Merry Christmas!!!!!
My family called at 7 to make up for the fact that my niece and nephew can't jump on me to wake me up for Christmas as per usual. Also, I had a present with instructions to open first thing--it turned out to be a filled stocking! Sometimes my sister is really just awesome.
Wait, WTF, thunder? I thought that didn't happen here!
Merry Christmas!
I'm on the train to my sister's. I stayed out way too late last night. Am v. tired.
I stayed out way too late last night.
In a good way?
Seattle we are having your weather. 10 C and raining.
Merry Krimble and a Joyous Thursday to all the wonderful Buffistas. Knowing you all is a gift each and every day.
I'm already looking at store online for an artificial tree. I think mac and I will be out early to try and get a bargain on one. Unless I find a great deal with cheap shipping online. If anyone has a rec for a store or brand, let me know.
Merry Christmas/Chanukah/Solstice to everyone!!
msbelle, I got my fake tree at Michaels the day after Christmas for half-off. I found out the following year when I opened it that it had been used before it was returned (remnants of blue garland in the box), but it's a perfectly fine tree.
I'm doing laundry right now, but should be done in time to get to Dad's by 2:30 or so. Dinner isn't until 5:00, so my sleeping in wasn't a disaster.
As Teresa Nielsen Hayden says,
"a silly but irresistible practical joke: a solemn procession of the clergy of the Lutheran Church of Iceland, with an additional participant quietly joining the end of the queue."

Well, it's snowing here. AGAIN. Fourth time in a week. ARGH. (Though at least this time, it should just melt on hitting the pavement, thank god, unlike the other times)
Go Matt and the awesome Christmas Eve, woot!
I made monkeybread, and have plans to see movies at noontime.
Obligitory Holiday Greetings, Buffistas!
Matt, that sounds like the best tradition ever! Wish I could do the same!
I am alone and grumpy. I've been battling a rash on my face for months. I cannot figure out what is causing it! I've given up every food that makes life worth living and still it keeps coming back! I should have made an appointment to see and dermatologist or an alllergist months ago, but worried about the cost. Now that I am a week away from losing my job, I just don't have the wherewithall or time, before I move.
So, I'm doing laundry, posting stuff on Craig's List and cleaning/packing.
I may pause long enough to watch some figure skating later. Otherwise, just a day off for me.
But, I am cheered and charmed by everyone else's celebrations and I hope there will be adorable mini-buffista pictures posted soon, with wrapping paper strewn around them and bows on their heads, etc.
Cheers, all!
