be enough of that on Christmas as it is).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
And now it is raining.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
talk about falling down on the job.
Seriously! For the stocking, I often got a fancy toothbrush (and in my easter basket, too), and of course an orange.

Did you get a fresh set of Crayolas for his stocking, msbelle? I always got crayolas and a new watercolor set in mine. LOVED IT.

I think I vote bread pudding for dessert.
Why is it so cold in here????
Also, I have already cracked the whip this morning, so I think I'm done with working....
